Student answer (Band 5.0)
In this contemporary era, most of the preple can go to supermarket and buy varity of food and products which made buy another countries. I believe that it is positive development for everyone, which will be explained in the subsequent fragments.
On the one hand, due to globalisation in many market provide another country products, including clothes, foods, and drinks, and also electronic device which show that in this world, many kind of eating products available. Moreover, people can buy food from different countries. In addition, the primary advantages, it provide variety of choices and food. For instance, Indian people can buy Italian food and also Chinese. In their local restaurant. And taste different. Kind of foods.
Another key point to consider is that it also helps to connect globally through buy and sale process and also people can eat a different kind of fruits which did not produced in their country such as kiwi and strawberry. This food is transported by ship from New Zealand. Therefore, people who like to foreign food, they enjoy in their own country and it is easy to make healthy and save too much time instead of home-made food, which consume too much time for making and preparing such as sandwich, burger and also egg fry. These kind of food easy make and save time and also provide good energy consume less oil with good protein and strength.
In conclusion, through globalisation, inhabitants can buy food from different countries and taste in their own country. This development has more positive points than negative consequences.

Task Achievement / Task Response — Band 5.0
The response addresses the prompt by taking a clear position that the availability of global food in supermarkets is a positive development. Ideas are presented, such as variety of choice and global connection, but they are often under-developed and repetitive. For instance, the mention of kiwi and strawberry being transported from New Zealand supports the argument, but the subsequent tangent regarding home-made food taking too much time and the benefits of sandwiches and burgers detracts from the main thesis. While all parts of the task are addressed, the support lacks full extension and tends to generalise. This places the response comfortably at Band 5.0.
Coherence and Cohesion — Band 5.0
There is a basic logical organisation with an introduction, body paragraphs marked by signposts like 'On the one hand' and 'Another key point to consider', and a conclusion. However, progression is frequently disrupted by awkward sentence boundaries, such as fragmenting sentences with incorrect full stops ('...their local restaurant. And taste different. Kind of foods.'). Cohesive devices are sometimes inaccurate or repetitive, and referencing is occasionally unclear. Paragraphing is attempted, but internal cohesion within the paragraphs is weak, resulting in an overall arrangement that corresponds to a Band 5.0.
Lexical Resource — Band 5.0
The vocabulary used is basic and repetitive, featuring frequent word choice and collocation errors, such as 'preple' instead of people, 'varity', and 'made buy another countries'. While the writer attempts some less common vocabulary like 'globalisation', 'subsequent fragments', and 'transported', the execution shows noticeable errors that occasionally cause difficulty for the reader, such as 'buy and sale process'. These limitations in range and precision are characteristic of Band 5.0.
Grammatical Range and Accuracy — Band 5.0
The writer attempts a mix of simple and complex sentence forms, but control is weak. There are frequent grammatical errors, including subject-verb agreement issues ('this food is transported... they enjoy', 'which did not produced'), incorrect prepositions ('produced in their country'), and severe punctuation errors that create sentence fragments. These frequent errors can cause difficulty for the reader, though meaning can generally still be deciphered. This performance aligns with a Band 5.0 for grammar.
