Student answer (Band 5.0)

In the modern era, most of the people are truely facinated to the regions history. Many individuals countries people try to undersand their past also they are very much concern about their heritage and old stuctural building where they lived in.

Generally speaking, many individuals very much attracted to historical building because nowadays it added their value for their structure, story, position also popularity. People also try to found something new which is the centre poin of visitors. Moreover, building's previous history added their personality and own teste. Many people like to stay in antic places which made of archaeological structure follow upward trend. they are pationate this type of history also it is one of the greatest business policy. For example, a few people always found mixed of historical building for made a tourist destinations, individuals are atracted for that hisoty and they profit a lot. But in my country most of the historical stuctrure are lease by government and it control by cities authour. This is the profitable sector to make money and it control by parlament. This sector goverment earnd huge amount of money for the reason it is a tourist attractions.

However, people analysis different way of buildings history such as collect data from website, buildings degins, seaching of internet also communicate with native people. Besides, historical buildings record remains the government peole interest to investigate all of things because they try to become ensure is it genuine.

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 5.0

You address both questions: you suggest that interest comes from heritage, a building’s story and its appeal to visitors, and you mention websites, design records and local people as research sources. However, the reasons are not always clearly connected to why residents want to investigate their own homes. Much of the first body paragraph shifts to tourism, government leasing and profit, which makes the response only partially focused on the task. The research section is brief and gives little explanation of how these sources could be used or checked. To strengthen the response, explain a few relevant motives—such as curiosity, renovation plans or preserving family history—and develop practical research steps with a specific example.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 5.5

The response has a recognisable structure, with an opening, separate paragraphs for reasons and research, and a concluding summary. Connectors such as “Moreover,” “However” and “To sum up” help signal movement between points. However, progression within the main paragraph is difficult to follow: ideas about a building’s value, tourist attractions, government control and national income are placed together without clear links. Some references, such as “it” in the discussion of government control, are also unclear. The conclusion repeats the idea of heritage rather than bringing the two task questions together. Group related points, use topic sentences, and make each sentence’s connection to the previous one explicit.

Lexical Resource: Band 5.0

You attempt vocabulary relevant to the topic, including “heritage,” “historical,” “archaeological,” “tourist attractions” and “investigate.” These choices show an effort to discuss buildings and their past, but the usable range is limited and several word choices or collocations make meaning unclear, such as “added their personality,” “found mixed of historical building” and “buildings history.” Spelling errors—including “truely,” “facinated” and “stuctural”—also occur often enough to distract the reader. Aim for accurate, natural combinations such as “historical significance,” “research a building’s past” and “attract visitors.” Check spelling and word forms carefully, and prefer clear phrasing over ambitious expressions whose meaning is uncertain.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.0

You use some longer sentence forms, including clauses introduced by “because,” “which” and “that,” and the overall meaning can usually be followed. However, the range is limited, and attempts at complex sentences are often faulty. For example, “many individuals very much attracted” lacks a finite verb, while “it control by parlament” has an incorrect verb form and passive construction. There are also recurring problems with articles, agreement and sentence boundaries, as in “a tourist destinations” and the run-on sequence beginning “For example, a few people always found…”. Build accuracy first with complete subject–verb sentences, then combine ideas using correctly formed clauses. Review articles, singular/plural agreement and punctuation.
