Task Achievement / Task Response — Band 4.0
The response fails to meet the minimum word count requirement of 250 words, reaching only 144 words. This significantly impacts the development of ideas, as the arguments are presented in a very superficial manner. While you attempt to address the prompt by discussing both domestic and international travel, the lack of depth and the failure to reach the required length mean that the task is only partially addressed. To improve, you must expand your arguments with specific examples and detailed explanations to ensure the response is fully developed.
Coherence and Cohesion — Band 5.0
The essay is divided into paragraphs, but the logical progression of ideas is weak. The use of cohesive devices is limited and often mechanical, such as 'To start with' and 'However'. Some transitions are confusing, such as 'otherside a group of people', which makes the flow of the argument difficult to follow. The referencing is also unclear at times, particularly in the second paragraph. To improve, focus on using a wider range of linking words and ensure that each paragraph has a clear, central topic sentence that connects logically to the next.
Lexical Resource — Band 4.5
The vocabulary is quite limited and repetitive. There are frequent errors in word choice and spelling, such as 'aura' instead of 'era', 'belive' instead of 'believe', 'abrod' instead of 'abroad', and 'warships' instead of 'worship'. These errors occasionally impede communication. You rely on basic vocabulary and struggle to express more complex ideas accurately. To improve, you should focus on learning the correct spelling of common words and expanding your range of vocabulary related to travel and tourism, ensuring you use words in their correct context.
Grammatical Range and Accuracy — Band 4.5
The response contains frequent grammatical errors that often cause difficulty for the reader. There are issues with subject-verb agreement (e.g., 'everyone have to look'), incorrect sentence structures (e.g., 'i am agree this statement'), and missing articles or prepositions. The range of structures is very limited, consisting mostly of simple sentences with errors. Punctuation is also inconsistent. To improve, you need to focus on basic sentence construction, subject-verb agreement, and the correct use of articles. Practicing the formation of complex sentences will also help you move to a higher band.
