Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 5.0

You address both questions: you suggest that people are curious about their past and describe researching through books, historical images and visits to religious or historic places. The example of your friend also attempts to show how research can reveal links between building design and climate. However, the reasons are only partly explained, and some claims—such as differences between homes of rich and poor people—are not clearly connected to why people today investigate their own homes. The research methods also need more precise explanation and relevant detail. The conclusion repeats that learning about history is valuable but does not clearly summarise the main reasons and methods. Develop each answer with a focused explanation and a specific, clearly relevant example.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 5.0

The response has a basic paragraph structure, with an introduction, a paragraph about reasons, one about research, and a conclusion. This gives the reader some sense of how the answer is organised. However, progression within paragraphs is often unclear: the discussion moves from general curiosity to rich and poor people’s homes without explaining the connection. Linking expressions such as “Therefour,” “So,” and “As a result” are repeated or do not always show the relationship between ideas accurately. Some references are also difficult to follow, particularly “from there all of the home.” To improve, organise each body paragraph around one clear point, use linking phrases only where they express the intended relationship, and make references explicit.

Lexical Resource: Band 4.5

You attempt vocabulary relevant to the topic, including “history,” “research,” “ancient books,” and “climate,” and you try to express ideas about building styles and the past. However, the range is limited and many spelling and word-choice errors make parts of the response difficult to understand, for example “intrested,” “fasilityed,” “thirt,” and “disgine.” Some phrases are also unnatural or unclear, such as “the back story about the houses” and “the historical place of there.” These issues sometimes obscure your meaning, rather than simply making the writing less polished. Build a reliable set of topic vocabulary and check spelling, word forms, and collocations; for instance, use “architectural design” and “historical records” accurately.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 4.5

You attempt both simple and longer sentences, including explanations with “because”-type relationships and examples, but control is inconsistent. Many sentences contain errors in sentence structure, verb forms, agreement, articles, and punctuation. For example, “people show the intrested about there house” lacks a correct verb pattern, while “people in the present they wanted” has an unclear subject and tense. Long sentences such as the account of your friend’s research combine several ideas without clear grammatical boundaries, making them hard to follow. Use shorter, complete sentences first, then add one controlled complex structure at a time. Check subject–verb agreement, past and present tense consistency, and sentence boundaries during revision.
