Among the renewable sources of energy, nuclear energy is considered to be the most widely sustainable energy. However, this atomic energy encompasses its own set of impediments. Many people assume that countries around the globe are united due to nuclear pressures as well as the outcomes of this energy are far more beneficial. In my view, I the above-said viewpoint, as nuclear energy can prove to have more devastating effects if not utilized constructively.

Although nuclear energy is assumed as a significant renewable source of energy, the disposal of nuclear waste . For instance, the end products of nuclear plants that seem to the residents. Secondly, the establishment of nuclear power plants involves a humongous capital investment that can rather be spent on developing the natural resources of energy

The technological era not only witnessed the breakthrough in technical fields but also has visualized the favorable side of nuclear weapons. A part of the community strongly adheres to the reason that the deals and agreements between the developed as well as developing countries may be the cause behind . On the contrary, I that we are seated on the edge of an erupting volcano by signing nuclear weapon treaties. For example, the inference we gained from Japan after the heinous Hiroshima and Nagasaki nuclear bombings is still prevalent to us. the former generations are still suffering from skin cancers, physical disabilities owing to radiation side effects.

The advent of a new trend that should always be welcomed positively such as affordable nuclear energy. Nevertheless, we should always remember and learn from experience like sputniks moments.

Overall assessment

Why this response received Band 6.0

The response's strongest aspect is its clearly stated disagreement with the prompt, supported by plausible arguments about waste disposal, cost, and the risks of nuclear weapons. The main limitation is uneven control of vocabulary and sentence construction, along with an abrupt, underdeveloped conclusion that weakens the overall argument.

Task Response

6.0

A clear position of disagreement is presented and supported with relevant main ideas and examples, though some points are thinly developed and the closing paragraph does not consolidate the argument.

Coherence and Cohesion

6.0

The response is organised into distinct paragraphs with some linking devices, but progression is occasionally mechanical and transitions between ideas, including the abrupt final paragraph, reduce overall coherence.

Lexical Resource

6.0

There is an attempt to use less common vocabulary such as 'impediments' and 'humongous', but several choices are inaccurate or unnatural, such as 'diverge with' and 'sputniks moments', limiting precision.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy

6.0

A mix of simple and complex sentence forms is used with generally accurate grammar, though recurring errors in tense, parallelism, and agreement slightly impede fluency at points.
