Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 5.0

Your position is clear in the opening: “I completely agree,” and you give relevant reasons connected to health and the dangers of dirty water. The village water-plant example also attempts to support your view. However, the response only partially develops the central issue of whether household water should be free. Most of the discussion explains why clean water is beneficial, rather than explaining why it should be provided without charge or considering practical implications such as public funding and access for poorer households. Claims such as villagers’ lives increasing are not clearly explained or supported. Develop two focused reasons that directly justify free provision, and explain each with a specific example or consequence.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 5.0

The response has a recognisable structure, with an introduction, two body paragraphs signalled by “On the one hand” and “On the other hand,” and a conclusion. This gives the reader some sense of organisation. However, the ideas do not progress clearly within the paragraphs: the second body paragraph moves from dirty water and health to environmental development, employment, and opportunities without showing how these points connect. Linking expressions such as “Moreover,” “however,” and “Secondly” are sometimes used mechanically or do not clarify the relationship between ideas. Some references, including “this water” and “these amenities,” are also unclear. Group related points together and use transitions that show the precise connection between them.

Lexical Resource: Band 4.5

You attempt vocabulary relevant to the topic, including “basic right,” “fresh water supply,” “internal abdominal cavity,” and “opportunities.” However, the range is limited and several word-choice, collocation, and spelling problems make parts difficult to understand. For example, “approch of fresh water” does not express access to water naturally, while “feel pieceful life” and “feel develop envornment” are unclear. There are also frequent spelling errors, such as “benificial,” “servive,” and “puplic.” These issues restrict precision and sometimes interrupt the reader’s understanding. Focus on accurate topic phrases and check spelling; using a smaller set of natural expressions consistently would make your argument clearer.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.0

You attempt both simple and longer sentence forms, including a sentence beginning “because” and a contrast introduced by “although.” However, control is inconsistent, and errors in sentence structure and verb forms frequently make the meaning difficult to follow. For example, “water supply homes provide a heathly life” lacks a clear grammatical relationship between its parts, and “many scientists observed that every villager life increase” has problems with the clause structure and verb form. The conclusion also contains an incomplete or unclear construction: “water provide life to everyone and become a developed and advanced.” Work first on complete subject–verb structures, consistent verb forms, and clear sentence boundaries. Then practise combining ideas with subordinate clauses while keeping each sentence manageable.
