Similarly, some people believed that advertising is very beneficil way to buy anything, On the other hand some people believed that advertising is so common so that's why we cannot give attention their.

The primary reason why I agree form this statement that advertising tells us about our products and services which we want to buy. For instance, when we desired to buying any thing we cannot touch own products and we cannot see them but when we see related it advertising it gives us much help so that's why I agree from firmly.And advertising hepls us in different steps like hotel, cafe, shopping malls, and other this kind of things so firstly we choose thing which we like and then we see review about it because review tell us our products.

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 5.0

You address both views and give a personal position, particularly by saying advertising helps customers learn about products and by noting that misleading adverts can lead to disappointment. These points are relevant, but the discussion is only partially developed: the first view is supported mainly by a general example about seeing product information, while the opposing view is illustrated briefly through receiving a different or harmful product. Your position is also not fully consistent: the opening presents both views, but the body says “I agree” without clearly identifying which view you support, and the conclusion repeats that advertising is helpful without weighing the two arguments. State your opinion clearly and explain each view with a specific, developed example.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 5.0

The response has a recognisable introduction, two body paragraphs and a conclusion, and the paragraphs broadly correspond to the two views. However, progression within paragraphs is often difficult to follow because ideas are joined mechanically or without clear links. For example, “And advertising helps us in different steps like hotel, cafe, shopping malls” does not clearly connect to the preceding point about product information. Linking phrases such as “On the other hand” and “For example” are attempted, but some are inaccurate or do not establish the intended relationship. The conclusion also begins with several overlapping signals—“In conclusion,” “in my perspective” and “in my opinion.” Organise each paragraph around one main claim, then explain and illustrate it in a clear sequence.

Lexical Resource: Band 4.5

You attempt vocabulary relevant to the topic, including “products and services,” “advertising systems,” “customers” and “reviews.” However, the range is limited and many word choices, forms and spellings are inaccurate, sometimes making the intended meaning hard to understand. Examples include “greatful step,” “beneficil way,” “slightly coonfusion,” and “detrimental object”; these do not express the ideas naturally or precisely. Repetition of “advertising,” “buy anything” and “products” also limits flexibility. Build a reliable set of topic collocations, such as “influence purchasing decisions,” “provide product information” and “misleading advertisement,” and check spelling and word forms. More precise vocabulary would make your arguments clearer and more convincing.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 4.5

You attempt both simple and longer sentences, including clauses introduced by “because,” “when” and “which.” However, the range is limited, and complex sentences are often faulty; errors occur frequently and can make relationships between ideas difficult to follow. For example, “when we desired to buying any thing” has an incorrect verb pattern, while “it take much time and it do not help us” has problems with tense and subject–verb agreement. Articles, plurals and sentence boundaries are also inconsistent, as in “it gives informations to customers.” Practise accurate basic sentence patterns first, then add subordinate clauses. Pay particular attention to verb forms after “to,” agreement, articles and punctuation between independent clauses.
