Task Achievement / Task Response — Band 5.0
The response addresses both parts of the prompt, identifying reasons for interest in building history and methods for research. However, the development of ideas is limited and often unclear. For example, the explanation regarding 'family connections' and 'identity' is vague, and the connection between calculating property and facing crises is illogical. Furthermore, the response is under the 250-word minimum, which negatively impacts the depth of the argument. To improve, you should provide more specific, logical examples and ensure that every point directly answers the prompt with sufficient elaboration.
Coherence and Cohesion — Band 5.0
The essay is organised into paragraphs, but the logical progression within them is weak. Transitions are often mechanical or misused, such as the abrupt shift in the second paragraph. Referencing is sometimes unclear, for instance, the phrase 'they now be able to face every crises situation' lacks a clear antecedent. While there is an attempt to use cohesive devices like 'Moreover' and 'In conclusion', the overall flow is disjointed, making it difficult for the reader to follow the development of your argument.
Lexical Resource — Band 5.0
The vocabulary is limited and repetitive, often relying on basic or incorrectly used terms. There are several instances of word-choice errors, such as 'locate out ragarding' instead of 'finding out about' and 'crutial' (spelling error). Phrases like 'little works' and 'pure data' are unnatural in this context. To reach a higher band, you need to expand your range of vocabulary and focus on using words that are appropriate for an academic context, ensuring that collocations are accurate.
Grammatical Range and Accuracy — Band 5.0
The essay contains frequent grammatical errors that occasionally impede communication. There are consistent issues with subject-verb agreement ('most of the people are show', 'every person are trying') and verb tense/form ('they now be able to', 'they tried hard to find out'). Sentence structures are generally simple, and attempts at complex sentences are often marred by errors. Punctuation is also inconsistent, particularly with the use of hyphens instead of apostrophes. A focus on basic sentence construction and proofreading for subject-verb agreement is essential.
