Student answer (Band 6.0)

Many countries are doing business around the world and every corner of the world, which simply lead to people know about the other coutries product. As many countries start doing trade over the decade, which facilitate them to sell their product everywhere. In today's time it is not uncommon to see other nation food produced in other countries, avaiability increased in the supermarket. I believe that it is good change, and i will explain my further viewpoint in susbequent paragraph.

On the one hand, Consumer are habitual of buying food product of other country from the supermarket. It is frequent nowadays, people are eating and consuming other countries product. As this shows many benefits like companies are expanding their product, targeting new audience, and generating more revenue, all these are perspective from the business point of view. From the consumer side, it is considered good too since many consumer are more active on social media and they want to try different countries food to fulfill their craving for the food. Convenience matter, people don't have to travel all over to the country to try their food, it is cost saving. People got know about the other country too like this way. It is positively affect the consumer behaviour. This shows the modernisation among them. For instance, a person who is living abroad and want to eat their own country food, they can easily find all of them to supermarket. As it saves cost. These all factors are appraise as the positive development.

On the other hand, people argue that it also have negative development like most of the food from the other country is processed food, because it save the time of the person. They are considered less healthy, and for some person it is not cost effective, as price higher for taxes on the food product. So, these aspects shows the negatigve development of the food product avaiable in the supermarket.

In conclusion, countries are growing their food product rapidly inthe other countries, which overall steer to positive development. Despite having some negative development are present there. From my experience they have more positive development.

AI examiner evaluation

Task Achievement / Task Response — Band 6.0

The response addresses the prompt by discussing the availability of global food products and taking a clear position. However, the development of ideas is somewhat superficial. While you mention business benefits and consumer convenience, the arguments lack depth and specific examples. For instance, the mention of 'modernisation' is vague, and the example of a person living abroad is not fully connected to the broader implications of the topic. To improve, you should expand on your points with more detailed explanations and concrete evidence to better support your position throughout the essay.

Coherence and Cohesion — Band 6.0

The essay is organised into paragraphs, which helps the reader follow the structure. However, the use of cohesive devices is often mechanical or inaccurate. Phrases like 'all these are perspective from the business point of view' and 'these all factors are appraise as the positive development' feel disjointed. Additionally, the transition between ideas is sometimes abrupt, and referencing is occasionally unclear. To reach a higher band, focus on using a wider variety of linking words more naturally and ensure that each sentence flows logically from the previous one.

Lexical Resource — Band 5.5

The vocabulary is generally adequate for the task but lacks the precision and range required for higher bands. There are several instances of awkward phrasing and word choice errors, such as 'consumer are habitual of buying' instead of 'accustomed to buying' and 'steer to positive development' instead of 'leads to a positive development'. Spelling errors like 'coutries', 'avaiability', and 'negatigve' also detract from the quality of the writing. To improve, focus on learning collocations and refining your use of academic vocabulary.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy — Band 5.5

The essay contains a mix of simple and complex sentence structures, but there are frequent errors in grammar and punctuation that occasionally impede readability. Common issues include subject-verb agreement ('many consumer are', 'these aspects shows'), missing articles, and incorrect verb forms ('people got know about'). While the meaning is generally clear, these persistent errors prevent the writing from reaching a higher level of accuracy. You should practice proofreading your work to catch basic grammatical slips and focus on mastering subject-verb agreement and article usage.
