Student answer (Band 5.0)

In many countries nowadays, consumers can go to a supermarket and buy food produced all over the world. i strongly agree with statement supermarket is a positive development because it is convient and easy in suppermarket everything has easy available.

Firstly, Today supermarket is very conivent and easy to reach because it location are very accessable. every one can reach through map becuase supermaret available on map. other advantage is that people who are busy in their work or school schedue they can easily purchase thing only on one supermarket . they can not need to but different product from different . all products are easily available on one store. which is good thing . in these supermarket the orginal product is available . econimic is boost from suppermarket becuase they create employement in the area and it is also benefical for governement because government impose the tax on these supermarket

Secondly, Positive thing is that supermarkets are available in every cities so we do not need to travell long distance to buy thing Supermarket is hub of product, people can buy grocery , household items, spices , vegetables, fruits comestic products , medicines , clothing even fashion accessory are also availabl. the student can get any types of books can buy from supermarket.

Even though in Pakistan there many supermarkets are available for example metro , cash and carry shaheen and dawtson these markets are top and people can easily reach o these stores and these stores are available twenty for hours any body can buy from these store.

I like to shopping in these store becuase you can find any thing without so much struugle. Howver some disadventage of supermarket also has the cost of product is very high if we go to local shop then same thing peice is lower but in these supermarket price is hight other drawback is that for making a large super market they cut tree and destory natural area

In conclusion the supermarket is more benefical today everyone . because they can easily access all food produce all over the world

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 5.0

You give a clear overall preference for supermarkets, stating that they are a “positive development,” and you include relevant points about convenience, employment, tax revenue and product choice. You also acknowledge drawbacks, including higher prices and damage to natural areas, which shows awareness of both sides. However, the response only partially addresses the specific issue of food produced all over the world: most examples concern supermarkets and the range of goods they sell, rather than the benefits or consequences of access to imported food. Several points, such as supermarket locations and opening hours, are asserted without explanation. Develop the central argument with specific examples of how international food availability affects consumers, producers or diets, and explain why the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 5.0

The response has an introduction, two main body paragraphs and a conclusion, and signposting such as “Firstly,” “Secondly” and “In conclusion” helps readers identify the broad structure. However, the ideas do not build a clear overall progression: the first body paragraph moves from location and maps to convenience, employment and tax, while the second lists many unrelated products before giving local examples. Some connections are unclear, as in “the student can get any types of books can buy from supermarket,” and punctuation sometimes makes sentence boundaries difficult to follow. The contrast beginning “Even though” is not completed as a clear concessive sentence. Group related points, use each paragraph to develop one main reason, and connect examples explicitly to your position.

Lexical Resource: Band 5.0

You use a range of topic-related vocabulary, including “employment,” “tax,” “household items,” “natural area” and “drawback,” and the reader can generally understand your intended meaning. However, the range is limited by repeated words such as “easy,” “available,” “thing” and “supermarket,” and several choices or spellings make the message less clear, including “conivent,” “original product” and “price is hight.” Some phrases are also imprecise, such as “supermarket is hub of product.” Aim for accurate, natural collocations and more precise terms when discussing international food, for example “imported produce” or “year-round availability.” Proofreading spelling and varying repeated vocabulary would make your ideas easier to follow.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.0

You attempt both simple statements and longer sentences, and the reader can usually identify your main points. However, the range of sentence structures is limited, and attempts to combine ideas often produce frequent errors that can make reading difficult. Examples include “it location are very accessable,” “they can not need to but different product,” and “in Pakistan there many supermarkets are available.” These show problems with agreement, sentence construction, articles and plural forms. Sentence boundaries and punctuation are also inconsistent, particularly where several ideas run together without full stops. Practise building accurate simple sentences first, then combine them using clauses such as “because” or “although.” Check subject–verb agreement, articles and plural nouns during revision.
