Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 2.5

The response makes a general attempt to discuss interest in building history, but it does not adequately answer either question. It gives no clear, relevant reasons for why people want to learn about their own home’s past, and it does not explain practical research methods such as consulting property records, local archives, previous owners, or neighbours. The examples remain vague: “people interested in other history of places” does not support a specific point. The conclusion repeats the prompt rather than summarising an answer. The response is also 11 words below the 250-word minimum; the 21 words copied from the task prompt are not counted. To improve, address both questions directly and develop each point with a relevant explanation or example.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 3.5

There is a basic attempt to organise the response into paragraphs, and markers such as “Firstly,” “Furthermore,” “For example,” and “To conclude” show an awareness of sequencing. However, the ideas do not progress clearly: the first body paragraph repeats that people have different interests, while the next shifts between houses, buildings, and “other places” without a clear link. The example paragraph does not provide a concrete example, and references such as “this statement” are unclear. Several linking words are used mechanically rather than to show a precise relationship between ideas. A clearer structure would give one paragraph to reasons and another to research methods, with each paragraph centred on a distinct point and supported in sequence.

Lexical Resource: Band 4.5

The response uses a small set of relevant topic words, including “history,” “building,” “house,” and “places,” so the general subject can be recognised. However, vocabulary is repetitive and often imprecise, which makes several ideas difficult to understand. Phrases such as “different mind,” “interested in some these places,” and “favourite places in heart” do not express the intended meaning naturally. There are also frequent spelling and word-form errors, including “intrested,” “becuse,” and “hisstorical.” Build a more useful range for this topic—such as “previous owners,” “property records,” “local archives,” and “historical significance”—and check spelling and collocations. This would help communicate specific reasons and research methods.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 4.5

The response attempts both simple and longer sentence forms, using connectors such as “because,” “therefore,” and “but.” However, control of sentence structure is weak, and errors often make relationships between ideas hard to follow. For example, “there are many types of people lives in” has an incorrect clause structure, while “every people think different mind” has problems with agreement and sentence construction. The repeated pattern “people interested” also omits the verb “are,” as in “more people interested in finding out.” Punctuation and capitalisation are inconsistent, including a comma splice in the opening sentence and unnecessary capitals after commas. Practise accurate subject–verb patterns and build longer sentences from correctly formed clauses.
