IELTS Writing Task 2 question
In some countries owning a home rather than renting one is very important for people. Why might this be the case? Do you think this is a positive or negative situation?
Student answer (Band 5.0)
In some countires owning a home rather than renting one is very important for people. This is because people want to fully access for changing their home and banks give many loan for buy thier own home. I believe that this is a positive situation, because by this opportunity people can take fully their home access.
The primary reason to support this initiative that nowatime, many banks provide home loan with just little taxi. For example, the governments suggest the different banks that they home loan system, then people can buy their own home, addidionally, so many ;people think that they have great opportunities to get a home loan in the banks. Therefore, people prefer that buy a own house rather than rent.
The Second motive to favor this stance is that many people want to upgrade their home and they want to something changes in their home, but in rent home you need to permission before any changes. For instance, a lots of people want to follow the trend and want become a famous person, they prefer to upgrade and many changes their life styles including their clothes, foods and home. Moreover, if people want to sale their home or need the money then they can sale their home and reach the money. As a results, many people like to owning a home rather than renting.
In conclusion, No doubt, it is a positive situation, becasue by this opportunities like banks loan, they can change their life and become a home owner.

Task Achievement / Task Response — Band 5.5
The response addresses all parts of the task by explaining why home ownership is important and offering a clear opinion that this is a positive situation. Ideas are presented, such as financial loans and the freedom to renovate, but they lack full development and generalise broadly. For example, the statement that 'banks give many loan for buy thier own home' touches upon a valid reason, but the supporting arguments remain somewhat repetitive and basic. The position is clear throughout, aligning with the requirements for Band 6.
Coherence and Cohesion — Band 5.0
The essay displays a coherent overall arrangement with a clear paragraph structure, including an introduction, two body paragraphs, and a conclusion. However, cohesion is frequently mechanical and faulty. Phrases like 'The primary reason to support this initiative that nowatime...' and 'The Second motive to favor this stance...' are rigid. Referencing and logical progression occasionally break down due to phrasing issues, such as 'additionallly, so many ;people think...', which places this criterion at a Band 5.5, rounded to a 5.0 for overall mechanical cohesion flaws.
Lexical Resource — Band 5.0
The vocabulary used is limited and repetitive, with frequent word-choice errors and spelling mistakes such as 'countires', 'taxi' instead of 'taxes/terms', 'addidionally', and 'sale' instead of 'sell'. While the student attempts less common vocabulary like 'initiative' and 'life styles', the inaccurate collocations ('take fully their home access', 'reach the money') impede smooth reading and clearly reflect the descriptors for Band 5.
Grammatical Range and Accuracy — Band 5.0
The essay uses a mix of simple and complex sentence forms, but grammatical control is weak. There are frequent errors in verb forms, prepositions, and article usage, such as 'for changing their home', 'for buy thier own home', and 'in rent home you need to permission'. Punctuation is also flawed, as seen with the semicolon misuse in the second paragraph. These errors cause occasional difficulty for the reader, placing the grammar at a Band 5.
