Task Achievement / Task Response — Band 3.0
The response attempts to address the prompt by mentioning reasons why people are interested in the history of their homes and how they can research this, noting that it is fascinating and that people can use the internet. However, the text is severely underdeveloped and cuts off after only 107 words, which drastically falls short of the 250-word minimum requirement for Task 2. This under-length severely limits the development of ideas, resulting in an incomplete response. Consequently, the score is significantly affected by the failure to satisfy the basic length requirement, aligning with the lower band descriptors where the task is only partially or minimally addressed.
Coherence and Cohesion — Band 4.0
The text lacks clear overall progression and logical paragraphing. Sentences are disjointed, and the essay breaks down into isolated fragments. Cohesive devices are either missing or misused, as seen in the abrupt transitions and fragmented sentences like 'In this essay.I will disscuss about why people wants to knoe history...'. Paragraphing is not used effectively, with the second paragraph consisting of just one broken sentence. While the writer attempts to introduce an essay structure, the lack of a cohesive framework prevents ideas from flowing logically. Referencing is unclear, and the overall arrangement fails to meet the standards for higher bands.
Lexical Resource — Band 4.0
The vocabulary used is very basic and repetitive, with frequent spelling errors such as 'thier', 'facinating', 'homw', 'disscuss', 'peopple', 'foolowung', 'satisfif', and 'whp'. The range of vocabulary is extremely limited and inadequate for an academic task. Words are often misused or misspelled to the point that they strain the reader's comprehension. There are no examples of less common lexical items used accurately, and the persistent spelling and word-choice errors reflect a limited lexical resource.
Grammatical Range and Accuracy — Band 4.0
The grammatical range is very limited, consisting mostly of simple or flawed sentence structures. There are frequent, heavy errors in grammar, punctuation, and capitalization, such as 'A growing amount of individual believed', 'so thy wanted to know', and 'In this essay.I will disscuss'. Subject-verb agreement is frequently violated, and sentence boundaries are incorrectly punctuated with periods in the middle of clauses. These frequent errors distort meaning and make the text difficult to read, matching the characteristics of a lower band score.
