Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 5.0

You address both causes and effects, and the response stays focused on the issue of science study. The main cause you identify is a shortage of university professors, while the effects include reduced scientific knowledge, migration, and harm to the workforce and economy. However, the explanation of why students avoid science is not clearly established: the discussion shifts to professors’ salaries and teaching choices rather than explaining students’ decisions. Several effects are also asserted without showing how they follow, and the conclusion introduces solutions even though the task asks for causes and effects. Develop a small number of relevant points with clearer explanations and examples.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 5.0

The response has an introduction, separate body paragraphs, and a conclusion, so there is some basic organisation. The first body paragraph focuses mainly on a possible cause, and the next discusses social effects. However, progression within paragraphs is difficult to follow because ideas are joined in long, unclear sequences. For example, the movement from professors’ employment choices to students’ attitudes and then to universities’ course provision is not clearly signposted. Connectors such as “As a result” and “secondly” are used, but the relationships they indicate are sometimes unclear or repetitive. Use one central point per paragraph, arrange its explanation and example in order, and make references such as “this issue” precise.

Lexical Resource: Band 4.5

You attempt vocabulary relevant to the topic, including “shortage,” “research,” “opportunities,” “economy,” and “infrastructure.” These choices show an effort to discuss education and society, but the range is limited and many word-choice, collocation, and spelling errors make parts difficult to understand. Phrases such as “negative impact in student mind,” “mainpower in community,” and “government economy is down” are not natural or precise. Frequent misspellings, including “professer,” “socity,” and “knowledged,” also reduce clarity. Build accuracy with common academic collocations before trying more ambitious wording; for example, use “shortage of qualified lecturers” and “a weaker economy.”

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.0

You use some simple sentences and attempt longer structures with “because,” “while,” and “as a result,” but the longer sentences are often faulty, and frequent errors can make the meaning difficult to follow. Examples include “students can not choose to study science at university has become” and “many university can not studying science courses,” where clause structure and verb forms are not controlled. There are also recurring problems with articles, plurals, and subject–verb agreement, as in “many young student” and “government economy is down.” Sentence boundaries and punctuation are inconsistent, including the lowercase start of the first body paragraph. Practise building accurate simple sentences first, then combine them using one clear subordinate clause.
