Task Achievement / Task Response — Band 5.0
The response covers all parts of the task by reporting information from both the pie chart and the bar chart, including relevant data points such as the 48% figure for private studios and specific attendance numbers for ballet, tap, and modern dance across age groups. However, some data points are misreported or omitted—for instance, the percentage for college-based studios is incomplete ('has only covers %'), and certain descriptions of the chart features are vague. The overview at the end captures the main features adequately, but overall development is limited by awkward phrasing and slight inaccuracies in data extraction. This places the response firmly at Band 5.0.
Coherence and Cohesion — Band 5.0
The response is organised into rudimentary paragraphs, attempting an introduction, body sections, and a conclusion. However, the logical progression is hindered by informal, conversational transitional phrases like 'First of all we have a look on pie chart' and 'Second picture showes'. Cohesive devices are either missing, repetitive, or mechanically applied, and referencing is occasionally unclear ('attend this class', 'both chart'). Paragraphing is present, but internal cohesion is weak. This level of organisation aligns with Band 5.0.
Lexical Resource — Band 5.0
The vocabulary used is basic and repetitive, frequently relying on simple terms such as 'different', 'area', 'students', and 'community'. There are several noticeable lexical errors and awkward word formations, such as 'differet loaction', 'compair', 'attendent', and 'paerticipative'. The student attempts some topic-specific vocabulary (e.g. 'private studio', 'ballet', 'modern'), but the overall range is limited and inadequate for precision, causing occasional strain for the reader. This corresponds to Band 5.0.
Grammatical Range and Accuracy — Band 5.0
The writing displays a very limited range of sentence structures, with frequent grammatical errors that impede comprehension at times. Examples of errors include missing auxiliary verbs, incorrect prepositions, and faulty sentence construction (e.g. 'There is a pie char which shows...', 'college based studio has only covers %', 'Second picture showes about...'). Complex structures are rarely attempted and, when used, are typically inaccurate. Punctuation and spelling errors (e.g. 'char', 'differet', 'loaction', 'compair', 'showes', 'Ballat', 'paerticipative') are frequent, supporting a Band 4.5 or 5.0 score.
