Since almost all people spend most of thier adult life on working, it is important to obtain job satisfaction in order to keep individual well being. In my opinion, several factors affect on job satisfaction: salary, workplace environment, health and relationship among coworkers.

Regarding the elements which contribute to job satisfaction, essential aspects to live significantly relate to it. For instance, even if a worker is satisfied with his or her job expect for salary, he or she cannot continue to work without some extent of money to keep ordinary life. In addition, physical and mental health also have contribution to job satisfaction. People cannot work when they are sick or scicologic disease. For example, althouth my father was satisfied with his workplace, he got an eye disease due to the hard working. As a result, he needed to take a long rest to heal it.

It is difficult to define general reality of job satisfaction. However, I think no one can got a completely ideal job. Therefore, a worker needs to make a priority list, when he or she is on job hunting. If a person really focuses on the flexibility of the time of work, maybe he or she has to accept not ideal salary. On the other hand, if a man seek to a well paid job like banker or consultant, it is inevitable for him to spend so long time on working and expose himself to severe work environment.

To sum up, various factors have influence on job satisfaction. However, it is almost impossible for people to satisfy all aspects of a job, and workers need to prioritize their essential requirements. This order could be different among individual people.

Thank you for sharing your essay. Here's the evaluation based on IELTS criteria:

  1. Task Response:

    • Band Score: 6
    • Feedback: You have addressed the task by discussing factors that contribute to job satisfaction and the realism of achieving it. However, the development of ideas is somewhat limited, particularly in the second part of the question regarding the realism of job satisfaction. More depth in exploring this area would enhance your response.
  2. Coherence and Cohesion:

    • Band Score: 6
    • Feedback: The essay is organized with clear paragraphs, each focusing on a different aspect. However, the logical flow between ideas could be improved with better use of cohesive devices and clearer topic sentences.
  3. Lexical Resource:

    • Band Score: 6
    • Feedback: You demonstrate a fair range of vocabulary, but there are some inaccuracies and misused words (e.g., "scicologic" should be "psychological", "althouth" should be "although"). Greater accuracy and variety in word choice would improve this score.
  4. Grammatical Range and Accuracy:

    • Band Score: 5
    • Feedback: The essay contains a mix of complex and simple sentence structures. However, there are several grammatical errors that sometimes hinder clarity (e.g., "affect on" should be "affect", "got an eye disease due to the hard working" should be "got an eye disease due to hard work"). Attention to grammatical accuracy is needed.

Overall Band Score: 6

The essay demonstrates a reasonable understanding of the task with some good points made. To improve, focus on developing your ideas more fully, particularly in addressing the second part of the question. Enhance your essay's flow with better cohesion, and work on accuracy in both vocabulary and grammar.

Great, let's analyze the vocabulary in your essay. I'll highlight some areas where vocabulary could be improved or varied for a better effect:

  1. "Since almost all people spend most of their adult life on working"

    • Improvement: Consider rephrasing to "Since the majority of adults spend a significant portion of their lives working".
  2. "it is important to obtain job satisfaction"

    • Alternative: "achieving job satisfaction is crucial".
  3. "several factors affect on job satisfaction"

    • Correction: "several factors contribute to job satisfaction".
  4. "he or she cannot continue to work without some extent of money"

    • More natural: "they cannot continue to work without a certain level of income".
  5. "scicologic disease"

    • Correction and Improvement: "psychological illness" or "mental health issues".
  6. "althouth my father was satisfied with his workplace, he got an eye disease due to the hard working"

    • Improved phrasing: "although my father was content with his job, he developed an eye condition from overwork".
  7. "a man seek to a well paid job like banker or consultant"

    • More fluent: "an individual seeks a high-paying role such as in banking or consultancy".
  8. "it is almost impossible for people to satisfy all aspects of a job"

    • Variation: "it is nearly unfeasible for individuals to find complete satisfaction in every aspect of their job".

This analysis focuses on enhancing clarity, precision, and variety in your vocabulary use. By making these adjustments, your essay would not only become more fluent but also more engaging for the reader.
