Sample Answer
While it is widely debated that government should reduce investing on the arts due to its lack of tangible benefits, others contend that investing in sciences generates higher revenue and has positive impact on the economy.2
Arts showcase numerous intagible benefits ranging from overall wellbeing to tourism to commerce.
Thus, I strongly believe that a right balance between investing in arts and sciences is essential for governments.3
To begin with, arts help understand the evolution of native cultures and traditions, which form the basis for our knowledge and perceiving the world.
It is evident since time immemorial that humans practiced art on walls of caves to communicate history and survival tactics.
Sentence 1 - Feedback
"In the contemporary era, technological advancements have transformed our means of communication, entertainment and traditions, which is causing slow dying of arts."
The opening frames the essay around technology rather than the actual prompt (government spending).
In the contemporary era, debate has intensified over whether governments should continue to fund the arts, or redirect that money to areas with more measurable returns.
"Slow dying of arts" is awkward. A native phrasing would use a noun like "decline" or "demise".
... which is causing a gradual decline of the arts.
Missing article — "slow dying of arts" should be "a slow decline of the arts".
... which is causing a slow decline of the arts.

Task Response feedback (6)
In the contemporary era, technological advancements have transformed our means of communication, entertainment and traditions, which is causing slow dying of arts.
💡Opening reframes the topic as technology vs arts rather than the funding question.
In the contemporary era, governments face growing pressure to justify how public funds are allocated, and some argue that spending on the arts diverts money from more pressing priorities.
Whilst it is widely debated that government should reduce investing on the arts due to its lack of tangible benefits, others contend that investing in sciences generates higher revenue and has positive impact on the economy.
💡Introduces 'sciences' as the contrast, which the prompt never mentions.
Whilst some maintain that the government should reduce arts funding because it yields few tangible benefits, others insist that this expenditure is more than justified by its wider returns.
Thus, I strongly believe that a right balance between investing in arts and sciences is essential for governments.
💡Thesis pivots to a 'balance' between arts and sciences, blurring the agree/disagree stance.
Thus, I strongly disagree with the view that arts funding is wasteful, as the cultural and economic returns clearly justify continued public investment.
Furthermore, arts enhance the creativity of young minds to explore beyond their traditional education.
💡Claim about creativity is asserted but not developed with reasoning or example.
Furthermore, the arts enhance the creativity of young minds, encouraging children to think laterally and approach academic problems in original ways that a purely traditional education rarely fosters.
In addition to that, adults who practice some form of art regularly are less prone to high stress levels.
💡Stress benefit stated without explanation or evidence.
In addition, adults who practise some form of art regularly tend to experience lower stress levels, as creative expression offers a healthy outlet for emotion and a means of relaxation.
Therefore, governments must contine spending budget on arts.
💡Final judgement ignores the 'balance with sciences' thesis, leaving the position inconsistent.
Therefore, far from being wasteful, government spending on the arts should continue, as it delivers clear cultural, social and economic returns.
