Student answer (Band 5.0)
Nowadays, every year in Bangladesh approximately 10,000 children death for polluted water. Some people think that access to clean water is a basic humain right, therefore every home should have a water supply that is porvide free of charge. I agree with this statement, becasue clean water is very essentail part of every human life.
On the one hand, water is nessessray part of people for daily need. Government employ per month demand huge amount of bill for water, that's why poor familly are not receved clean water. If government provide clean water free of charge, all class of people clam clean water. For example, in Bangladesh most of the child suffer health issue because they not found clean wate for money. Furthremore, children to oldest every types of individuals survive with out clean wate. Therefore, created lot's of health problem like melariya, nemunia others.
On the second hand, rural area in every country they not found properly any clean water sourece. For instance, in Inida is very develop country but therefor thousand of population death for clean water. If government spent huge money for there citizens they survive easily without any health issue. In rural areas they are not well stablished, if government provide clean water for there people they avoid health risk and also survive happily.
In conclusion, although public demand is high but clean water is a basic human right, in my opinion, government defiently provide water supply every home without any charge beacasue clean water is essential part of any sigle life.

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 5.5
Your position is clear: you agree that households should receive clean water without charge, and you give relevant reasons involving affordability and health. The examples about poor families and rural communities in Bangladesh and India help connect the argument to real circumstances. However, these points are often asserted rather than explained: for instance, the claim that free provision would let “all class of people” access clean water needs a clearer explanation of how this would work and who would fund it. The response also falls five words short of the 250-word minimum; the 11 words copied from the task prompt are not counted. Develop each main reason with a specific explanation or example, and ensure the response meets the required length.
Coherence and Cohesion: Band 5.5
The response has a recognisable structure, with an introduction, two body paragraphs and a conclusion. The paragraphs also broadly separate affordability and health from rural access, while signposts such as “On the one hand,” “On the second hand,” and “In conclusion” make the stages visible. However, progression within paragraphs is sometimes difficult to follow: the first body paragraph moves from water bills to children’s health and then to diseases without clearly showing the links between these ideas. Some transitions are mechanical, and references such as “they” in “they not found properly any clean water” are unclear. Organise each paragraph around one main claim, then explain and illustrate it in a logical sequence, using linking phrases only where they clarify the relationship.
Lexical Resource: Band 4.5
You use a small set of relevant terms, including “basic human right,” “free of charge,” “rural areas,” and “health risk,” so the topic is generally identifiable. However, vocabulary is limited and repeated, especially “clean water,” “government,” and “people,” while frequent spelling and word-choice errors make parts of the argument difficult to understand. Examples include “humain,” “porvide,” “clam,” and “stablished”; phrases such as “all class of people” and “huge amount of bill” are also unnatural. These issues fit a basic, repetitive range with errors that can strain the reader. Build a bank of accurate topic vocabulary and check spelling and collocations, rather than trying to use more ambitious words before you can use them reliably.
Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.0
You attempt both simple statements and longer sentences, including a conditional idea in “If government provide clean water free of charge…,” and the overall meaning can usually be followed. However, the range is limited, and attempts to connect clauses often contain errors. For example, “every year … children death” lacks a correctly formed verb, while “If government provide” and “they not found” have incorrect verb forms. There are also recurring problems with articles, agreement and sentence construction, as in “water is nessessray part” and “rural area in every country they not found.” These frequent errors sometimes make the reader work to understand the intended meaning. Practise accurate subject–verb patterns and build longer sentences from correctly formed clauses.
