Why this response received Band 5.5
The response expresses a consistent belief that parents are uniquely influential teachers and offers relevant points about experience, guidance, and emotional support. However, the argument remains loosely developed, and frequent grammatical and collocational errors combine with very long sentences to strain clarity. The highest-priority improvement is to organise two distinct reasons into separate paragraphs, support each with a concrete example, and write shorter, accurately controlled sentences.
IELTS Writing Criteria Scores
Task Response
The position is clear and relevant reasons are introduced, but their explanation is limited, sometimes contradictory, and unsupported by concrete examples.
Build two distinct reasons for parents' superiority as teachers and demonstrate each one with a specific childhood or family example.
Coherence and Cohesion
The central viewpoint can be followed, but one unbroken paragraph, run-on sentences, and loosely connected shifts produce weak progression.
Use an introduction, two focused body paragraphs, and a conclusion, with each paragraph organised around one clearly stated main idea.
Lexical Resource
There is enough vocabulary to discuss guidance and experience, but frequent unnatural phrases such as life trip, guides people, and daily bases activities reduce clarity.
Choose simpler, accurate collocations such as journey through life, experienced guides, and daily activities, and check word forms carefully.
Grammatical Range and Accuracy
Frequent errors in articles, agreement, auxiliaries, pronouns, and sentence boundaries occur across the response and sometimes make relationships between ideas difficult to follow.
Prioritise complete sentences with one main clause, then check subject-verb agreement and article use before attempting longer complex structures.
