Task Achievement / Task Response — Band 5.0
The response attempts to address the prompt regarding whether clean water should be provided free of charge, taking a clear stance in favour of free water supplies. However, the development of ideas is limited and somewhat repetitive. The writer mentions health issues, body functions, and the contrast between cities and rural areas, but these points are under-developed and lack extension with robust examples. The personal anecdote about neighbours failing to pay a water bill is somewhat anecdotal rather than a well-supported argument. Overall, the task is addressed partially, corresponding to a Band 5.
Coherence and Cohesion — Band 5.0
The essay lacks proper paragraphing in the initial sections and transitions between ideas are frequently abrupt. While there are some basic cohesive devices used such as 'Therefore', 'As we know', and 'So', referencing is often unclear and punctuation errors disrupt the logical flow. There is a lack of overall progression, and sentences run together without clear division of thought. For instance, the opening paragraph crams multiple distinct ideas into a single block without clear structural separation. This level of organization aligns with Band 4.5, rounded to 5.0 based on general progression.
Lexical Resource — Band 4.0
Vocabulary usage is basic, repetitive, and heavily impacted by spelling errors throughout the text. Words like 'servive' instead of survive, 'accure' instead of occur, 'filltered' instead of filtered, and 'sarvive' demonstrate severe spelling deficiencies that occasionally impede the reader's understanding. While the student attempts less common vocabulary such as 'immune system' and 'environment', the pervasive inaccuracies in word choice, form, and collocation place this firmly in the Band 4 category.
Grammatical Range and Accuracy — Band 4.0
The response displays a very limited range of grammatical structures. Most sentences are simple or poorly constructed attempts at complex forms that result in frequent major errors, such as missing subjects, incorrect verb tenses, and fragment sentences like 'we can not servive without it.It impact on our health.' Punctuation is largely neglected, with frequent run-on sentences and spacing issues. The density of grammatical errors causes constant difficulty for the reader and significantly distorts meaning in several instances, matching the descriptors for Band 4.
