Why this response received Band 4.5
The response has a recognisable position and paragraph structure, and it attempts to support both views with examples. However, much of the reasoning is only loosely connected to innate sporting or musical talent, one example is off-topic, and repeated copied fragments severely disrupt development and clarity. The highest priority is to remove all prompt repetition, then build two directly relevant arguments that explain how natural ability and training each affect success.
IELTS Writing Criteria Scores
Task Response
Both views and an opinion are identifiable, but the arguments are weakly developed and several examples do not directly address sporting or musical ability.
Use one relevant example for innate talent and one for successful training, explaining explicitly how each supports the discussion.
Coherence and Cohesion
Basic paragraphing separates the main positions, but repeated copied fragments, abrupt sentence boundaries, and mechanical linking undermine progression.
Delete the repeated task wording and connect each paragraph's sentences through a clear claim, explanation, and example sequence.
Lexical Resource
The response has enough vocabulary to express its main message, but repetition, awkward word choices, and spelling errors substantially reduce precision.
Replace vague or inaccurate phrases with topic-specific language about aptitude, coaching, practice, and achievement.
Grammatical Range and Accuracy
Frequent errors in sentence boundaries, capitalization, verb forms, articles, and clause structure reduce clarity, although the main meaning is often recoverable.
Focus first on writing complete sentences with correct subject-verb forms and capital letters after full stops.
