In recent years education has changed deeply. It has experienced transformation driven by digitalization. Now students and teachers particularly have access to digital platforms, a wide range of apps and online platforms. That's kind of advantageous because it helps to be more self-directed, to be more broadened in their horizons, and especially sophisticated tools such as artificial intelligence, to encourage people to practice their skills and help them to get instant feedback. For example, ChatGPT enables students to practice their learning skills through online conversation. That's really beneficial and helps to get instant feedback from digital platforms. I think that digitalization will develop more and so educational experience would be more personalized, flexible, and convenient.

Task Response

The answer stays on topic and addresses the question directly, discussing key changes such as digitalization and access to online platforms. It provides a general perspective rather than personal anecdotes, which is appropriate for Part 3. The response is well-developed with examples (e.g., ChatGPT) and includes a forward-looking statement. To achieve a higher score, consider structuring the answer with clearer points (e.g., changes in teaching methods, accessibility, assessment) and using more precise vocabulary. Additionally, ensure grammatical accuracy and avoid minor repetition (e.g., 'digital platforms' mentioned twice). Overall, the response is strong and meets most criteria for a high band.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is generally coherent and organized around the idea of digitalization. However, there are some issues with fluency, including a few hesitations and self-corrections (e.g., 'a ride of apps' instead of 'a wide range of apps', 'frozen' instead of 'broadened'). The response could be improved by using clearer cohesive devices to link ideas and by avoiding repetition (e.g., 'instant feedback' is mentioned twice). To achieve a higher score, aim for smoother transitions and more varied linking phrases.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is appropriate for the topic, with some good attempts at less common items (e.g., 'digitalization', 'self-directed', 'sophisticated tools'). However, there are noticeable errors in word choice and collocation (e.g., 'a ride of apps' instead of 'a wide range of apps', 'frozen in their horizons' instead of 'broadened their horizons', 'lice' instead of 'flexible'). To improve, focus on using precise and accurate vocabulary, and avoid literal translations or invented phrases. A wider range of topic-specific terms would also enhance the response.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is mostly accurate, with some good use of complex structures (e.g., 'It has experienced transformation driven by digitalization', 'to encourage people to practice their skills'). However, there are several errors that affect clarity, such as 'a ride of apps' (incorrect article and noun), 'frozen in their horizons' (incorrect verb form), and 'lice' (incorrect word). The sentence 'I think that digitalization would develop more and so educational experience would be more personalized' mixes tenses (would develop, would be) and could be more precise. To improve, practice using a wider range of grammatical structures accurately, and pay attention to subject-verb agreement and word forms.

Do you think children should have photography at school?

That’s a very interesting question. Personally I believe that photography as a subject is not a necessary subject to be introduced in school. It’s not a basic skill unlike cooking or self-defense technique. So photography could be chosen as an optional subject if a child is interested in learning or pursuing photography, then he or […]
