In many countries nowadays, consumers can go to a supermarket and buy food produced all over the world.

Do you think this is a positive or negative development?

Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

Student answer (Band 5.0)

Nowdays every think is avalable in the market, People have to go to market and buy it all the products are avalable in the market. According to my view I strongly believe that is positive development for every person, I also mention example for my own knowledge or experience.

There are plenthora of reason for my agreement .The first and foremost view is thatperson have more opprtunity is get a food from one place. They have no need visit a diffrent place for get the items. To illustrate, Supermarket have a all the product reletared to food or medicine , so peronal only go for one place and thay getting all the goods form there. Thhe another reason is that saving a time , if person only go for one palce then they also save a timeand didnot want to going to every where and waste the time. Futhermore, it is worth noting is that,all the food items are avalable so person have opportunity to get all the product.Some time all the food items are not avalable in local market so they are facing a stuggle for the searching a items , but now because of super market every think is ready in this market.

Futhermore , It is worth noting is that ther are also some negative impect on the local market, They have very few opprtunity to earn money, Nowdays becuase of the super market they have very few think to earn money. The another think is that local markets are facing a lots of struggle in the market.

In conclution, With use of super market people have more facities such as save the time, They did not want to go every where and they can getting more food . But also there are local market facing a struggle in the industy and thay have less earn think.

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 5.0

The response addresses the task partially, expressing a clear position that global food availability in supermarkets is a positive development. However, the ideas are limited and under-developed. For instance, the writer briefly mentions that people save time and have more opportunities to get food, but these points are supported with vague generalisations rather than detailed explanations or fully realised examples. The attempt to provide an example ("I also mention example for my own knowledge or experience") lacks specific content. Furthermore, the counter-argument regarding local markets is introduced in the third paragraph but remains superficial and lacks adequate elaboration, which is characteristic of this level.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 5.0

There is some basic organisation present, with the text divided into paragraphs reflecting an introduction, body, counter-argument, and conclusion. However, there is no clear overall progression throughout the essay. Cohesive devices are frequently inadequate, inaccurate, or overused, leading to a repetitive structure. For example, the phrases "Futhermore , It is worth noting is that" and repetitious transitions such as "The another think" or "The another reason" are used mechanically. Paragraphing is attempted, but internal logical links between sentences are often strained, making the flow disjointed for the reader.

Lexical Resource: Band 4.5

The vocabulary used is limited and minimally adequate for the task, with a high density of noticeable errors in spelling, word choice, and word formation that cause some difficulty for the reader. There are persistent basic spelling mistakes throughout the text, such as "Nowdays", "avalable", "plenthora", "opprtunity", "diffrent", "reletared", "peronal", "futhermore", and "conclution". Attempts to use less common vocabulary, such as "plenthora of reason", result in noticeable inaccuracies in collocation and form, showing that lexical control is restricted to very basic terms.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 4.5

The writing demonstrates a very limited range of structures, relying primarily on simple sentences or faulty attempts at complex ones. There are frequent grammatical errors involving verb forms, tenses, subject-verb agreement, and articles. Examples include "every think is avalable", "person have more opprtunity is get a food", "Supermarket have a all the product", and "they didnot want to going". Punctuation and sentence boundaries are also handled poorly, with run-on ideas and incorrect capitalization after commas. These frequent errors cause considerable difficulty and strain for the reader.
