Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 5.0

You identify a relevant cause—limited university facilities and practical materials—and suggest a possible consequence: students leave to study elsewhere, depriving their home country of talented graduates. However, the response only partially answers the question. The causes are not explored beyond inadequate facilities, and the effects on society are mostly asserted rather than explained; for example, “most of the countries remain unsuccessful” is broad and unsupported. The discussion also shifts between students’ personal disappointment and societal effects without clearly distinguishing them. Develop a second cause, such as perceptions of science careers or the difficulty of science courses, and explain specific social consequences, such as skills shortages or slower technological development, using a relevant example.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 5.0

The response has an introduction, separate body paragraphs and a conclusion, so the reader can identify its basic structure. The paragraphs also broadly correspond to causes and effects. However, progression within them is limited, and several linking phrases feel mechanical or do not clarify the relationship between ideas. Repeated openings such as “In this paragraph I will discuss” take the place of direct topic sentences, while “Moreover” introduces a long, unclear sequence of points. References such as “their” and “this reason” are not always easy to follow. Use a clear topic sentence for each paragraph, then organise each point as cause or effect, explanation and example. Vary linking devices and make pronoun references explicit.

Lexical Resource: Band 5.0

You use some vocabulary relevant to the topic, including “facilities,” “practical materials,” “educational environment” and “funds.” This gives you a basic means of discussing university science education. However, the range is limited and several word choices or collocations make meaning difficult to follow, such as “the grownig influence,” “the ratio … arounds 80 millions students” and “became a bright future.” Spelling errors, including “universties,” “availibilty” and “stuents,” also reduce clarity. Aim for precise, natural phrases and check spelling carefully. For instance, describe students as “choosing to study science,” and explain that inadequate facilities may lead to “a shortage of qualified science graduates” rather than saying a country becomes unsuccessful.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.0

You attempt both simple and longer sentences, including a sentence beginning “when students are disappoint from their universities,” but complex structures are often faulty and frequent errors sometimes make the message hard to interpret. Examples include the opening fragment, “The grownig influence in many countries that students are not enough to study science,” and agreement errors such as “students has.” Verb forms and sentence boundaries are also inconsistent: “students are disappoint” and “In this paragraph.I will discuss” need correction. Practise building complete sentences with a clear subject and verb, and check agreement, articles, tense and punctuation. For example: “Students may choose other subjects because their universities lack well-equipped laboratories.”
