task achievement
Your essay addresses the task and presents a clear position throughout the response. However, the argument could be more thoroughly developed with further analysis and specific examples demonstrating the benefits of arts. You should also address the other side of the argument adequately by discussing why some believe investment in public services is more important. This would provide a balanced view.
coherence and cohesion
While there's a logical flow to your essay, the use of cohesive devices is somewhat mechanical, and the paragraphing can be improved to enhance the logical structure. Try to present each main idea in a new paragraph with a clear topic sentence followed by explanations or examples.
lexical resource
Be cautious with grammatical errors and the accuracy of word choices, as these can obscure your meaning or reduce the impact of your essay. Phrases such as 'builder of human and society' and 'earnings money and work place for millions' are incorrect or awkward. Work on accuracy and more sophisticated language structures.
grammatical range and accuracy
You demonstrate a range of structures, yet there are errors with verb forms and some awkward constructions. To advance your score, focus on using a variety of complex sentence structures accurately, and ensure that your sentences clearly express your ideas without errors that detract from the meaning.
