Task Achievement / Task Response — Band 5.0
The response addresses both parts of the prompt, discussing reasons why people research their building's history and how they can do so. However, the ideas are under-developed and lack sufficient explanation or relevant examples. For instance, the mention of 'old kings' is vague and unsupported. Furthermore, the length requirement has not been met, as the response contains only 224 words, falling short of the 250-word minimum. This lack of full development and the under-length nature of the essay restrict the score to Band 5.0.
Coherence and Cohesion — Band 4.5
The response exhibits some organization, but there is no clear overall progression due to a lack of proper punctuation and paragraphing. The essay is essentially structured as one continuous block of text with minimal separation, making it difficult to follow. Cohesive devices are largely absent or repetitive, with basic links like 'to commence with' and 'on the other hand' used mechanically. Referencing is also unclear at times, such as 'that by which material the building was formed'. These issues place the response firmly at Band 4.5.
Lexical Resource — Band 4.0
The vocabulary used is basic and repetitive, with numerous spelling errors throughout the text, such as 'crucial' spelled as 'crusial', 'interested' as 'intrusted', 'information' as 'imformation', and 'dimension' as 'dimeshion'. While the writer attempts some topic-related vocabulary like 'monument' and 'property documents', the high frequency of word-choice errors and incorrect word forms ('gain intrust') strains the reader and impedes communication, corresponding to Band 4.0.
Grammatical Range and Accuracy — Band 4.0
The response demonstrates a very limited range of structures. Simple sentences dominate, and attempts at complex structures are consistently faulty and tangled, such as in the sentence 'whereas in few nations many individuals are becoming intrusted in getting imformation about the past of house or building there are serval reasons'. Punctuation is almost entirely missing, with run-on sentences running continuously without periods or capital letters at the beginning of sentences. Frequent and severe grammatical errors heavily distort meaning, resulting in a Band 4.0 score.
