Nowadays, almost people learning foreign language because of if they would like to travel out side of their own country is mandetory to communicate in foreign language. Not only this if any person have good expriance in any specefic field they can earn more money of they work in foreign companies.

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 5.5

You address both views: the second body paragraph gives reasons beyond travel and work, including education, communication, and research, while the first explains travel and employment. Your opinion is also present, particularly in “In my opine, learnig foreign it is positive development.” However, the position is not consistently clear: the opening says there are “plenty of reason” to learn languages, but the conclusion repeats that language learning is positive without directly weighing the two views. Several ideas remain general or unclear, such as how language knowledge helps students access education or researchers use books. Develop one or two examples more fully and state explicitly why you believe the broader benefits matter.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 5.0

The response has an identifiable introduction, two body paragraphs, and a conclusion, and “However” signals a shift to the other view. This gives the reader some organisation. However, progression within paragraphs is often difficult to follow, and links between ideas can feel mechanical. For example, the first body paragraph moves from travel to employment and then to English-speaking companies without clearly separating or explaining these points. Phrases such as “Not only this” and “For instance” do not always make the relationship between claims clear. The final paragraph largely repeats the opinion rather than drawing the discussion together. Use clearer topic sentences, develop each point in a logical sequence, and make references such as “these” explicit.

Lexical Resource: Band 4.5

You attempt vocabulary relevant to the topic, including “global language,” “foreign companies,” “researchers,” and “communicate,” and you try to express ideas about education and employment. However, the range is limited and many spelling and word-choice errors make parts of the response difficult to understand, for example “trand,” “benifitioal,” “planty,” and “knowladge.” Some combinations are also unnatural, such as “learning education in english medium” and “increase the knowledge.” Repeated use of “global language” and “plenty of benefits” limits precision. Build a reliable set of topic vocabulary and check spelling and collocations; for example, use “study in English” and “broaden one’s knowledge” where appropriate.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 4.5

You attempt both simple and longer sentence forms, including a conditional idea in “if they would like to travel” and a relative clause beginning “a person, who know english.” However, complex sentences are often faulty, and errors in verb forms, agreement, articles, and sentence construction frequently make the meaning hard to follow. Examples include “almost people learning,” “if any person have,” and “Learning english … it have planty of benifits.” The final sentence, “if any persone multiple language which is tough in other country,” is especially difficult to interpret. Practise building accurate basic sentences first, then add subordinate clauses with correct subject–verb agreement and verb forms. Review punctuation and avoid joining several ideas into one sentence.
