Task Achievement / Task Response — Band 3.0
The response is significantly off-topic. The prompt asks for the causes and effects of students not choosing to study science at university, but the essay discusses the merits of mandatory driving re-tests. Because the response does not address the task question at all, it fails to meet the requirements of the prompt. Additionally, the response is under the 250-word minimum requirement, which further impacts the score. To improve, you must carefully read the prompt to ensure your ideas are relevant to the specific topic provided. You should also ensure you meet the minimum word count to allow for full development of your arguments.
Coherence and Cohesion — Band 4.0
The essay is organised into paragraphs, but the logical progression is weak due to the lack of relevance to the prompt. While some cohesive devices are used, such as 'Firstly', 'However', and 'In conclusion', they are often used mechanically or incorrectly. The referencing is sometimes unclear, and the flow of ideas is disjointed. To improve, focus on creating a clear central argument that directly relates to the prompt and use linking words more naturally to connect your ideas within and between paragraphs.
Lexical Resource — Band 4.0
The vocabulary is limited and often repetitive. There are frequent errors in word choice and collocation, such as 'visonity dise eye' and 'unhealthy people' (when referring to vision or age). The range of vocabulary is insufficient to express complex ideas clearly. To improve, you should focus on learning topic-specific vocabulary and common collocations. Reading academic texts will help you see how words are used in context and improve your ability to use more precise language.
Grammatical Range and Accuracy — Band 4.0
The essay contains frequent grammatical errors that often impede communication. There are issues with subject-verb agreement (e.g., 'Some individuals belive'), article usage, and sentence structure (e.g., 'get every one hard driving licence so long queues'). Complex sentence structures are attempted but are often faulty or incomplete. To improve, focus on mastering basic sentence construction, including correct verb tenses and subject-verb agreement, before attempting more complex structures. Proofreading for basic punctuation and capitalization errors will also help improve your score.
