Student answer (Band 6.0)

In this contemporary epoch, any individual is indentified and recongnised by thier behiavour and perosnality among the society. Some people emphasize that the person's habits and their opinions get changed as they passes different stages of their life. I strongly agree with the given statement, believes that human are learning something new and different in their entire lifespam and that is what lead to enhance and modify their toughts at different stages. This essay will elucidate the reason for my viewpoints.

Beginning with the former view, Humans are considered to be the most intellegient and advanced creatures among all the living beings on the planet. They have ability to to learn from the everything and adapt that learning in their day to day life. That how, they have evalutated from the money to man by learning and uitlizing those learning. When a child take a first step out their house and meet new people and make new friend they learn from them and try to adapt in their lifestyle and this happen on every stage of the life which leads to the changes in their regular habits and opinions time to time.This is what we call is getting more maturity and development in their behaviour. For example, any person taking a major decision like buying house, car or getting married, everytime they disscuss it with their parents and relatives who are seinor to them and try to get proper opinion, as they have already livied that stage of thier life.

Moreover, from the childhood to old age the habit of any person also get changed because this age difference and the amout work that can be during the respective age. As the body of a child is more active then the middle age, whereas middle aged body would be more active then than the older one and because this natrual body effect some of the habits get changes time to time at different stages of life. For instance, A child who used to run 10km in day, once reaches to older age of his life hardly can rum 2km. This is because of the body is getting old and weak and it loosing the strength that the reason they have change their habit. Futhermore, scoiety and surrounding also plays an vital roles in anyones habitual and opinions.

In the conculsion, Although, the habit and opinions of the individuals does changes from time to time at different stages of thier life. But this only the reason what brings the modernization and upliftment in the society. Adapting and changing are in the human nature, they learn, adapt it and enhance it for the future generation.

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 6.5

Your position is clear from the introduction: you strongly agree that people’s habits and opinions change as they age. You address both opinions and habits, and the examples about seeking relatives’ advice before major decisions and an older person’s reduced ability to run are relevant. This meets the task well. However, the explanation of how opinions change is more developed than the discussion of habits, which relies mainly on physical ageing; the point about society and surroundings is introduced but not explained. Some claims, such as people learning from everyone they meet, are broad rather than specifically supported. To strengthen the response further, develop the social influences you mention and connect each example more explicitly to changes in both habits and opinions.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 6.0

The essay has a recognisable structure, with an introduction, two body paragraphs and a conclusion, and the ideas generally progress from learning and maturity to physical changes with age. Linking phrases such as “Moreover,” “For instance,” and “In the conclusion” help signal stages of the argument. However, some connections feel mechanical, and the long first body paragraph combines several points without clear separation. The sentence beginning “Futhermore, scoiety and surrounding…” is added at the end of the second paragraph but is not developed, so its relationship to the example is unclear. Improve cohesion by grouping each main reason with its explanation and example, and use clearer references so readers can easily identify what “this” or “that” refers to.

Lexical Resource: Band 5.5

You attempt a range of vocabulary relevant to the topic, including “adapt,” “maturity,” “development,” “stages,” and “modernization.” These choices allow you to discuss learning and change, but control is uneven: several misspellings and inaccurate or unnatural expressions make the writing less clear, such as “intellegient,” “uitlizing,” “livied,” and “habitual and opinions.” Some phrases are also imprecise or awkward, including “evaluated from the money to man” and “the amount work.” Aim for accurate, natural collocations rather than using elevated wording where the meaning is uncertain. Proofread spelling carefully and choose direct expressions such as “human development” or “people’s habits and opinions” when they communicate your point more precisely.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.0

You attempt both simple and complex sentence forms, including clauses introduced by “because,” “when,” and “whereas,” and the overall meaning is usually recoverable. However, errors in agreement, verb forms, articles and sentence construction are frequent enough to make some sentences difficult to follow. For example, “as they passes” should use a plural verb, while “the habit … also get changed” has a subject–verb agreement problem. The opening sentence of the first body paragraph also contains a repeated “to” and an unclear construction. Several sentences run together, particularly around “time to time.This,” so punctuation and sentence boundaries need attention. Practise checking one sentence at a time for a clear subject, correctly formed verb and complete clause.
