Student answer (Band 5.0)

In my country poeple are speaking many languages but they have to speak hindi .Living in a nation where you hsve to speak only foreign language can speak that is a serious social problem, as well as practical problems. I agree with the given statement and the reason for stand will analyze in umcoming paragraph.

To begin with, one of the primary reasons for this phenomenon is when any individual or family going to another county they have to learn that countries language so they are comfertably talking with nations public. to give an example, one of my cousin brother going natherland for short trips with her girlfriend , he is very intelligent and he also searching some details about that country and he befere going trip he learn netherland's Dutch language so he says to me they don'd getting any problem to visit there because he knows the nations language. The second benefit to speak foreing language that is we can easily get job in foreign countries .

A major argument in favour of this perspective is that the people can easily connected on social media with another countries poeple. For instance, now a days most of the poeple using social media and they post reels and share some memories on that so another country peple see that poeples lifestyle and they try to move that type of beautiful country. furthermore. the another main point is that when peopple learn a second language and another foreing language they feel very proud because they can use their skill on tourism and also they can help tp poeple.

AI examiner evaluation

Task Achievement / Task Response — Band 5.0

The response addresses the prompt but struggles with the core argument. The prompt asks about the 'social and practical problems' of living in a foreign-language environment, yet the essay shifts focus to the 'benefits' of learning a language, such as getting a job or using social media. This indicates a misunderstanding of the task requirements. While a position is stated, the development is inconsistent and often irrelevant to the specific question posed. The ideas are under-developed, and the essay fails to explore the 'serious social problems' mentioned in the prompt, instead offering a largely positive perspective on language learning.

Coherence and Cohesion — Band 5.0

The essay is organised into paragraphs, but the logical progression is weak. Transitions are often mechanical or misused, such as 'To begin with' followed by an argument that does not clearly link to the prompt. Referencing is frequently unclear; for example, the anecdote about the cousin is difficult to follow due to grammatical errors and lack of clarity. The conclusion does not effectively summarise the main points or restate the position clearly. While there is an attempt at paragraphing, the internal flow of ideas is often disjointed, making it difficult for the reader to follow the writer's line of reasoning.

Lexical Resource — Band 5.0

The vocabulary is limited and repetitive. There are frequent errors in word choice and spelling, such as 'poeple' instead of 'people', 'umcoming' for 'upcoming', and 'conclution' for 'conclusion'. The range is insufficient to express complex ideas, relying on basic phrasing. Collocations are often unnatural, such as 'talking with nations public' or 'searching some details'. The lack of precision in word choice frequently impedes the reader's understanding, and the spelling errors are pervasive throughout the text, which significantly lowers the overall quality of the lexical expression.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy — Band 5.0

The essay contains a high frequency of grammatical errors that often cause confusion. Sentence structures are frequently fragmented or run-on, such as 'Living in a nation where you hsve to speak only foreign language can speak that is a serious social problem'. There are consistent errors in subject-verb agreement, article usage, and tense consistency (e.g., 'he is very intelligent and he also searching'). While there is an attempt to use complex sentences, these are often poorly constructed and contain multiple errors. The punctuation is also inconsistent, which further complicates the readability of the text.
