Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 5.5

You give a clear overall position in the conclusion: “i fully agree,” and you include relevant examples involving students’ work and study choices, scholarships, overseas employment, and social media. You also acknowledge a drawback, such as stress and reduced exam preparation, which shows some consideration of the issue. However, the response only partly develops the question of whether people have too many choices: several examples describe opportunities without explaining why their number is excessive or how choice affects people more broadly. The point about government providing choices is also unclear, and the conclusion introduces skilled people leaving their countries without developing this idea earlier. Explain and support fewer points more fully, while keeping your position consistent throughout.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 5.0

The response has an opening, two main paragraphs, and a conclusion, and the examples are generally grouped around students, government, and technology. This gives it some organisation. However, the progression between ideas is difficult to follow: the discussion moves from student jobs to scholarships, overseas work, social media, illegal activities, and migration without clear links explaining how each supports your argument. Connectors such as “for instance,” “however,” and “on the other hand” are used, but some do not clearly show the relationship between the ideas that follow. Paragraphs also contain several different points, while the conclusion adds a new claim. Use a clearer sequence—one main reason per paragraph—and link each example directly to that reason.

Lexical Resource: Band 5.0

You use some topic-related vocabulary, including “critical thinking,” “scholarship,” “employment,” “stress,” and “social media,” so the reader can identify the general subject. However, the range is limited and several words or phrases are repeated, particularly “option,” “choice,” and “knowledge.” Some word choices and collocations make meaning unclear, as in “from their experience and ability of knowlege and skills” and “making their job in social media.” Spelling errors such as “inhance,” “thier,” “accouting,” and “technolgy” are also noticeable and sometimes slow the reader. Build a more precise vocabulary for discussing choice and its consequences, and check spelling and natural word combinations when editing.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.0

You attempt both simple statements and longer sentences, and the overall meaning is usually recoverable. However, the range is limited, and attempts to combine several ideas often produce faulty structures. Examples include “technology has play a vital role,” “Nowadays student has also a many option,” and “government had also plays,” where verb forms, agreement, and sentence construction are inaccurate. Articles, plurals, and punctuation are also inconsistent; for example, “a many option” and the run-on sentence beginning “in this modern time many individual…” make the text harder to read. Practise accurate subject–verb agreement and verb forms, and divide long sentences into shorter, complete units before adding more complex structures.
