Student answer (Band 6.5)

It is recommended by many people that we ought to keep our home and workspace clean and arrange all the items accordingly. I certainly believe that it is the best approach toward a proper way of living. Concurrently, an organised living space and workspace increase our efficiency and productivity during work which gives an individual a sense of satisfaction.

To commence with, maintaining a clean surrounding could promote a healthy lifestyle by keeping us less vulnerable to disease caused by garbage and untreated water such as malaria and yellow fever. Moreover, maintaining sanitary conditioms in personal kitchen and washroom is also necessary, as all the nutrients we consume is preprared in our kitchen. Similarly, dirty and unhygenic washroom can leads to several infections such as UTI and itching. For instance, it is found in many experiments that half of the health issues and infections are caused by the micro organisms from stored garbage and blocked drainages.

Furthermore, a spotless and an organised workspace significantly increases the productivity of an individual. It providies them a better access to all the essentials they need during the work and such an environment minimize distractions as well. However, if an individual procrastinates and avoid cleaing, they might feel demotivated and tired during the working hours and such people are more prone to diseases.

To sum up, there is no doubt that cleanliness has paramount importance in maintaining a healtier and efficient lifestyle. It saves up from diseases and increases our efforts while working. Whereas, those people who avoid it, often suffers from anxiety, restlessness and health issues.

AI examiner evaluation

Task Achievement / Task Response — Band 7.0

The response addresses all parts of the prompt, clearly stating a position in favor of maintaining a tidy environment. The ideas are relevant and developed, with distinct paragraphs focusing on health benefits and workplace productivity. However, the development is somewhat repetitive; for example, the health benefits section could be more concise to allow for deeper exploration of the psychological impact of organization. The position is consistent throughout, and the conclusion effectively summarizes the main points. To reach a higher band, ensure that each supporting point is fully explored with more specific, nuanced examples rather than general statements about hygiene.

Coherence and Cohesion — Band 7.0

The essay is logically organized with a clear introduction, body paragraphs, and a conclusion. Cohesive devices such as 'To commence with', 'Moreover', 'Furthermore', and 'To sum up' are used effectively to guide the reader through the argument. Paragraphing is used appropriately, with each paragraph focusing on a central theme. While the flow is generally smooth, some transitions feel slightly mechanical. The referencing is clear, and the progression of ideas is easy to follow from the initial premise to the final summary.

Lexical Resource — Band 6.0

The vocabulary is sufficient to convey the message clearly. There is an attempt to use less common items such as 'paramount importance', 'vulnerable', and 'procrastinates'. However, there are several spelling errors ('conditioms', 'unhygenic', 'preprared', 'healtier') and minor collocation issues ('all the nutrients we consume is preprared'). These errors do not impede communication, but they prevent the response from reaching a higher band. Increasing the range of precise, academic vocabulary and ensuring accurate spelling would improve the score significantly.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy — Band 6.0

The essay uses a mix of simple and complex sentence structures. There is a good attempt at using complex sentences, such as 'if an individual procrastinates and avoid cleaing, they might feel demotivated'. However, there are frequent grammatical errors, particularly with subject-verb agreement ('all the nutrients... is preprared', 'dirty and unhygenic washroom can leads') and verb forms ('avoid cleaing', 'often suffers'). While these errors are noticeable, they rarely impede the reader's understanding. To improve, focus on proofreading for subject-verb agreement and consistent verb tense usage.
