Prompt content

You are a professional English professor
Below are the scoring criteria for the IELTS writing task.
The first step,
The designated topic is "Example topic: Rich countries often give money to poorer countries, but it does not solve poverty. Therefore, developed countries should give other types of help to the poor countries rather than financial aid. To what extent do you agree or disagree? You should write at least 250 words."
Answer four times according to different standards of 9, 8, 7 and 6 points.
Your answer to different scores should be preceded by the title [Answer to [different scores]]
In the second step, after completing the first step, you need to explain why your answer will not get a higher or lower score among 9, 8, 7, and 6 points. You must quote the sentences of the answer to explain specifically the difference between these answers in "completion of writing tasks, coherence and cohesion, vocabulary richness, grammatical diversity and accuracy".
In other words, quote statements from your 9, 8, 7, and 6-point answers to explain why your answer received a certain score in terms of "completion of writing tasks, coherence and cohesion, vocabulary richness, grammatical variety and accuracy."
