Student answer (Band 5.0)

It has been obserevd that,Technology improves day by day. Some individuals reckon that, in upcoming days all cars, buses and trucks will be driveless. Only individuals travelling inside these vechicles will be passengers.In my perception the benefit surpass the drawbacks but before coming to the conclusion I will elaborate the given notion in my forthcoming paragraphs with its relevant panacea.

To embark with, there are a plethora of reasons that in future the vehicles are driveless. Firstly, the improvement in technology. To explain it, new features are coming each day in every vehicle For instance, the new cars are updated with several new features such as automatic gare as well as the windows of car, buses and trucks are automatic open or closed. Secondly, artifical intteligience plays a crucial role. To elaborate it, nowadays we just have to give instruction to all our vechicle features they work in thier own such as, play song by given song name or high the volume.

Moreover, First and the foremost, in future masses have no need to pay attention on driving vihicles they just enjoy with their family. In addition, they fell more comfortable because they have no need to pay attention or feeling anxious. For instance, a survey was conducted last year by the organisation and they found that, in japan all the vehicles work in thier own they have no need to make focus while, drive something.

To recapitulate, in future there will be no need of driver in vehicles because technology works and only passengers will sit in the car and they enjoyed because of new feactures, vehicles work with instruction given by people. Individuals should do there more works in their car as well as buses.

Task Achievement / Task Response — Band 5.0

The response addresses the prompt by discussing both the nature of driverless vehicles and giving a clear position that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, focusing on convenience and technological advancement. However, the development of ideas is somewhat limited and repetitive. For instance, the discussion on advantages largely circles back to automatic features and comfort without delving deeper into economic, safety, or logistical implications. Furthermore, the inclusion of irrelevant phrases such as 'with its relevant panacea' indicates a misunderstanding of vocabulary and affects task completion. While a clear position is maintained throughout the essay, the arguments remain fairly basic and under-developed, aligning best with Band 5.0 descriptors for Task Achievement.

Coherence and Cohesion — Band 5.0

The essay demonstrates some overall organisation with an introduction, body paragraphs, and a conclusion. However, the logical progression is frequently disrupted by awkward transitions and poor paragraph structuring, such as the sudden shift into the advantages paragraph with 'Moreover, First and the foremost'. Cohesive devices are often used inaccurately or mechanically, as seen with 'To embark with' and 'To recapitulate'. Additionally, referencing is occasionally unclear, such as pronouns whose antecedents are vague. Paragraphing is attempted, but the internal flow within paragraphs lacks smooth transitions, resulting in a somewhat disjointed reading experience that matches the Band 5.0 descriptors.

Lexical Resource — Band 5.0

The vocabulary used is basic and repetitive, frequently impeded by numerous word choice and spelling errors. Examples of lexical inaccuracies include 'obserevd', 'driveless', 'vechicles', 'artifical intteligience', 'gare', and 'feactures'. The student attempts some less common vocabulary, such as 'panacea' and 'plethora', but uses them inappropriately or out of context. While the general meaning of the text can still be understood despite these errors, the lexical range is narrow, and the high frequency of spelling and morphological errors keeps the score at Band 4.5, rounded to 5.0 for minimally adequate task coverage.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy — Band 4.5

The writing contains a very limited range of sentence structures, relying heavily on simple sentences and faulty attempts at complex ones. Frequent grammatical errors occur throughout the text, including subject-verb agreement issues ('vehicles work', 'technology works'), incorrect prepositions, and awkward phrasing such as 'masses have no need to pay attention on driving vihicles they just enjoy with their family.' Punctuation is also problematic, with missing spaces after periods and comma splices. These recurring errors cause noticeable difficulty for the reader and mean the grammar falls below the Band 6 threshold, fitting best at Band 4.5, reported as 4.5.
