Task Achievement / Task Response — Band 4.0
The response fails to meet the minimum word count requirement of 250 words, reaching only 102 words. This significantly impacts the development of ideas. While you state your position clearly, the arguments are repetitive and lack the depth, supporting evidence, and logical extension required for an academic essay. The response is incomplete and stops abruptly mid-sentence, meaning the task is only partially addressed. To improve, you must expand your arguments with specific examples and ensure the essay is fully developed to meet the length requirement.
Coherence and Cohesion — Band 4.0
The essay lacks a clear structure. There is no introduction, body paragraphing, or conclusion. The flow of ideas is disjointed, and the use of cohesive devices is almost non-existent. Phrases like 'let explain this' are informal and do not serve as effective transitions. The lack of paragraphing makes the text difficult to follow. To improve, you should organize your response into a clear introduction, at least two body paragraphs with distinct points, and a conclusion, using linking words such as 'furthermore', 'consequently', or 'in contrast' to connect your ideas logically.
Lexical Resource — Band 4.0
The vocabulary is very basic and repetitive. You rely on simple terms like 'thing', 'great role', and 'clean water' throughout the text. There are also errors in word choice and form, such as 'man cannot be live' instead of 'cannot live' and 'goverman' which is an incomplete word. The range of vocabulary is insufficient to express complex ideas or arguments effectively. To improve, focus on learning topic-specific collocations related to public services, human rights, and economics, and practice using a wider variety of descriptive adjectives and nouns.
Grammatical Range and Accuracy — Band 4.0
The response contains frequent grammatical errors that often impede communication. Examples include 'I am agree' (should be 'I agree'), 'every human right he drink' (incorrect sentence structure), and 'million of people not drink' (missing auxiliary verbs). There is a lack of complex sentence structures, and the punctuation is inconsistent. The errors are pervasive and affect the clarity of your message. To improve, focus on mastering basic subject-verb agreement, the correct use of articles, and the formation of complex sentences using subordinating conjunctions like 'although', 'because', or 'which'.
