Student answer (Band 5.0)

In several areas of usa curfew is imposed, for some reasons in which going out of childrens is not safe untill they have their parents with them i will give my opinion about this given statement.

As we know curfew is enforce by authourity , because this is safe for us many times when something is awful is happening in the cities and and countries so the Governoment allows to curfew in some areas to protect the citizens from war or any other danger.

When the restriction is set from the councils, it is better to aviod going outside and even we do not let our kids to go outside for example few months ago indian goveronment set a time limit for their public thats dont come out your houses because on that day some ellection are going on so roads were busy and so everywhere there were a crowd of youngster which is full out of mind just doing their enjoyment for the won of their party so didnot care about the others people and road user as well thay blocked the roads and doing open fire by guns that was risk to others safety

According to my prespective, my opinion is that if the policy makers makes a rule for us for folks something is exceptional for us they want to protect us from harmful people while the protesting or something going on in the city and if our teenager wants to go outside for some crucial works we should give them our company or we have to go with them because if they go alone there is risk of life of our childrens

conclusion, in the world everyehere is this happening some cufew occure so we have to think first about our family and kids however we have to avoid going outside as well.

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 5.0

You give a recognisable opinion: teenagers should avoid going out during dangerous situations, and adults should accompany them if they have an important reason to leave. The example about election-related crowds and violence is relevant and helps explain your concern for safety. However, the response only partly addresses the specific issue of a curfew for teenagers: much of the discussion shifts to emergency curfews imposed on the general public, and it does not clearly weigh whether a routine restriction on teenagers is justified. Your position also becomes difficult to follow in places, such as “if the policy makers makes a rule for us for folks something is exceptional.” Develop a clearer view of teen curfews and support it with reasons focused on teenagers’ safety, freedom, or responsibility.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 5.0

The response has an introduction, supporting paragraphs, and a conclusion, and the ideas generally relate to public safety. The election example gives the middle section a concrete focus. However, progression is not consistently clear: the opening moves from teenagers to curfews generally, and the example then takes up much of the response without clearly linking back to the specific policy in the question. Connect each paragraph to one main point and explain the link between the example and your opinion. Some linking phrases, including “As we know,” “According to my perspective,” and “conclusion,” feel mechanical or do not clearly signal the relationship between ideas. Use clearer references and transitions, and divide the long example into shorter sentences so readers can follow the sequence of events.

Lexical Resource: Band 4.5

You use some topic-related vocabulary, including “curfew,” “restriction,” “policy makers,” “protesting,” and “risk of life,” which shows an attempt to discuss rules and safety. However, the range is limited and several inaccurate or misspelled expressions make parts difficult to understand, such as “going out of childrens,” “full out of mind,” and “open fire by guns.” Spelling errors such as “authourity,” “goveronment,” and “cufew” also reduce clarity. Aim for precise, natural collocations and check spelling carefully. For example, describe people as “acting recklessly,” say that they “opened fire,” and refer to “teenagers going out” rather than “going out of childrens.”

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 4.5

You attempt longer sentences and use clauses to explain reasons, as in “because this is safe for us many times when something is awful is happening.” However, complex sentences are often faulty, and frequent errors in sentence structure, verb forms, agreement, articles, and punctuation make the meaning hard to follow. Examples include “curfew is enforce,” “the policy makers makes,” and “some election are going on.” Several sentences run together without clear punctuation, particularly the long account of the election and crowds. Practise building accurate simple sentences first, then combine them with one clear subordinate clause. Check subject–verb agreement and verb forms, and use full stops to separate complete ideas.
