Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 4.5

You state a position at the start—“I am fully agree”—and return to a preference for a schedule that benefits both workers and companies in the conclusion. However, the response does not develop a clear, consistent argument about whether the working week should be shorter. It shifts between disadvantages for companies, benefits for employees, and concerns about phone use, without explaining how these points support your position. The claim that workers do “13 to 14 hours” daily and have only one day off could be relevant, but it needs explanation and a specific example. The response therefore addresses the topic only minimally; develop two relevant reasons and show clearly how each supports your view. The length requirement is met; 10 words copied from the task prompt were not counted.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 4.0

The response has an opening, two body paragraphs, and a conclusion, and phrases such as “first of all,” “in the negative point of view,” and “In conclusion” show an attempt to guide the reader. However, ideas are not arranged in a clear line of reasoning: the first body paragraph moves from long working hours to company impacts and productivity, while the next introduces family time, salary, and phone use without clear links. Some references, such as “they” and “this,” do not make clear which people or effects are meant. The conclusion repeats the contrast between employers and companies rather than resolving it. Group related points together and use linking phrases to show cause, contrast, and consequence accurately.

Lexical Resource: Band 4.5

You attempt topic-related vocabulary, including “productivity,” “economic condition,” “schedule,” and “beneficial,” which shows some awareness of the subject. However, the range is basic and several word choices or collocations make the meaning difficult to follow, such as “low of productivity,” “they hamper a personal daily routine,” and “destroy of time.” Spelling and word-form errors, including “resion,” “thwre,” and “weekwnds,” also reduce clarity. Aim to learn common phrases for this topic and check spelling and word forms before submitting. More precise expressions would help you explain the effects of a shorter working week without relying on vague or repeated wording.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 4.5

You attempt both simple statements and longer sentences, and the response includes some basic linking structures. However, grammatical errors are frequent and sometimes make the intended meaning hard to understand. For example, “I am fully agree” has an incorrect verb pattern, while “the employment is work 13 to 14 hours in daily work” has problems with sentence structure and tense. Subject–verb agreement and articles are also unreliable, as in “the owner gave salary” and “there is a one schedule.” Punctuation and capitalisation are inconsistent, with several sentences running together after full stops. Practise building accurate simple sentences first, then add subordinate clauses while checking verb forms, articles, and agreement.
