Task Achievement / Task Response — Band 4.0
The response fails to meet the minimum word count requirement of 250 words, reaching only 191 words. This significantly impacts the development of ideas. While the essay attempts to address both parts of the prompt—reasons for interest and methods of research—the ideas are underdeveloped and lack sufficient explanation or relevant examples. The points made, such as 'budget issues' or 'AI and Google', are mentioned briefly but not expanded upon. The response lacks a clear position and the conclusion is fragmented. To improve, you must provide more detailed explanations and ensure the response meets the length requirement to allow for full development of your arguments.
Coherence and Cohesion — Band 4.5
The essay lacks a logical flow. While there is an attempt at paragraphing, the transitions between ideas are abrupt and often confusing. For example, the shift from 'building material' to 'budget issues' is disjointed. Cohesive devices are either missing or used incorrectly, such as the phrase 'conclution of the reaserch of house very important', which does not effectively signal the end of the essay. The lack of clear topic sentences makes it difficult for the reader to follow the progression of your argument. Improving the use of linking words like 'furthermore', 'consequently', or 'in addition' would help create a more coherent structure.
Lexical Resource — Band 4.0
The vocabulary is very limited and repetitive. There are frequent errors in word choice and spelling, such as 'oe' instead of 'or', 'peple' for 'people', and 'reaserch' for 'research'. The range of vocabulary is insufficient to express complex ideas, relying on basic words like 'make', 'house', and 'thing'. Many phrases are unnatural, such as 'communicate the owner' instead of 'consulting the owner'. To reach a higher band, you need to expand your vocabulary to include more precise terms related to architecture, history, and research methods, and focus on correct spelling and collocations.
Grammatical Range and Accuracy — Band 4.0
The essay contains frequent grammatical errors that often impede communication. There are significant issues with subject-verb agreement (e.g., 'Many symbol are add'), article usage, and sentence structure. Many sentences are fragmented or lack proper punctuation, making them difficult to parse. For instance, 'They we can the picture are scanned in AI' is grammatically incoherent. The range of structures is limited to simple sentences, with no successful attempts at complex grammatical forms. To improve, focus on mastering basic sentence construction, including correct verb tenses and word order, before attempting more complex structures.
