Why this response received Band 6.5
The response presents a clear opinion and follows a logical sequence from communication and transport to migration and cultural convergence. Its main limitations are uneven development, reliance on broad assertions, and the absence of paragraphing, while recurring grammatical and collocational lapses reduce precision. The highest priority is to organise the reasons into distinct paragraphs and support each with a specific, fully explained example.
IELTS Writing Criteria Scores
Task Response
A clear position is maintained and relevant reasons are offered, though several claims about cultural convergence remain general rather than fully substantiated.
Develop each reason with a concrete example showing exactly how a technology changes cultural practices across countries.
Coherence and Cohesion
The argument progresses logically through clear sequencing, but the entire response is presented as one paragraph and some transitions are mechanical.
Separate the introduction, individual reasons, and conclusion into purposeful paragraphs with clearer internal topic development.
Lexical Resource
The vocabulary is sufficiently varied for the topic, but spelling and collocational errors recur despite meaning remaining clear.
Use more natural combinations such as ‘gain experience’ and proofread forms such as ‘Below’ to improve lexical precision.
Grammatical Range and Accuracy
The response uses both simple and complex forms, but recurring agreement, article, and noun-phrase errors limit accuracy.
Prioritise subject–verb agreement and article control, especially in sentences with plural subjects such as ‘new technologies’.
