Student answer (Band 6.5)

The importance of keeping your home and work space tidy.

In my opinion keeping our home and work space tidy is very important beacuse our surroundings gave a very strong impact on our mood, productivity and mental health. A clean and organised environment helps us feel relaxed, more motivated,focused and more motivated to complete our daily tast.

Personally, i believe that a tidy homes create a peaceful atmosphere , especially for families with children.when everything is organised and has its proper place, it is easier to manage household chores, responsibilities and save time.Similarly, keeping a work space clean makes you more focused and help people concentrate better and work more efficiently.

Recently, I experience this in my own daily routine.As I manage household responsibilities, take care of my children, and also work from home as a dietitian, sometimes things can become quite messy. I noticed that whenever my working area is clean and organised.I feel more productive and can focus on preparing diet plans and communicating with clients.On the other hand, when my surroundings are untidy, I easily become distracted and sometimes feel stressed.

I have also learned that we do not need to spend hours on cleaning every day.Even small habits, such asputting things back in their places, organising our desks and cleaning regularly,can make a big difference.

To conclude, I strongly believe that a tidy home and workspace contritbute to healthier,happier and more productive lifestyle which is great not just for our physical health but also for our mental health.

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 7.0

Your position is clear from the opening and maintained through the conclusion: you believe tidy homes and workplaces support mood, productivity and mental health. You address both settings and give relevant support, especially the personal example of balancing childcare, household duties and dietitian work from home. The contrast between a clean workspace, where you can prepare plans and communicate with clients, and an untidy one, where you feel distracted, makes the argument convincing. The practical point about small daily habits also adds useful support. To develop the response further, explain more fully how tidiness benefits family life or workplace performance, rather than relying mainly on broad claims such as “healthier, happier and more productive.” Overall, the task is addressed clearly and the ideas are extended with relevant examples.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 6.5

The response has a clear overall progression: it states your opinion, discusses home and work, gives a personal example, offers practical habits, and concludes by restating your view. Paragraphing generally supports this structure, and links such as “Similarly,” “On the other hand,” and “To conclude” help readers follow the argument. This is a coherent arrangement, though some connections are mechanical or unclear. For example, “Personally, i believe” begins a paragraph that shifts between home and work without a clear transition, while the personal example could be more explicitly linked to the earlier claims. Improve cohesion by using references such as “This routine” or “Such organisation” to connect ideas, and ensure each paragraph develops one main point.

Lexical Resource: Band 6.0

You use an adequate range of relevant vocabulary, including “organised environment,” “household responsibilities,” “productive,” “distracted,” and “communicating with clients.” These choices make your meaning clear and suit the topic. There are also attempts at more specific expressions, such as “preparing diet plans,” although some wording is repetitive: “more motivated” appears twice in the opening, and “clean,” “tidy,” and “organised” recur frequently. A few spelling and word-form slips, including “beacuse,” “tast,” and “contritbute,” reduce accuracy, while phrases such as “a very strong impact” and “a big difference” could be more precise. Build variety through accurate collocations and check spelling carefully; this would make the vocabulary more flexible without changing your clear message.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 6.0

You use a mix of simple and complex sentence forms, including the conditional structure “when my working area is clean and organised, I feel more productive” and the contrast introduced by “On the other hand.” Most ideas remain understandable, but some grammatical and punctuation errors occur. For example, “a tidy homes create” has disagreement, “makes you more focused and help people” shifts agreement, and “a healthier, happier and more productive lifestyle” needs an article. Sentence boundaries are also sometimes faulty: “I noticed that whenever my working area is clean and organised.I feel…” should be joined or punctuated correctly. Review subject–verb agreement, articles, capitalisation of “I,” and sentence boundaries. More consistently accurate complex sentences would strengthen control.
