IELTS Writing Task 2 question

Some people like to try new things, for example, places to visit and types of food. Other people prefer to keep doing things they are familiar with.

Discuss both these attitudes and give your own opinion.

Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

 

Student answer (Band 6.0)

A number of people like to try different things in daily life. However others follow the same routine like everyday. None of them is wrong at their place but I would say moderation in everything holds a value.

On one hand, experiencing varity of chores is a choice of many individuals. They like to explore different food, visit places that they never see before. Such people love to spend their vacations at unfamiliar spots every year. Some go far from their own region to taste food of other locations. For instance, huge number of citizens of European nations come to India to try different cuisines. Theses days, there are big numbers of travel vlogers who go out with the goal to explore the whole world atleast once in a life time.

On the other hand, there exist the public of opposite kind who do not want any hassle of trying dissimilar stuff in their daily life. They do lunch at same food stall even eat identical items. They might not like to disturb their taste buds but also unlikely to look at different scenes by going through other new roads and do not have any problem in following routine. Instead of spending on different coffee types at starbucks, for example, most of the south asian people like to being stuck at buying steap tea on daily basis.

In my opinion, every human being has a non-identical behaviour and way of life and must be respected. Both type of groups beautify this world. The routines and choices sometime depends on circumstances, like-dislikes and natures. I feel one must try to live every thing and should not miss a chance to go through diversity.

To conclude, It all depends on individual likings but every personal choice must be respected. Exploration is a great idea to follow.

AI examiner evaluation

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 6.0

You address both attitudes and give a clear personal view: you value respecting individual preferences while also encouraging people to experience diversity. The two main body paragraphs are relevant, with examples such as visitors travelling to India for food and people returning to the same food stall. However, some points are asserted rather than explained. For example, the claim that both groups “beautify this world” does not show why their different habits are beneficial, and the final recommendation to “try to live every thing” is not reconciled with your emphasis on respecting personal choice. Develop the reasons behind each attitude and clarify how your balanced opinion applies in practice; this would make the response more fully developed.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 6.5

The response has a clear overall arrangement: an introduction, separate paragraphs for the two attitudes, your opinion, and a conclusion. Signposts such as “On one hand,” “On the other hand,” and “To conclude” make the progression easy to follow, and the examples generally sit with the relevant viewpoint. This meets the lower-band expectation of coherent organisation and shows some stronger control through paragraphing and a logical sequence. To make the flow more consistently smooth, reduce formulaic transitions and strengthen links between claims and explanations. For instance, the shift from respecting different choices to saying everyone “should not miss a chance” to experience diversity needs a clearer connection. Some references, such as “They” and “Such people,” could also be made more precise.

Lexical Resource: Band 5.5

You use a range of topic-related vocabulary, including “routine,” “unfamiliar spots,” “cuisines,” “diversity,” and “individual likings,” so the meaning is generally understandable. There are also attempts to use less common expressions, but several choices are inaccurate or unnatural and sometimes make the reader pause: “experiencing varity of chores” does not fit the intended meaning, while “do not want any hassle of trying dissimilar stuff” and “being stuck at buying” are awkward collocations. Spelling errors such as “vlogers,” “steap,” and “atleast” are noticeable. Aim for precise, natural phrases and check spelling; this will improve clarity and show more reliable control of vocabulary.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.5

You attempt both simple and more complex sentence forms, including the contrast between the two groups and the example introduced by “Instead of.” Most ideas remain understandable, but some grammatical errors occur across the response. For example, “However others follow the same routine like everyday” has an incomplete comparison, and “They do lunch at same food stall” is missing an article and uses an unsuitable verb pattern. In “every human being has a non-identical behaviour,” the singular subject and the following plural idea are not handled clearly. Review articles, verb patterns, agreement, and sentence boundaries, and proofread punctuation and capitalisation. More accurate control of these structures would make your varied sentences easier to read.
