Task Achievement / Task Response — Band 6.0

The response addresses both parts of the prompt: the benefits of outsourcing tasks for employment and the importance of personal involvement in domestic duties. The position is clear throughout. However, the development of ideas is somewhat inconsistent. While the first body paragraph touches on job creation, the explanation is slightly repetitive and lacks specific, well-developed examples. The second paragraph regarding personal involvement is more focused, but the argument could be strengthened by providing more concrete real-world examples rather than general statements. Overall, the response covers all requirements but would benefit from more depth in the supporting arguments.

Coherence and Cohesion — Band 6.5

The essay is organised into logical paragraphs, each with a clear central topic. Cohesive devices such as 'To commence', 'Moreover', 'However', and 'To resume' are used to guide the reader. However, there are instances where the flow is slightly mechanical or awkward, such as the transition in the second paragraph ('As, they are ensured...'). Additionally, some referencing is unclear, and the use of punctuation (specifically commas) occasionally disrupts the logical progression of sentences. Despite these minor issues, the overall structure is coherent and the progression of ideas is generally easy to follow.

Lexical Resource — Band 6.0

The range of vocabulary is adequate for the task, with attempts to use topic-specific language like 'ameliorate', 'nurturing', and 'instill'. However, there are frequent spelling errors ('personnes', 'facilite', 'creat', 'amony', 'bothe', 'employes', 'walkers') and some awkward word choices ('desist people to earn their living'). These errors do not prevent understanding, but they do indicate a lack of control over more complex vocabulary. To reach a higher band, you should focus on accurate spelling and more precise collocations to convey your ideas more naturally.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy — Band 5.5

The essay uses a mix of simple and complex sentence structures. While there is an attempt to use complex sentences, they are often marred by grammatical errors, such as 'people consider people should these duties' and 'children are taken care by their parents, can instill'. There are also frequent issues with subject-verb agreement and missing articles. While the meaning is generally clear, the frequency of these errors means that the writing does not consistently demonstrate error-free complex structures. Focusing on basic sentence construction and proofreading for grammatical slips would help improve this score.
