Owning a Home Rather Than Renting

The response addresses both questions, presents a clear positive position, and extends main ideas, but some development is uneven and the cited survey is awkwardly integrated and only loosely relevant.

Progression is broadly clear with paragraph-level organisation, yet cohesion is often mechanical, and sentence fragments and faulty linking reduce the flow within paragraphs.

There is a wide range of vocabulary, but frequent imprecise or unnatural combinations such as “investing the finance” and “puts his efforts to the extreme” reduce accuracy and clarity.

A variety of complex structures is attempted, but fragments, shifting subjects in coordinated clauses and faulty reporting structures sometimes impede clarity.

Reasons for preferring ownership are developed through social expectations, control and housing security, and the position favouring ownership is clear. The evaluation of society’s emphasis on ownership is less explicit, while some generalisations and the colonial analogy need more precise support.

The response moves from reasons for ownership to drawbacks of renting and a concluding preference, with line breaks marking these stages. Sequencers make the order clear, but some references and overloaded sentence links reduce cohesion; an introductory overview would clarify the two-part response.

Topic vocabulary includes mortgage, proprietor and redecorate, and there are attempts at less common expressions. However, combinations such as “a rent house”, “high-tier social status” and “in the condition of insufficient finance” reduce naturalness and precision.

The response attempts varied complex structures, but control is uneven. The incomplete “While” sentence, the repeated object in “control over it”, missing article in “take risk”, and missing auxiliary in “always be” show recurring problems with clause construction and grammatical completeness.

The response answers both questions with a consistent positive position and a developed example of rental insecurity. The status motive is introduced but not developed, and the community and investment benefits would be stronger with more precise explanation.

Ideas progress logically across clearly organised paragraphs with a range of cohesive devices, though transitions are at times somewhat mechanical.

Vocabulary is flexible with some less common items such as 'whims of landlords', 'put down roots', and 'skyrocket', despite occasional informal or imprecise phrasing.

A variety of complex structures, including conditionals, relative clauses, and subordinate constructions, is used with good control and only minor, non-impeding errors.

The response addresses both parts of the task directly, presents a clear position that the trend is negative despite individual benefits, and develops each reason with relevant explanation and examples.

The reasons for ownership lead clearly into the overall negative evaluation and conclusion. Signposts such as “The second reason”, “But overall” and “In conclusion” help the reader follow this sequence.

A good range of topic-specific vocabulary is used, including "surplus income", "mortgage payments" and "house price inflation". Minor wordiness appears in "clear positive benefits" and "for a length of 25 years".

Complex sentences, including relative and conditional clauses, are generally well controlled. The reason clause can be made more economical, while shifts into "you" affect consistency of viewpoint rather than grammatical agreement.

Both questions are addressed with a clear position, well-developed reasons for home ownership, and relevant support including a local housing-value example, though some claims are asserted rather than fully justified.

Ideas are organised logically across clear paragraphs with a range of cohesive devices, progression is easy to follow, and occasional slightly mechanical linking does not impede the message.

Vocabulary is sufficient to explain financial and social motivations, with useful phrases such as “elevated social status” and “positive correlation”. Precision is weakened by expressions including “during their rent” and “usually means a sign”, while some choices are less concise than they could be.

The response uses a range of simple and complex sentences with generally clear meaning. Accuracy is less consistent in the blended structure “how your house looks like” and the tense used in “houses ... now triple in value”; some sentences could also be made more concise.

Both parts of the task are addressed with a clear position, relevant reasons for home ownership (financial gain, family planning, status), and developed explanation supporting the negative judgement.

Ideas are organised into clear paragraphs with logical progression, though some linking devices are used mechanically and a few connections between ideas are loose.

There is a reasonable range of topic-related vocabulary and some less common items, but imprecise expressions such as “virtual inflation”, “get over with the house owners” and “insidious to” reduce accuracy.

A mix of simple and complex structures is used, but errors in clause structure and coordinated verb forms occasionally hinder clarity, including “could use… or at least avoiding” and “even their physique and psyche are affected”.

The response answers both questions and supports its negative evaluation with extended examples of a forced sale and a declined job offer. The links between these individual risks and excessive emphasis on ownership could be made more explicit.

Ideas follow a clear sequence from reasons for ownership to financial and career drawbacks. References such as "this mentality" and the claim that overemphasis is a consequence of the trend occasionally blur the relationship between ideas.

Vocabulary is sufficiently flexible and precise, with natural collocations like 'at the mercy of the landlord', 'financial flexibility', and 'geographic mobility', with only minor awkwardness such as 'this mentality'.

A wide range of complex structures is used with generally good control, including concessive, relative and conditional clauses. The shift from "he" to "their family" is a minor reference inconsistency rather than a clear agreement error.

Both questions are answered, with security and status offered as motivations and a clear negative judgement developed through social pressure and borrowing. The argument would be stronger with qualified claims about owners’ financial freedom and a clearer link between social pressure and the mortgage example.

Ideas progress logically across well-organised paragraphs with effective cohesive devices, and referencing is generally clear, with only occasional slightly loose linkage between claims and support.

Vocabulary is flexible and precise, with natural idiomatic and less common items used accurately, such as 'hangs over them', 'engender feelings of inadequacy', and 'lends an air of respectability'.

A wide range of structures is used with strong control, including complex conditionals and relative clauses, and errors are rare and non-impeding aside from a minor omission such as 'able buy'.

The response addresses both questions and develops a qualified position through financial and mobility arguments. The comparative example is relevant, although the evaluation focuses more on individual housing choices than on the importance society places on ownership.

Ideas progress logically from the financial motive and comparative example to individual trade-offs and a conclusion. Referencing and linking expressions generally make this sequence easy to follow.

Vocabulary is flexible and precise, with natural collocations such as 'wise move', 'a degree of flexibility', and 'matter of personal preference', showing good awareness of style.

A wide range of structures is used with strong control, including concessive clauses, embedded clauses and future-perfect constructions. The language is generally accurate, with only occasional awkward phrasing.
