IELTS Writing Task 2 question

Some people believe that nowadays we have too many choices.

To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?

Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

Student answer (Band 5.0)

In recent decade average population is pretty confident that their are many ways are available for us. They can choice different cloths, food, educational institution and lifestyle. I strongly disagree with this statement and i will support my opinion with conclusion.

I think that many choices avalable creates more difficulty instead of average choices. If we rely on too many choices the system goes to collapes. Too many choices like someone have a lot of cars, vehicle consume more fuel that may cause a major differene in country progress. For instance if someone have a lot of houses in one place is also not suitable instead we should adopt factories and industries on this land to provide empolyment to poor and needy. Instead of constructed too many houses we should planted trees on there to fulfil oxygen need in whole environment.

Some people think that having many facilities means having a wonderful lives as well. They have a lot of money, cars and cars. They think these choices play a key role in their daily life reputation as well as country reputation. People can select things according to their needs. For example students can choose many Univirsities to get admission there. Similarly people can buy products from different brands in different prices. This gives them more freedom and opportunities in every sector of their lives.

To conclude too many choices are best for the socities but it can cause social difference between rich and poor and also cause stress among people.

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 5.0

You give a clear initial position—“I strongly disagree”—and include relevant examples about consumer products, universities and access to different brands. However, the argument is only partially developed, and the conclusion shifts to saying that too many choices are “best for the societies,” which conflicts with your stated disagreement. Some examples, such as having many cars or houses, are not clearly connected to the question of whether people today have too many choices; the discussion moves instead to fuel use, land use and employment. Explain more directly how choice affects people, and develop one or two reasons with specific support. Keep your position consistent from the introduction through the conclusion.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 5.0

Your response has an introduction, two body paragraphs and a conclusion, so there is some basic organisation. You also use signposts such as “For instance,” “Similarly” and “To conclude.” However, the ideas do not progress clearly: the first body paragraph moves from choice to vehicle fuel, then houses, factories and trees, without showing how these points support your position. The second paragraph presents benefits of choice, but the relationship between this counterargument and your own view is not made clear. Some linking is repetitive or awkward, and references such as “this land” are not fully anchored. Give each paragraph one main purpose and use clear transitions to show whether an example supports or challenges your position.

Lexical Resource: Band 5.0

You use some topic-related vocabulary, including “educational institution,” “employment,” “opportunities” and “social difference,” and the reader can generally identify the subject of your response. However, the range is limited and several inaccurate word choices or spellings make parts difficult to understand, such as “choice” for “choose,” “collapes,” “differene” and “Univirsities.” Phrases such as “cars and cars” are repetitive, while “average choices” and “country reputation” do not express your intended meaning precisely. Build a more accurate set of expressions for discussing consumer choice, such as “a wider range of options,” “decision-making” and “access to opportunities,” and check spelling and collocations carefully.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.0

You attempt both simple and longer sentences, including a conditional structure in “If we rely on too many choices…” and examples introduced with “For instance.” However, the range is limited, and frequent errors in sentence construction, agreement, articles and verb forms can make meaning difficult to follow. For example, “their are many ways are available” contains an incorrect pronoun and duplicated verb, while “someone have” should use a singular verb. “We should planted trees” also has an incorrect verb form, and “a wonderful lives” has mismatched article and number. Practise building accurate sentences with one main clause and a supporting clause, then check subject–verb agreement, articles and verb forms before adding complexity.
