evaluation Criteria
ielts writing tests are evaluated across 4 dimensions:
task Achievement – To what extent does the examinee address all parts of the task with a fully developed position, inclusive of fully extended and well supported ideas?
Coherence and Cohesion – does the examinee logically organise the information and ideas? is the entire essay cohesive?
Lexical resource – To what extent does the examinee use a wide range of vocabulary with accuracy? do they demonstrate sophistication regarding the use of lexical items?
Grammatical range and accuracy – does the examinee use a range of grammatical structures accurately?
The British Council (the administrator of the ielts) outlines 9 different bands of performance for each of the above dimensions here. Your scores in each of these dimensions are averaged to determine your overall band for your essay.
Let’s take a look at an example essay that scored as band 9 and then we’ll dig into each of these 4 areas to see why it received that score.
ielts essay sample question (1)
Doing an enjoyable activity with a child can develop better skills and more creativity than reading. To what extent do you agree? use reasons and specific examples to explain your answer.
ielts essay sample answer (1)
Parents throughout the world place spend time reading with their offspring to prepare them for school where their literacy skills are further developed; however, recent research suggests that focusing on reading at an early age can be detrimental, and participating in fun activities would be far more beneficial. I am a strong advocate of this approach, and the benefits of it will be covered in this essay.
A fundamental reason for this is that there is no biological age for reading, and pushing infants to acquire this skill before they are ready could have repercussions. For example, in the UK, many boys are reluctant readers, possibly because of being forced to read, and this turned them off reading. By focusing on other activities and developing other skills such as creativity and imagination, when they are ready to read, they usually acquire this skill rapidly. In addition, the importance of encouraging creativity and developing a child’s imagination must be acknowledged. through play, youngsters develop social and cognitive skills, for example, they are more likely to learn vocabulary through context rather than learning it from a book.
Furthermore, play allows youngsters to mature emotionally, and gain self-confidence. there is no scientific research w
