Task Achievement / Task Response — Band 4.0
The response fails to meet the minimum word count requirement of 250 words, as it is only 104 words long. Consequently, the ideas are severely underdeveloped and the task is only partially addressed. While you state your position clearly in the introduction, you do not provide sufficient supporting arguments or examples to explore the topic in depth. To improve, you must expand your response by providing detailed reasons, real-world examples, and a clear conclusion to ensure all parts of the prompt are fully covered.
Coherence and Cohesion — Band 5.0
The essay is divided into two short paragraphs, which is a start, but the lack of length prevents the development of a logical flow. There is a basic attempt at organization, but the transition between ideas is abrupt. Cohesive devices are largely absent, making the text feel disjointed. To achieve a higher score, you should use linking words (e.g., 'furthermore', 'consequently', 'in contrast') to connect your sentences and ensure that each paragraph has a clear central theme that progresses logically toward your conclusion.
Lexical Resource — Band 5.0
The vocabulary is quite limited and contains several inaccuracies in word choice and collocation. For example, 'A good and pristine water' is unnatural; 'pristine' is usually used for environments, not water supply. 'Costless' is rarely used in this context, and 'aqua' is not a standard synonym for water in academic writing. There are also spelling errors such as 'resourse' and 'sholud'. You need to focus on learning common collocations and using more precise academic vocabulary to express your ideas more effectively.
Grammatical Range and Accuracy — Band 5.0
There are frequent grammatical errors that occasionally impede the flow of the text. Examples include 'is been used' (incorrect tense), 'every societies' (subject-verb agreement error), and 'suppliers are less concern' (should be 'concerned'). The sentence structures are simple and repetitive. To improve, you should practice using a wider variety of complex sentence structures, such as relative clauses or conditional sentences, and pay closer attention to basic subject-verb agreement and article usage.
