Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 5.0
The response addresses all parts of the prompt by identifying reasons why people research the history of their homes and explaining the research methods available. The student mentions construction shapes, personal connections, and property value as reasons, and lists sources like government records, previous owners, and online databases. However, the ideas remain underdeveloped and repetitive, lacking depth and specific elaboration. For instance, the mention of family connections and property value is fleeting and stated without clear supporting examples. This places the task response at Band 5.0.
Coherence and Cohesion: Band 5.0
The essay is divided into paragraphs, which establishes a basic structure. However, the logical progression is frequently disrupted by poor transitions and repetitive phrasing. Cohesive devices are minimal, mechanical, or inaccurate, such as using 'another is, talk to previous owner' or repetitive sentence starters like 'therefore'. Paragraphing is attempted, but the conclusion is abrupt, poorly formed, and contains incoherent ideas that fail to summarise the main points effectively. These structural and cohesive weaknesses correspond to a Band 4.5, rounded to a stable 5.0 band descriptor level.
Lexical Resource: Band 5.0
The vocabulary is basic and repetitive, frequently relying on simple terms such as 'house', 'learn', 'history', and 'information'. There are numerous spelling and word-choice errors, such as 'convienced', 'surce', 'convient', 'photograps', 'ues', and 'cinvienent'. While the student attempts less common lexical items related to the topic like 'government property record' and 'historical database', the high frequency of errors and limited range restrict the score. The vocabulary is minimally adequate for the task, fitting the Band 4.5 to 5.0 range closely.
Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 4.5
The response shows a very limited range of grammatical structures. Simple sentences predominate, and attempts at complex forms are frequently faulty or ungrammatical, as seen in 'individuals have becoming interest' and 'if we can dreaming aout it than we a an achive it'. Punctuation is largely neglected, with missing capitalisation at the start of sentences and incorrect spacing or spelling within words. Frequent errors in verb forms, subject-verb agreement, and sentence construction cause considerable difficulty for the reader throughout the text. This aligns with Band 4.5, supported by the frequent grammatical breakdown.
