Student answer (Band 6.0)

Nowadays, many of the urban areas are developing too rapidly so the growing population can be controlled by the infrastructure. Due to this, most of the individuals says that the efficient way to allow enough homes in the metropolitan cities is to construct tall apartment blocks. I firmly agree with the statement that building tall apartments will be the best solution for allocating enough homes.

Many of the urban and rural areas are building the taller apartment so they can use the land in the best way for the housing. First of all, building the tall apartments will develop the cities with the modern facilities and the infrastructure of the many cities will be improved and can get a high-tech equipment for every individual. Secondly, constructing larger apartment will provide a better quality of living for each and every one and the lifestyle can be also improved because of their surroundings people.

There are various advantages of building tall apartments in the large cities. Firstly, by building huge apartments the land will be saved and can be used for the other facilities by the government and a large number of families can live at the one place and this will also help in socializing from each other. To illustrate, cities like Mumbai and Delhi are building tall apartment so the rest of the land can be used for building public parks. Moreover, the shortage of land is the major issue in this modern world and because of this land issue taller apartment will be the efficient way and a more amount of building can be constructed for the peoples.

To sum up, i believe that building taller apartment will be the effiecent way for providing home as it will develop infrastructure of the cities and modern facilities can be used. it will provide a better quality of life for people as well as shortage of land will also solved.

AI examiner evaluation

Task Achievement / Task Response — Band 6.0

The response addresses the prompt and maintains a clear position throughout. You have provided relevant reasons, such as land conservation and the potential for improved infrastructure. However, the development of these ideas is somewhat repetitive. For instance, the point about 'land shortage' is mentioned in both the second and third paragraphs without significant expansion. To reach a higher band, ensure that each paragraph introduces a distinct, well-supported argument rather than restating similar points. The conclusion effectively summarizes your stance, but the overall depth of analysis remains at a general level.

Coherence and Cohesion — Band 6.0

The essay is organized into logical paragraphs, each with a clear focus. You use basic cohesive devices such as 'First of all', 'Secondly', and 'To sum up' to guide the reader. However, the flow between sentences is sometimes mechanical, and the use of referencing is occasionally unclear, such as in the phrase 'because of their surroundings people'. The progression of ideas is generally logical, but the transition between the benefits of infrastructure and the benefits of social interaction could be smoother. Improving the variety of linking words would help the essay read more naturally.

Lexical Resource — Band 5.5

You demonstrate an adequate range of vocabulary for the task, using terms like 'metropolitan', 'infrastructure', and 'socializing'. However, there are several instances of awkward word choice and collocation errors, such as 'can be controlled by the infrastructure' (which does not fit the context) and 'a more amount of building'. Additionally, there are minor spelling errors like 'effiecent'. To improve, focus on using collocations more accurately and expanding your vocabulary to include more precise academic terms rather than relying on general descriptors.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy — Band 5.5

The essay uses a mix of simple and complex sentence structures. While the meaning is generally clear, there are frequent grammatical errors, particularly with subject-verb agreement ('most of the individuals says') and article usage ('the taller apartment'). Some sentences are slightly disjointed due to these errors. While you attempt complex structures, they are often marred by inaccuracies. To achieve a higher score, focus on proofreading for basic grammatical consistency and ensuring that pluralization and verb forms are used correctly throughout your writing.
