Task Achievement / Task Response — Band 5.0
The response addresses the prompt by taking a clear position in favor of free water supply. However, the development of ideas is limited and repetitive. The arguments regarding health and government responsibility are stated but not sufficiently extended or supported with specific examples or logical depth. The essay relies on generalizations, such as 'diseases are most dangerous thing', without explaining the economic or social implications of free water. To reach a higher band, you need to provide more detailed reasoning and concrete examples to support your claims, ensuring that each paragraph contributes uniquely to the overall argument.
Coherence and Cohesion — Band 5.0
The essay is organized into paragraphs, which helps the reader follow the structure. However, the use of cohesive devices is mechanical and sometimes inaccurate, such as 'In the below paragraph' or 'Third if they give a water supply'. The progression of ideas is often disjointed, and the connection between sentences is weak. Referencing is occasionally unclear, and the flow between the introduction, body paragraphs, and conclusion lacks sophistication. To improve, focus on using a wider variety of linking words and phrases more naturally to connect your ideas and ensure a smoother logical flow throughout the text.
Lexical Resource — Band 5.0
The vocabulary is basic and repetitive, often relying on simple phrasing like 'give benefits' or 'take action'. There are noticeable errors in word choice and collocation, such as 'may no charge on it' and 'peoples of the society'. The range of vocabulary is limited, which restricts your ability to express complex ideas with precision. To achieve a higher score, you should work on expanding your range of topic-specific vocabulary related to public services, human rights, and economics, and practice using these words in correct collocations.
Grammatical Range and Accuracy — Band 5.0
The essay contains frequent grammatical errors that occasionally impede communication. There are issues with subject-verb agreement (e.g., 'the reason of supply clean water give benefits'), incorrect sentence structure, and awkward phrasing (e.g., 'if you do not take action then you will not be provided by the facilities'). While there is an attempt to use complex sentences, they are often faulty. To improve, focus on mastering basic sentence structures, subject-verb agreement, and the correct use of articles and prepositions. Proofreading for common errors will also help improve the overall accuracy of your writing.
