Globalisation, the buzzword of the modern era, has significanttremendously positive and negative impacts on today’s world. Some people say that the world has many urgent issues to be considered, while another groupconsidered, however yet another group argues that these problems can be solved easily through the cooperation of different nations. The focus of this essay is to scrutinise the problems and solutions fromby economic and social perspectives and rule out the writer's opinion. First and foremost, from the economic point of view, half of the world is facing a major financial crisis. Financial equilibrium around the world could only be possible with the help of developed countries. Very often underdeveloped countries export their natural resources at the lowest ratesin cheapest rate in exchange for costly technological productsfor costly technical products and thus fall into debt. To be clear, to manage this debt, a country takes out loansto resolve these debts country takes loans from the World Bankfrom World Bank and this continues as a cycle. These kinds of financial burdensburden can be reduced by purchasing natural resourcestaking natural resource at a fair pricein the good rate by developed nations. Secondly, when problems are considered from social perspectiveswhen the problems are taken in social perspectives, they are numerousit is huge in number. One of the main problems is crime and corruption. The increased rates of these problemsIncreased rate of this has turned the earth into an evil planet. To be precise, the increase in population has affected the resources inversely proportional thus poverty, unemployment extra has stuck the underdeveloped world. The environmental issues are global and no matter which countries are contributing more to pollutionpollute the world, all countries would face the consequencesconsequence. Hence global coordinationa global bonding and cooperation to solve such urgent issues are required. The developed countries as well as the developing and lower-income countriesdeveloping and under developed countries can all work together to reduce the air and environmental pollution of the world. However, some people argue that help from different part of the world cannot solve these kinds of urgent issues from the root itself but only through the collective management of each country can bring about the changes right from the basic level or foundation. Even though helping hand given by the nations could help solve the problems but it takes time thus for a sudden change cooperation from countries will work out within time. To sum up, solving problems are always fast and effective in a team than in individual thus nations co-operation help solve the urgent problems; the government of a country should also take a role in solving the issues which will boost the strength eradicating international problems.

Overall assessment

Why this response received Band 5.5

The response offers relevant economic and environmental reasons for international cooperation and ultimately states a generally supportive position. Its main limitation is that the position emerges late and several ideas become unclear through imprecise reasoning, awkward wording, and heavily overloaded sentences. The highest-priority improvement is to state the degree of agreement in the introduction and develop two focused examples through shorter, accurately controlled sentences.

TR

Task Response

6.0
Scoring rule

The response addresses the proposition and gives relevant examples, but its degree of agreement is initially unclear and development is uneven.

Next step

State a precise position at the outset and explain how cooperation solves two selected urgent problems rather than surveying many loosely developed issues.

CC

Coherence and Cohesion

5.5
Scoring rule

A broad progression from economic to social and environmental issues is visible, but dense sequencing and unclear logical links disrupt coherence.

Next step

Use separate paragraphs for each main reason and ensure every supporting sentence clearly explains the claim immediately before it.

LR

Lexical Resource

5.5
Scoring rule

The response attempts a reasonably broad vocabulary, but frequent inaccurate collocations and word choices obscure several points.

Next step

Prioritise accurate common combinations, replacing expressions such as in cheapest rate, global bonding, and solve from the root itself.

GRA

Grammatical Range and Accuracy

5.5
Scoring rule

Some complex structures are attempted, but frequent errors in agreement, articles, clause construction, and punctuation reduce clarity.

Next step

Build shorter complete sentences with secure subject-verb agreement before combining ideas into more complex structures.
