The basic reason to locate statues in public places is to memorize the achievements of the person. But what's more, it can be a good trigger, an educational tool. If you don't know about the person, if you don't know the person, it can be looked at. Even if you have access to the website or information on the net, but if you have a physical object like the monument, you will start bringing up the person or the information about what he has done all the time. That's very beautiful. True is that spirit.

Task Response

The answer stays on topic and addresses the question directly, discussing both the commemorative and educational purposes of statues. It provides a general perspective rather than personal experience, which is appropriate for Part 3. However, the response could be more fully developed with clearer structure and more precise language. Some phrases are a bit unclear or informal (e.g., 'That's very beautiful. True is that spirit.'), which slightly reduces the naturalness and depth. To improve, consider organizing ideas more logically, using more formal vocabulary, and expanding on the educational aspect with specific examples or broader societal benefits.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer has a clear structure with an introduction and a main point, but there are noticeable hesitations and repetitions ('if you don't know the person' repeated). The idea about statues being educational triggers is good, but the flow is disrupted by self-corrections and incomplete sentences. To improve, practice speaking more smoothly and avoid repeating phrases. Use cohesive devices like 'furthermore' or 'in addition' to link ideas more clearly.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but not precise. Words like 'memorize' (should be 'commemorate') and 'career' (should be 'object' or 'monument') are misused. The phrase 'educational interview' is unclear; 'educational tool' would be better. To improve, expand your vocabulary for common IELTS topics and practice using precise terms. Also, avoid literal translations from your native language.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical errors, such as 'memorize the achievement' (should be 'commemorate the achievements'), 'it can be looked at' (awkward passive), and 'if you have physical career' (should be 'physical object'). The sentence 'True is that spirit' is grammatically incorrect. To improve, practice using a variety of sentence structures and ensure subject-verb agreement. Review common grammar rules and practice writing complex sentences.

Do you think academic achievement truly reflects a child's intelligence?

Now, I do not believe that academic achievement fully or accurately reflects a charge of all intelligence because primarily traditional school systems mainly evaluate standardized skills like memorization and test packing abilities, largely overlooking other vital dimensions of human intellect such as creativity, emotional awareness, and practical problem solving. For example, a child might excel […]
