Some people think the typical teaching of a teacher and students in the class will not exist by the year 2050. Do you agree or disagree?
Sample Response
Technology is progressing at an exponential pace and this makes it very difficult to predict what schoolswhat the schools and the teacher-student relationshipteacher-taught relation of 2050 will be like. However, I do agree with the given statement that traditional classroom teachingthe typical teaching of a teacher and students in the class will not exist by 2050.
Education will be driven by technology and learning will be possiblelearning will be able to happen anytime and anywhere. Students will also be able to choose howmake choices in how they learn the content. Learning will be based on individual interests and needsneed. It will no longer be the ‘one size fits all’ approach. Technology will provide access to resourcesserve as a means to the resources that students can use to broaden their learningthat students will be able to utilize in order to broaden their learning.
Teachers will become facilitators of learningknowledge and will no longer be the only expertsand no longer the only experts because of the rapid and constant changes in and additions to informationchanges and additions to information that can be found. For example, the amount of medical knowledge doubles every eight years; it is said that half of what an engineering student learns in their first year is obsolete or revised by the time they graduate. The teacher will still guide students through learning but it will be impossible for teachers to have all the knowledge with technology. That is capable of finding more than can be learned. The teacher will still be needed to help students learn howwhere to locate information and help students assess the reliability of websites and resourcesevaluate sites and resources for validity.
Specialists in technology will need to be part of the education system to continually enrich students' learningeducational environment to constantly enrich the learning environment for students. Each child will have a portable computer and textbooks will not exist. Teachers will use tablet PCs and projectors to display imagescall up images at the front of the classroom at the touch of a button. With the old sound of chalk on a blackboard being replaced by the hum of desktop computers.
To sum up, I pen down saying that despite all the new technology in 2050. The school will remainwould still remain a social occasion and teachers willwould still be there even if their way of imparting knowledge would be driven by technology.
Why this response received Band 6.5
The response maintains a broadly clear view that technology will replace the traditional teaching model and develops this through relevant discussion of personalised learning, changing teacher roles, and classroom tools. Its main limitation is uneven precision: the continued presence of teachers and classrooms is not fully reconciled with the opening claim, while several fragments interrupt clarity; prioritise a more carefully qualified thesis and complete, grammatically controlled sentences.

Task Response
The position is clear and supported by several relevant, developed ideas about technology and changing teacher roles.
Clarify that the traditional model will transform rather than disappear, and connect every example directly to that qualified position.
Coherence and Cohesion
The response is logically paragraphed and generally progressive, although a few abrupt fragments interrupt the flow between ideas.
Integrate fragmentary additions into surrounding sentences and use clearer links when moving from teacher roles to classroom technology.
Lexical Resource
The response uses a varied and generally effective range of education and technology vocabulary, despite some awkward collocations.
Replace formulaic or imprecise phrases with natural academic wording, especially when describing resources, relationships, and the conclusion.
Grammatical Range and Accuracy
A useful variety of sentence forms is attempted, but fragments and recurring errors in agreement, reference, and tense weaken accuracy.
Check that every sentence has a complete main clause and keep subjects, pronouns, and future verb forms consistently aligned.
