Student answer (Band 5.0)

In recent days is totally dependent on the technology. Few people argue that in tecnologies age, theatres and cinemas house are not much important for people. and other argu that both are important for economic and cultural. I also strongly agree with primary satatement that person are watch all the movie and tv shows online.

Some person argrue that, theatres and cinemas are important for economy and culture. There are some reason that why people are agree with this argue, the first point is that It will be incress the earning field. There are many people work in theatres, so it is one type of the earning field. The second reason is that , this is one type of entrationment place . Some time because of all weeks or month stress ,also some of the celebration people are going for the theatres.

According to my view, There are plethora of reasons comes in my mmind, and first and foremost is that Now days there people are very busy and they have no time for do for movie and they always choose online portal for watching a movie. To illustrate, with use of busy schedule and comfortbaly sleep and watching a movie is the best way for some of them. Futhermore, it is worth noting is that, There are lots of online channels are avalable . So when the movies are relize on theatres it also avalable online, becuase of thet people are not ready to waste the money and time. To clear example is that, Online movies are more cheaper and without wasting time . Thus, people select a online watching movie.

In conclution, some people argu that theatres are usefull for economy and culture because of earning state and entratinemt purpose. But people always choose watching online movie becuase of lots of online portal and more cheaper.

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 5.5

You present a clear preference for online viewing, especially in the opening and conclusion, and you do address both sides of the question. The economic and cultural case is represented through employment and entertainment, while your own view is supported by convenience, busy schedules, and lower costs. However, the discussion is only partial: the cultural importance of theatres is barely explained, and the economic point that theatres provide jobs is not developed with a specific example or explanation. Your claim that films are available online when released in theatres is also too broad to support the argument reliably. Develop each side more evenly and explain why the examples matter.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 5.5

The response has a recognisable structure: an introduction, a paragraph for the opposing view, a paragraph explaining your preference, and a conclusion. Sequencing phrases such as “the first point,” “Furthermore,” and “In conclusion” help signal the stages of the argument. However, progression within paragraphs is sometimes unclear, and linking can feel mechanical. For example, “There are some reason that why people are agree with this argue” does not clearly introduce the points that follow, while the conclusion repeats the same online-viewing reasons rather than drawing the discussion together. Some references, such as “this” and “it,” are also unclear. Use simpler, more direct topic sentences and connect each example explicitly to its main idea.

Lexical Resource: Band 4.5

You attempt vocabulary relevant to the topic, including “economic,” “cultural,” “online portal,” and “busy schedule,” and you use some phrases to introduce examples and reasons. However, the range is limited and many spelling, word-form, and collocation errors make the writing difficult to read in places. Examples include “entrationment,” “avalable,” “relize,” and “more cheaper”; phrases such as “earning field” and “earning state” are also unnatural. Repetition of “people,” “movie,” and “online” further limits precision. Build a reliable set of topic vocabulary and check spelling and common word partnerships. Prefer accurate, natural expressions over ambitious phrases whose meaning is unclear.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 4.5

You attempt both simple statements and longer sentences with reasons, such as the sentence beginning “Furthermore, it is worth noting…” This shows an effort to connect ideas, but the range of structures remains limited and errors are frequent. Problems with agreement and verb forms appear in “people are watch” and “There are lots of online channels are available”; sentence boundaries and punctuation are also inconsistent, as in the opening fragment beginning “and other argue.” Articles and prepositions are often missing or incorrectly used, and several sentences become hard to follow as a result. Practise building accurate subject–verb–object sentences first, then add one clear subordinate clause at a time. Check each sentence for a complete main clause.
