Sample Response
It is true that students these days have to study many subjects than in the pastcompared to the past. At times it seems that there is no need to study subjects in which a child is not interested in, butinterested in but this leadslead to long-term effectslong term effects on the career of a student. To begin with, for the all-round development of a child, basic knowledgeof a child basic knowledge of every subject is quite essential because being aware of only a few subjects of interesta few interested subjects will create certain problems in the futureproblems in future. For instance, if we consider a student whoa student, who is allowed to learn only the subjects that interest themhis/her interested subject , they may be unable to copethen he/she cannot cope in other fields due to lack of information. To develop a perfect society, people with complete understanding are required then only they can handle the issue in adverse situations. Moreover, each and every subject has its own importance, we cannot deny this fact. Learning all the subjects throughout their school yearsfrom school days onwards will provide a student with more career opportunities. As we know a person's interests changethe taste of a person changes as he/she grows up. Therefore if he/she is given a chance to select only the subjects that interest themselect the interested subjects they may find thatthen sometimes it happens that he/ she can lose that interest after a certain age. This would lead to distress for a student. However, learning a few specific subjects hashave some benefits too. First, a student can develop a complete in-depth knowledge ofon certain subjects which helps them to work effectively in future when they start to do a job. In addition to this dealing with only a few subjects makes a student stress-free and keepsmake a student stress free and keep him/her away from the burden of a vast academic syllabusburden of academic vast syllabus so they can concentrate better on their studiesthus he/she can concentrate well in studies. Owing to the above reasons it may be beneficial for a student in a few casesin few cases to learn specific subjects but I believe in this fast and competitive era knowledge of every subject is very important.
Why this response received Band 6.0
The response maintains a clear position and offers several relevant reasons why a broad curriculum can help students, while also acknowledging the opposing case. Its main limitation is that ideas are unevenly developed and presented in one dense paragraph, with frequent grammatical and collocational problems. The highest-priority improvement is to organise the argument into purposeful paragraphs and develop fewer claims with clearer, more specific support.

Task Response
A clear disagreement is sustained and supported by relevant reasons, but several claims are broad, vague, or only briefly developed.
Select the strongest two reasons and extend each with a specific explanation or example directly tied to educational benefit.
Coherence and Cohesion
The argument follows a recognisable progression and uses varied connectors, but the absence of paragraphing creates a dense presentation and some run-on links.
Separate the introduction, main supporting reasons, counterargument, and conclusion into distinct paragraphs with one controlling idea each.
Lexical Resource
The vocabulary covers the topic adequately and includes some less common items, though awkward collocations and imprecise choices recur.
Replace phrases such as interested subjects and academic vast syllabus with natural, precise academic expressions.
Grammatical Range and Accuracy
A mix of sentence forms communicates the argument, but frequent agreement, punctuation, article, and clause-control errors are evident.
Prioritise subject-verb agreement and sentence boundaries, then proofread complex sentences for complete and correctly linked clauses.
