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 6.0)
Nowadays, it is largely debated among individuals that broad varity of products are now available in the market, therefore people have too many choices. I strongly agree with this statement since the world is now more socialy connected and everyone has access to the global market. In this essay, I will explain the reasons why I believe that nowadays people have to choose from large poll of goods.
Firstly, in modern era everyone has social media access and their feed shows them variety of products which came from different countries, in addition each person shows their own tradition and culture on streaming platforms which appealed especially the youngsters so they want to buy them. Therefore, by taking youth's arguments serious, business persons try to catch the moment and either order these products in bulk from abroad or manufacture these items by ourselves and launched them in the market. Additionaly, when people visit the market they saw the products from different countries and they showed their varity of interests.
Secondly, nowadays transportation of goods is easy as compared to past when the transportation process takes weeks to months and other beaurocretic policies also make it difficult, since the process is quite straight-forward many people starting doing it and ordered different kind of products from different vendors and sell them. Moreover, E-commerce is an another reaon why people now have too many choices as all the stores showed their products on their online stores and when people saw them they feel difficult to choose from wide range of products.
In conclusion, from my perspective technological advancement is the reason why people have too many choices nowadays. It also has several advantages as people are now able to know and practice different cultures.

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 6.0
Your position is clear from the introduction: you strongly agree that people now face too many choices, and the conclusion returns to technological advancement as the main cause. The discussion of social media, international products, transport and online stores is relevant and addresses the question. However, some points are asserted rather than fully explained. For example, the link between young people seeing other cultures online and businesses offering more products could be illustrated with a specific example. The second paragraph also focuses on how goods reach markets, but could explain more directly how this creates difficulty or overload for consumers. Develop each reason with a clear explanation and a concrete example to make the response more complete.
Coherence and Cohesion: Band 6.0
The response has a clear overall structure: an introduction, two body paragraphs presenting reasons, and a conclusion. The sequence from social media and cultural influence to transport and e-commerce is generally easy to follow, and signposts such as “Firstly,” “Secondly,” and “In conclusion” help identify the stages of the argument. At times, however, connections are mechanical or unclear. The long first body paragraph combines social media, cultural traditions, business decisions and market variety without clearly separating the steps in the reasoning. “Therefore” and “Moreover” also do not always make the relationship between ideas precise. Use clearer topic sentences and link each example explicitly to the claim that consumers face an excessive range of choices.
Lexical Resource: Band 5.5
You use a relevant range of vocabulary, including “global market,” “streaming platforms,” “transportation,” “vendors” and “technological advancement.” These terms help communicate the topic, and the meaning is generally understandable. However, spelling errors and imprecise or unnatural word combinations reduce accuracy, as in “broad varity,” “socialy connected,” “large poll of goods” and “transportation process.” Some wording is also repetitive, particularly repeated references to products and choices. Aim to use common collocations accurately and check spelling carefully. More precise expressions would also help distinguish between the availability of many products and the difficulty consumers may experience when choosing among them.
Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.5
You attempt both simple and complex sentences, including clauses introduced by “since,” “when” and “as,” and the overall meaning can usually be followed. Some grammatical errors remain, particularly in verb forms, agreement and articles. For example, “when people visit the market they saw” shifts from present to past, while “many people starting doing it” needs a finite verb form. In “all the stores showed their products … and when people saw them they feel difficult,” the tense changes make the sequence harder to follow. Article use is also inaccurate in “an another reason.” Review tense consistency and sentence boundaries, and proofread longer sentences so that each clause has a clear subject and correctly formed verb.
