IELTS Writing Task 2 question

Some people say it is important to keep your home and your workplace tidy, with everything organised and in the correct place.

What is your opinion about this?

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

 

Student answer (Band 7.0)

In my opinion, I highly agree with the statement that people should keep their home and workplace nice and tidy. The rationale behind this is that it is easier for any individual to work efficiently if everything is organized and kept in the correct place. An example from my work can clearly explain my thinking behind this. I work in a fast paced environment as a warehouse supervisor. My job is to make sure that the floor is organized to ensure smoothness in operations. For this, I have kept a separate place for inbounding trucks and a specific location for products that are going out. In this way, every department can work independently without any disruptions. Not only that, we have a separate section where we keep our packaging material, closer to the production lines, so that we work quicker and our employees do not have to travel significant distance which could possibly impact our manufacturing time.

From a personal point of view, I keep my house the same way as I keep my workplace. I stay alone so it is easier for me to keep things in the right place. For instance, If my energy goes down or my midnight cravings start to kick in, I have a small section in my room, right beside my bed, where I keep snacks such as small packets of chips or chocolates to keep myself full. In the kitchen area, I have different drawers for different types of cutlery so that It is easy for me to look for things such as small plates for breakfast or big plates for lunch or dinner. Additionally, I have paper towels in almost every room of my house so that I can easily pick up mess or clean any spills.

AI examiner evaluation

Task Achievement / Task Response — Band 7.0

You have clearly addressed the prompt by providing a personal opinion and supporting it with relevant examples from both your professional and personal life. The position is consistent throughout the essay. The ideas are well-developed, particularly the warehouse example, which provides a concrete illustration of how organization impacts efficiency. To reach a higher band, you could expand slightly on the broader societal or psychological benefits of tidiness, rather than focusing exclusively on personal convenience. Overall, the response is well-focused and directly answers the question asked.

Coherence and Cohesion — Band 7.0

The essay is logically organized into two main paragraphs, each focusing on a distinct aspect of the topic. You use cohesive devices such as 'The rationale behind this is', 'Not only that', and 'Additionally' to connect your ideas. However, some transitions feel slightly mechanical. The progression of ideas is clear, and the paragraphing is appropriate. To improve, try to vary your linking phrases further and ensure that the transition between the professional and personal examples feels more fluid, perhaps by using a concluding sentence in the first paragraph that bridges the two concepts.

Lexical Resource — Band 6.5

You demonstrate a sufficient range of vocabulary to discuss the topic with precision. Phrases like 'fast paced environment', 'manufacturing time', and 'midnight cravings' are used effectively. There are some minor issues with collocation, such as 'keep my house the same way as I keep my workplace' (better: 'maintain my home in the same manner as my workplace'). While the vocabulary is adequate for the task, incorporating more sophisticated or academic collocations would help elevate the score. The spelling is accurate throughout the response.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy — Band 7.0

You use a mix of simple and complex sentence structures effectively. Most sentences are clear and error-free, which ensures that communication is never impeded. There are occasional minor grammatical slips, such as 'If my energy goes down' (the 'If' is unnecessary or the sentence structure could be more formal) and 'pick up mess' (should be 'pick up the mess'). You have good control over punctuation, though some sentences could be refined for better flow. Overall, the grammar is strong and supports the clarity of your arguments.
