Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 5.0

You state a clear disagreement with the proposal, especially in “I see that this is a wrong idea,” and give reasons involving responsible water use, employment, the economy and repair services. These points are relevant, but the response only partially develops the task: it does not clearly explain why charging households is preferable to ensuring that everyone has access to a basic supply, nor does it consider the human-rights argument in the prompt. Several claims, such as payment preventing water problems or improving the service, are asserted without a specific explanation or example. To strengthen the response, explain each reason step by step and include a relevant example, while keeping your position clear throughout.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 4.5

The response has an identifiable opening, a sequence of supporting reasons and a concluding paragraph, so the reader can recognise its general direction. However, progression within the body is difficult to follow because several ideas are packed into long sentences, and links such as “in addition,” “on other hand” and “at last” do not always show the relationship between points accurately. The employment argument, for example, shifts quickly from companies providing jobs to economic growth and then customer support. Use separate paragraphs for distinct reasons, give each one a clear topic sentence, and connect explanation to example with simpler, more precise transitions. This would make the organisation less repetitive and easier to follow.

Lexical Resource: Band 5.0

You attempt vocabulary relevant to the topic, including “water supply,” “job opportunities,” “economy” and “professionals,” and you try to express ideas about public services and payment. However, the range is limited and many spelling, word-form and collocation errors make parts of the response difficult to understand, such as “water supplyer for freely,” “pollution are keep effecting” and “rapport his situation.” Some expressions also appear to be chosen without a clear meaning in context, including “human nature that are beeing made to Obey money.” Aim for accurate, natural phrases rather than more complicated wording: check spelling and collocations, and use familiar terms precisely. The suggestions below offer practical replacements.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.0

You attempt to combine ideas using clauses and connectors, but the sentence structures are often faulty, and errors can make the intended meaning difficult to follow. For instance, “people will not spend water wisely if he is not paying” has unclear pronoun reference and agreement, while “pollution are keep effecting our envirement” has problems with subject–verb agreement and verb form. Articles, sentence boundaries and punctuation are also inconsistent, particularly in the long sentence beginning “From my prespective.” Use shorter sentences first, checking that each has a clear subject and correctly formed verb. Then add complex structures carefully, such as a conditional sentence, and proofread for agreement, articles and punctuation.
