Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 5.0
The response attempts to address the prompt regarding the advantages and disadvantages of driverless vehicles, taking a clear stance that the disadvantages outweigh the advantages due to safety concerns and lifestyle impacts. However, the task is significantly compromised by failing the minimum word count requirement, coming in at only 205 words against the required 250 words. Consequently, the ideas are under-developed and limited, leading to a Band 5.0 score for Task Achievement.
Coherence and Cohesion: Band 5.0
The text lacks clear overall progression and suffers from inadequate paragraphing and punctuation control. Run-on sentences make it difficult to follow the logical links between ideas. Cohesive devices are minimal or misused, such as the abrupt transitions between sentences like 'It wil affect the health of individual so brutly.' and 'Additionally such behaviour...'. Therefore, the coherence and cohesion of the response aligns with Band 5.0.
Lexical Resource: Band 4.5
The vocabulary used is basic and repetitive, with numerous spelling errors such as 'ipressing', 'conception', 'saftey', 'machnery', 'sciece', 'sedantary', 'stubirn', 'schol', and 'facinating'. While the student attempts some less common terms like 'sedentary life style', the high frequency of lexical and spelling errors impedes smooth communication and restricts the lexical score to a Band 4.5, rounded to 5.0 according to standard half-band practices, or strictly a Band 4.5 representation.
Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 4.0
The grammatical range is extremely limited, relying heavily on simple or poorly constructed complex sentences. There are frequent, severe errors in punctuation, capitalization, and verb tense agreement, such as 'which would be went out of work' and 'the whether outside is damn very dangerous his will affect'. These frequent errors frequently cause difficulty for the reader, fitting the Band 4.0 descriptors closely.
