Due to technology enhancement living in country where people have speak in foreign language. It may not serious problem because they easily speak in language using of technology as well as learn anything. I partly disagree with this statement because learning new language may hard but using of new gadgets of learning how to solved practical problem. It is easy but in some case social problem may lead problems.
To commence with, people use new technology in learning any foreign language. It may easy for them because new gadgets may helpful for translating in any language. It may provide lesson basis on your particular language. Also, in learning time student may easily grasp knowledge of any language and they are easily speak in any language and learn in that particular language. For instance, many Indian students are studying in many foreign country. Also they are easily communicated with their local people.
Moreover, they face problem related their social life.

Also, they may not accept their culture or understanding of people mindset. For example, many foreign student may face problem of loneliness or do not find comfortable place there.
To sum up, case of learning is easy because of technology. They may easily get knowledge or clear their doubt. Although case of social problem it may lead because they do not find their own culture or rituals.

Task Achievement / Task Response — Band 6.0
The response addresses the prompt by discussing both the practical and social aspects of living in a foreign country. However, the position is somewhat unclear; while you state you 'partly disagree,' the development of ideas is limited. The arguments regarding technology are repetitive, and the social problems mentioned (loneliness, cultural differences) are underdeveloped. To improve, you should provide more specific examples and ensure that each paragraph clearly supports your overall stance. The ideas are relevant but lack the depth required for a higher band score.
Coherence and Cohesion — Band 6.0
The essay is organised into paragraphs, which helps the reader follow the structure. However, the use of cohesive devices is often mechanical or inaccurate. For example, 'To commence with' and 'To sum up' are used, but the internal flow between sentences is frequently disrupted by grammatical errors and awkward phrasing. Referencing is sometimes unclear, making it difficult to track the logical progression of your arguments. Improving the use of transition words and ensuring that each sentence logically follows the previous one will significantly enhance the coherence of your writing.
Lexical Resource — Band 5.5
The vocabulary is limited and repetitive, often relying on basic terms like 'problem,' 'easy,' and 'language.' There are instances of incorrect word choice, such as 'lesson basis' instead of 'lessons based on' and 'people mindset' instead of 'people's mindsets.' While the meaning is generally conveyed, the range is not sufficient to demonstrate flexibility or precision. To reach a higher band, you should focus on using more varied vocabulary, including collocations and less common words, and ensure that words are used in their correct grammatical form.
Grammatical Range and Accuracy — Band 5.5
The essay contains frequent grammatical errors that occasionally impede communication. There are consistent issues with subject-verb agreement (e.g., 'people have speak'), missing articles, and incorrect sentence structures (e.g., 'It may not serious problem'). The range of structures is limited, with a heavy reliance on simple sentences. Complex structures are attempted but are often faulty, such as 'using of new gadgets of learning how to solved practical problem.' To improve, focus on mastering basic sentence construction, verb tenses, and the correct use of prepositions.
