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

Student answer (Band 6.0)

Many individuals argued that in this contemporary era we now have wide range of options as compared to past. From my perspective due to advancement in technology it is more convenient for individuals to take decisions such as they can chose their career, more educational opportunities, because of different choices businesses improves and they can cheaper but good quality products now.

It is believed by some people that a rapid increase of technology make lives more easier, we have more opportunities now. In past individuals have minimum choices to chose their career from selective professions such as, doctor, engineer teacher and scientist but now they can chose their career according to their interest such as new jobs in AI automation. Students now have various universities and colleges to chose the courses according to their prefrences and their financial conditions. To illustrates this, students can avail the opportunity to study online if they are belonging to disadvantaged family and working part time. Consequently, they can continue their study with their jobs.

Furthermore, people usually buy products from local market and have limited access to buy products but now they can buy it from different stores according to their prefrences and cost, they can chose cheaper products and save money. Another significant advantage of this is businesses improved over time because individuals have more choices now and they can buy products with good quality. For instance, a mobile phone company add new features related to camera, battery and fastest speed of internet, it encouraged other companies, they will also improve their products because individuals have more choices now, so this improves businesses.

To conclude this, I agree with this statement that people have more opportunity now to chose their career according to their prefrences as well as they have more opportunity in education to to select their courses according to their abilities, it also improves businesses and individuals can now buy cheaper products with good quality.

AI examiner evaluation

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 6.0

Your position is clear: you agree that people have more choices today, and you address careers, education, and consumer products. The examples of online study for students with financial constraints and competition between phone companies help make the discussion relevant. This fits the criterion because the main ideas support your view, but some are more fully explained than others. For example, the career paragraph lists new professions and educational options, while the claim that businesses have improved is repeated more than it is explored. The response would be stronger if you explained more precisely how having many choices benefits people overall, while also considering whether too many options can create difficulties, as the question invites you to assess the extent of agreement.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 6.0

The response has a clear overall structure: an introduction, two body paragraphs developing different areas, and a conclusion that restates your position. Linking expressions such as “Furthermore,” “For instance,” and “To conclude” help readers follow the main stages. However, some connections are mechanical or unclear. The first body paragraph moves from career choices to university options and then online study without fully showing how each point develops the previous one. In the second, the relationship between consumer choice and business improvement is repeated rather than progressively explained. Use clearer topic sentences and refer back to the specific idea being developed; this would make the progression smoother and reduce repetition.

Lexical Resource: Band 5.5

You use vocabulary relevant to the topic, including “educational opportunities,” “disadvantaged family,” “financial conditions,” and “features,” so your meaning is generally understandable. There are also attempts to express more specific ideas, such as “AI automation” and “limited access.” However, the range is not consistently precise, and several word-choice, spelling, and collocation errors reduce naturalness. Examples include “wide range of options” without an article, “chose” where the present-tense verb is intended, “prefrences,” and “fastest speed of internet.” Repeated use of “choices,” “opportunity,” and “products” also limits variety. Build a bank of accurate topic collocations and check spelling and word forms when editing.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.5

You attempt both simple and more complex sentence forms, including clauses introduced by “because,” “if,” and “such as,” and the overall meaning remains clear. Some sentences are controlled, for example, “Consequently, they can continue their study with their jobs.” However, errors in agreement, articles, verb forms, and sentence construction occur in several places. For instance, “a rapid increase of technology make lives more easier” has problems with agreement and comparative form, while “a mobile phone company add new features” does not maintain correct subject–verb agreement. The opening sentence also joins several ideas in a way that makes its structure difficult to follow. Review agreement and verb forms, and divide long sentences so each one expresses a clear relationship between ideas.
