Why this response received Band 5.5
The response presents both general attitudes, uses a recognisable paragraph structure, and gives a clear preference for trying new things. However, the discussion is brief and uneven, and frequent grammatical and word-choice errors sometimes make the reasoning difficult to follow. The highest priority is to develop one clear reason for each attitude with a relevant example, using shorter and more accurately constructed sentences.
IELTS Writing Criteria Scores
Task Response
Both attitudes and the writer's opinion are addressed, but the ideas are limited, unevenly explained, and affected by the response being under length.
Explain one clear benefit of familiarity and one clear benefit of novelty, supporting each with a specific example.
Coherence and Cohesion
Paragraphing and basic linking make the overall direction visible, although several sentences connect ideas unclearly and the contrast between sides is imprecise.
Give each body paragraph a clear topic sentence and link supporting sentences in a direct cause-and-effect sequence.
Lexical Resource
The response attempts some less common vocabulary, but frequent inappropriate word choices and collocations reduce clarity and naturalness.
Prioritise accurate everyday wording and learn natural phrases such as gain experience, relieve stress, and prefer familiar routines.
Grammatical Range and Accuracy
Some complex forms are attempted, but frequent errors in agreement, articles, sentence structure, and word forms cause regular difficulty.
Build accurate simple and compound sentences first, then check every clause for a subject, a correctly formed verb, and necessary articles.
