Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 5.0

You give a clear overall view that this development is positive, and you identify relevant benefits: access to a wider variety of food and greater food security. The examples of buying bananas and mangoes in winter and importing food to reduce shortages help connect your ideas to the topic. However, the reasons are only briefly explained, and some points are unclear—for example, the reference to your friend Max does not show how global supermarket supplies benefit consumers. The discussion of producers’ profits and prices is also not clearly linked to your position. The response is 14 words below the required minimum, and the limited development contributes to only partial coverage of the task. Explain each benefit more fully and support it with a clear, relevant example.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 5.0

The response has an introduction, two body paragraphs and a conclusion, and the contrastive opening “On the one hand” and “On the other hand” gives the reader a basic framework. However, progression within paragraphs is often difficult to follow because ideas are joined without clear relationships. For instance, the sentence about nutrients and seasonal availability is followed by the unclear example about your friend, while the paragraph on food security shifts to producers’ profits and then foreign policy. The conclusion repeats the introduction rather than drawing the main points together. Use one main idea per paragraph, explain it in a logical sequence, and use linking phrases only where they accurately show the relationship between ideas.

Lexical Resource: Band 5.0

You use some topic-related vocabulary, including “food security,” “nutrients,” “supermarkets,” and “import-export,” which helps communicate the general subject. However, the range is limited and several inaccurate word choices or spellings make parts of the response difficult to understand, such as “supermarketer,” “fruitfull consequences,” “inhance,” and “Foriegn vital policy.” Some phrases are also unnatural, including “in relevant food prices” and “produced the global world.” Aim for accurate, natural collocations rather than adding formal-sounding words whose meaning is unclear. Check spelling carefully and choose precise expressions such as “international food trade,” “seasonal produce,” and “affordable prices” to express your ideas more clearly.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.0

You attempt both simple and longer sentence forms, but complex sentences are often faulty, and frequent errors sometimes make the intended meaning hard to follow. For example, “many supermarketer stock food in his store” has problems with number, agreement and pronoun reference, while “that will doesn’t let the shortage of food” has an incorrect verb construction. There are also recurring issues with articles, plurals and sentence boundaries, as in “people can buy variety of foods” and the long opening sentence joined by commas. Practise building accurate subject–verb–object sentences first, then add subordinate clauses with correct verb forms. Use full stops to separate complete ideas and check agreement and articles during revision.
