Task Achievement / Task Response — Band 5.0
The response addresses both parts of the prompt, but the development of ideas is inconsistent. While you provide reasons for the trend, the argument regarding whether it is positive or negative is underdeveloped. You state it is a 'positive trend' but the supporting points—such as learning about waste materials or creating content for money—do not clearly link back to the core issue of people failing to look at the place they are visiting. The explanation is often tangential, focusing more on the features of specific gardens rather than the psychological or social implications of the behavior described in the prompt.
Coherence and Cohesion — Band 5.0
The essay is organized into paragraphs, but the flow of ideas is frequently disrupted by awkward phrasing and a lack of clear logical progression. While you use transition words like 'first of all' and 'secondly', the internal structure of the paragraphs is weak. Sentences often feel disconnected, and the referencing is sometimes unclear, making it difficult for the reader to follow your line of reasoning. The conclusion is also quite abrupt and does not effectively synthesize the arguments presented in the body paragraphs.
Lexical Resource — Band 5.0
The vocabulary is limited and repetitive. There are frequent errors in word choice and collocation, such as 'searching about the place' instead of 'learning about' or 'exploring', and 'without do not how this place look like'. You rely on basic vocabulary, and there is little evidence of an attempt to use less common or more precise lexical items. Spelling errors, such as 'Thesedays' and 'oue', also detract from the overall quality of the writing.
Grammatical Range and Accuracy — Band 5.0
The essay contains a high frequency of grammatical errors, including issues with subject-verb agreement ('most of people'), article usage, and sentence structure. Many sentences are fragmented or run-on, which hinders readability. While there is an attempt to use complex structures, these are often faulty, such as 'in order they watched a number of videos'. Punctuation is also inconsistent, particularly with spacing around commas and periods. These errors are frequent and occasionally cause difficulty for the reader.
