Task Achievement / Task Response — Band 6.0
The response addresses both parts of the prompt: benefits for employees and advantages for companies. The ideas are relevant, such as financial gain and skill acquisition for employees, and loyalty and expertise for companies. However, the development is somewhat superficial. The example of Sundar Pichai is a good attempt at support, but the explanation of how his move specifically led to 'billions of profit' is vague and lacks depth. To reach a higher band, you should expand on your points with more detailed explanations or concrete evidence rather than relying on general statements. The position is clear throughout, but the overall development of ideas remains at a basic level.
Coherence and Cohesion — Band 6.0
The essay is organized into logical paragraphs, each with a clear focus. You use some cohesive devices like 'In addition,' 'On the other hand,' and 'Moreover' to link ideas. However, the use of these devices is sometimes mechanical or slightly awkward, such as the opening sentence structure 'Not only, this bring... but also, Organizations members...'. The referencing is occasionally unclear, and the flow between sentences could be smoother. While the paragraphing is appropriate, the internal cohesion within paragraphs needs more variety and precision to move beyond a Band 6 level.
Lexical Resource — Band 5.5
You demonstrate an adequate range of vocabulary for the task, using terms like 'globalization,' 'advancement,' and 'potential.' However, there are noticeable errors in word choice and collocation that occasionally impede the flow, such as 'grab more career growth' (instead of 'achieve' or 'pursue') and 'lifetime support and loyal work by them.' Some phrasing is repetitive, and the vocabulary lacks the sophistication required for higher bands. To improve, focus on using more precise collocations and avoiding awkward phrasing that sounds like a direct translation from another language.
Grammatical Range and Accuracy — Band 5.5
The essay contains a mix of simple and complex sentence structures. However, there are frequent grammatical errors that affect the clarity of your writing. Examples include subject-verb agreement issues ('this bring workers,' 'Industry also benefit'), missing articles ('move abroad by them'), and awkward sentence construction ('Not to mention employee get greater benefits'). While the meaning is generally understandable, these persistent errors in basic grammar and punctuation prevent the essay from reaching a higher band. You should focus on proofreading for subject-verb agreement and article usage to improve your accuracy.
