Writing Task 2 113 words 1 min read

Task

Some people think that children should learn how to cook at school. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Band 4.5 answer

Nowadays many people think children should learn cook at school. I am agree with this.

Firstly, cooking is useful. When children cook they can eat healthy and not buy food outside. Many children eat burger, it is not good for body. If they learn cook in school, they know what is good food.

Secondly, children can learn in group. They do together and make friend. Teacher can help them for safe.

But some people say school have no time. Maths and English is more important. I think cooking is important too, because everyone must eat everyday.

In the conclusion, I agree children should learn cooking at school because it is useful and healthy.

Why this scores 4.5

One note for each marking criterion.

Task response
Gives a position, but the answer is under length (about 120 words) and ideas are one-line statements with no development. Several parts of the task are only touched on.
Coherence and cohesion
Basic paragraphs and a few linkers (Firstly, Secondly, But), but sentences rarely connect to each other.
Lexical resource
Very limited. Repeats 'cooking', 'food' and 'important'. Errors in word choice and form ('learn cook', 'for safe', 'make friend') make meaning less clear.
Grammatical range and accuracy
Mostly simple sentences. Errors are frequent (missing articles and plurals, 'I am agree', 'school have') and sometimes make the meaning harder to follow.
Note
A teaching sample written by AI to show what this band looks like. Errors in the lower versions are deliberate. Not examiner-marked.
