Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 4.5

You give a clear overall view that access to supermarket food has both advantages and disadvantages, and you ultimately judge the disadvantages to be greater. The points about convenience for busy people and reduced motivation to cook are relevant to the topic. However, the response only partly addresses the specific development in the prompt: food being available from all over the world. It does not explain the effects of international food access, such as greater choice, year-round availability, or impacts on local producers. Several claims, including that people become lazy and that 80% of the next generation will become dependent on ready food, are asserted without explanation or support. Develop fewer points with specific reasoning and examples, and make the comparison behind your final judgement clearer.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 5.0

The response has a recognisable structure: an introduction, paragraphs presenting advantages and disadvantages, and a concluding opinion. Sequencing phrases such as “First Of All,” “Firstly,” and “Moreover” help signal the direction of the discussion. However, progression within paragraphs is limited, and some links are mechanical or unclear. For example, “Because Both Are Depend In Any Topic Which You See in Your Country” does not clearly connect the opening opinion to the task, while “Moreover, Its Effect So much in our life and in everyone” repeats a general point rather than advancing the argument. The conclusion restates the two-sided view but does not bring together the reasons for preferring one side. Use clearer topic sentences and connect each supporting explanation directly to its main point.

Lexical Resource: Band 4.5

You use some vocabulary relevant to the topic, including “supermarket,” “advantages,” “disadvantages,” “busy,” and “cook,” so the basic message can be followed. However, the range is limited and several words or phrases are repeated, particularly “lazy,” “disadvantages,” and “effect.” Some choices are inaccurate or unnatural, such as “both sides feedback,” “crutial,” and “vital massage,” which make parts of the argument difficult to understand. Spelling and word forms also need attention, including “additionaly” and “Facilaties.” Build a more precise set of topic words for discussing international food access, convenience, choice, and local food production. Check collocations and spelling, and choose neutral language rather than describing consumers broadly as “lazy.”

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 4.5

You attempt to express reasons and contrasts, and there are some simple sentence patterns that communicate basic ideas. However, the range of structures is very limited, and frequent errors in sentence formation, verb forms, agreement, articles, and punctuation sometimes obscure meaning. For example, “Buy Food From Supermarket Has Both Sides” lacks a clear grammatical subject and verb pattern, while “People Get Lazy Which Is Effect in the Future” does not form a correct relative clause. In “they dont get lot of time times,” the article and noun phrase are also faulty. Capitalisation and comma spacing are inconsistent throughout. Practise building accurate subject–verb sentences first, then add controlled clauses using “because,” “which,” and “although”; proofread each sentence for articles, agreement, and punctuation.
