Here is the examiner’s comment:
This response discusses the advantages and the disadvantages of taking risks.
It puts much greater emphasis on risks in ‘professional life’. As
this response is
below 250 words (it is only 242), more could be added to include risks in ‘personal
life’ along with some specific examples of risks that people commonly take. There
is a clear progression through the response and ideas are logically organised;
disadvantages are presented first and advantages second. Cohesive devices can
be quite mechanical with examples at the start of most sentences [
First of all |
However |
On the other hand |
Firstly] but referencing is generally appropriate [
it |
this loss |
They |
The failure]. The first paragraph is very
short and paragraphing is
not entirely logical.
Vocabulary is effective with some less common items [
damage the society |
receive
huge benefits |
enable |
obtain advantages … from the process]. Occasional errors
remain [
object / objective |
point / perspective]. Sentence structure is good, with
frequent error-free sentences. There is a
variety of complex structures, including
conditionals [
if], but a few errors remain.
To improve this response, the word count of 250 should
be reached and concrete
example(s) of risk could be provided.
