Why this response received Band 6.0
The response has a clear preference for change and a straightforward four-paragraph structure that makes both perspectives easy to identify. However, its claims are often generalised or insufficiently supported, and frequent awkward collocations and grammatical slips reduce precision; the main priority is to develop each view with a specific, credible example while revising sentence structures and word choices for accuracy.
IELTS Writing Criteria Scores
Task Response
Both views are addressed and the writer's opinion is clear, although the supporting claims are broad, sometimes questionable, and only moderately developed.
Support each perspective with a specific example and explain more carefully why routine or change produces the claimed outcomes.
Coherence and Cohesion
The paragraph sequence is logical and basic linking is clear, though cohesion is sometimes mechanical and some sentences connect ideas imprecisely.
Use referencing and transitions more selectively so each sentence develops the paragraph's central idea rather than simply adding another claim.
Lexical Resource
There is enough vocabulary to discuss risk, growth, and adaptability, but frequent inaccurate collocations and word choices weaken precision.
Replace awkward expressions such as 'prospects of people's life', 'sluggish people', and 'in attention' with natural context-appropriate wording.
Grammatical Range and Accuracy
A mix of simple and complex structures communicates the main meaning, but agreement, article, word-form, and sentence-construction errors recur.
Prioritise subject-verb agreement and complete clause structures, then proofread each sentence for articles, plurals, and capitalisation.
