On the one hand some people beleive that we have many choices to choose everthing. couple of year ago their was that time faced people when they was no choice to selection for those selves. yet, now we have greener pastures to choose whatever we want. for example, we have to choose our study, skills, home design, eat, pasions, professions, dreams, cars, jobs and so on. now and then people are confusing around so, many choices.

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 5.5

You address the topic and give a personal position: you agree that people now have many choices, while noting that this can make decisions confusing. The examples of choosing studies, careers and other aspects of life are relevant, and the account of deciding on a business career adds personal support. However, the position is not consistently clear: the opening says “let’s discuss this topic,” and the conclusion only briefly repeats that there are many choices. The response also gives limited explanation of why having more options is beneficial or harmful. Develop one or two reasons in more depth, and make your degree of agreement explicit from the introduction through to the conclusion. This would make the response address the question more fully and support its ideas more clearly.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 5.0

The response has an introduction, a paragraph presenting the general situation, a personal example, and a short conclusion, so there is some organisation. The personal story about considering a career provides a recognisable sequence from uncertainty to a decision. However, the overall progression is difficult to follow because ideas are crowded together and links are often mechanical or unclear. For example, “On the one hand” is not followed by a contrasting “on the other hand,” and “Nevertheless” does not clearly connect to the point that follows. Several ideas, including the list of choices and the career example, would be clearer in separate, focused paragraphs. Use linking expressions only when their relationship is accurate, and make each paragraph develop one main point.

Lexical Resource: Band 5.0

You attempt a range of topic-related vocabulary, including “alternative,” “opinions,” “career,” and “professions,” and the reader can generally identify your main subject. However, the vocabulary is limited and repeated, especially around “choices,” “choose,” and “many.” Several word choices or combinations are inaccurate or unclear, such as “choices to choose everything,” “greener pastures to choose,” and “choose only mare is hard.” Spelling errors such as “beleive,” “everthing,” and “bussiness” also make the writing less clear and reduce control. Build a more precise set of expressions for discussing decisions, such as “a wide range of options” and “make an informed decision,” and check spelling and collocations when editing.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.0

You attempt both simple and longer sentences, including a personal narrative and clauses introduced by “although” and “however.” This shows an effort to vary sentence forms, but many structures are faulty, and errors sometimes make the meaning difficult to follow. Examples include “a couple of year ago their was that time,” “when they was no choice,” and “I still stuck on one thing,” which show problems with verb forms, agreement, and sentence construction. There are also frequent issues with articles, plurals, and punctuation, such as the run-on sequence “I had lot of alternative people give me their opinions.” Practise building accurate simple sentences first, then combine them with one clear subordinate clause. Check tense consistency and subject–verb agreement during revision.
