Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 5.0

You give a clear overall opinion in the opening and conclusion: you consider worldwide food availability a positive development. You also mention relevant benefits, including greater food variety, consumer access, trade and economic growth. However, the task is only partially addressed because these points are mostly asserted rather than explained or supported with a specific example. For instance, the claim that imported food provides “a good quality” is unclear, and the discussion of countries such as China and the USA does not show how international food sales benefit consumers or producers. Develop two main reasons in more depth, explain the cause-and-effect links, and use a concrete example to support each one.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 4.5

The response has an introduction, body paragraphs and a conclusion, and the reader can identify your general position. However, progression between ideas is difficult to follow: the first body paragraph moves from food availability to cooking and quality, while the next shifts to trade and national economies without a clear link. The repeated opening “On the one hand” is also confusing, especially as the second paragraph does not present a contrasting view. Some linking phrases, such as “Moreover” and “In contrast,” do not clearly express the relationship between the ideas that follow them. Give each paragraph one main purpose, order its supporting points logically, and use transitions that accurately show addition, contrast or result.

Lexical Resource: Band 4.5

You attempt vocabulary relevant to the topic, including “food production,” “agriculture,” “profits,” “economy” and “transport.” However, the range is limited and many spelling and word-choice errors make parts of the message difficult to understand, such as “counsmers,” “globel,” “veritiy” and “batter test.” Some combinations are also unnatural or unclear, including “food markets” and “play a crucial role marking.” Aim to use a smaller set of accurate topic-specific expressions rather than repeating broad phrases such as “play an important role.” Check spelling carefully and learn common collocations for trade, food availability and consumer choice.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 4.5

You try to connect ideas in longer sentences, for example with “Moreover” and “such as,” but sentence structures are limited and attempts at complex sentences are often faulty. Errors in sentence boundaries and clause structure appear throughout: “its a benefical for local individual and also for supermarket” is not a complete, well-formed sentence, and “In my opinion is play important role” lacks a clear subject and correct verb form. There are also recurring problems with articles, plurals and subject–verb agreement, as in “visit supermarket” and “food that come.” These errors sometimes make the intended meaning hard to follow. Practise building accurate simple sentences first, then combine them using clauses with correct subjects and verbs.
