Task Achievement / Task Response — Band 6.5
The response addresses the prompt by taking a clear position in favor of free water. However, the development of ideas is somewhat limited. While you mention health risks like 'kidney failure' and 'neurological damage', the argument regarding the economic feasibility or the 'free of charge' aspect is not fully explored. The essay tends to repeat the need for clean water rather than providing a nuanced discussion on the implications of a universal free supply. To reach a higher band, ensure that each paragraph develops a distinct, well-supported point that directly addresses the prompt's specific requirement for a 'free of charge' service.
Coherence and Cohesion — Band 6.5
The essay is organized into paragraphs, but the logical flow is occasionally hindered by mechanical transitions. For example, the phrase 'In forthcoming paragraph' is an unnatural way to introduce ideas. Cohesive devices are used, but they are sometimes repetitive or used incorrectly, such as the comma splices and the awkward use of 'ETC' at the end of a sentence. Paragraphing is present, but the internal structure of the paragraphs could be improved by using more sophisticated linking words to connect the problem (pollution) to the proposed solution (government intervention) more fluidly.
Lexical Resource — Band 6.0
The vocabulary is adequate for the task but lacks precision and variety. You use basic terms like 'clean water' and 'basic human need' repeatedly. There are also some noticeable errors in word choice and collocation, such as 'sanatory condition' (likely meaning 'sanitary conditions') and 'pre-dominantly access'. While the meaning is generally clear, the range of vocabulary is limited, and the errors in word formation occasionally draw attention to themselves. To improve, try to incorporate more academic collocations and precise terminology related to public policy and environmental health.
Grammatical Range and Accuracy — Band 6.0
The essay contains a mix of simple and complex sentence structures, but there are frequent grammatical errors that affect the flow. Issues include subject-verb agreement (e.g., 'all the living organisms can not survive'), missing articles (e.g., 'to proved clean water'), and incorrect punctuation, specifically the frequent use of comma splices instead of full stops. These errors are persistent throughout the text. While the meaning is usually understandable, the lack of control over complex structures and the frequency of basic errors prevent a higher score. Focus on mastering sentence boundaries and basic article usage.
