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)

As a world getting advance everything can happened a world which has more development as well as in supermarket also .

I largely agree that the supermarket should put the produced from all over the world cause it will help the international people who are living in other country for a job and study.

Howevwr to bring the product from all over the world it might cost expensive to the person because to bring the food from one country to others country. it can take long time and the transportation cost cab be expensive for a international students it will be more cost than the food which is production in their own country.as a result a normal student who has less income from part time jobs could not afford the food from their own country.

I belived bringing the food from all over is the best decision for a country like who has international people more cause it will help the market profit rise furthermore public can eat the dish from like their country. because the person who just went a new country cannot accept their food test and he /she might face problem of eating.

In conclusion it has positive impact in global market because if the country help the international student and a worker. the country has good relationship can have good economic in country .it help to rise and development of socio economic of both country.

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 5.0

You take a position, saying that access to international food is positive, and give relevant reasons: it can help people living abroad and may benefit the market. However, the response only partially develops the question. The discussion focuses mainly on international students and workers, while broader effects on consumers and food choice are not explored. The point that imported food may be expensive is relevant, but its connection to your overall positive view is not fully explained. The conclusion repeats the economic and social benefits rather than drawing together the argument. The response is also 11 words below the required minimum. To strengthen it, explain each reason with a specific example and address the costs alongside the benefits.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 5.0

The response has an introduction, two body paragraphs and a conclusion, so there is some basic organisation. The ideas are generally related to the topic, and transitions such as “However,” “as a result,” and “In conclusion” signal relationships between points. However, progression is not consistently clear: the paragraph about cost is difficult to connect to the stated positive position, and the next paragraph shifts to market profit and homesickness without a clear link. Some sentences run together, while full stops and capitalisation are inconsistent, making relationships between ideas harder to follow. Use one main point per paragraph, explain how each point supports your position, and use referencing and transitions accurately rather than relying on a few repeated linkers.

Lexical Resource: Band 5.0

You use some topic-related vocabulary, including “transportation cost,” “international students,” “market profit,” and “economic,” which helps communicate the general subject. However, the range is limited and several word choices or collocations are inaccurate, sometimes making the meaning unclear. For example, “the produced” does not naturally mean food products, “food test” appears to mean food taste, and “rise and development of socio economic” is difficult to interpret. Spelling errors such as “Howevwr” and “belived” also affect clarity. Build a more precise set of phrases for discussing imported food, affordability and consumer choice, and check spelling and collocations. For instance, use “imported products” and “the cost of transportation.”

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.0

You attempt both simple and more complex sentences, including a cause-and-effect structure with “as a result” and a conditional idea beginning “if the country help.” However, complex attempts are often faulty, and frequent errors in sentence structure, verb forms, agreement, articles and plurals can make the reader work to understand your meaning. Examples include “As a world getting advance,” “it might cost expensive,” and “the country has good relationship can have good economic.” Several sentences also lack clear boundaries or use punctuation inconsistently. Practise building accurate subject–verb–object sentences first, then add subordinate clauses with correct verb forms and articles. Proofread each sentence for a clear subject, verb and complete thought.
