Task Achievement / Task Response — Band 5.0
The student addresses the prompt by clearly stating their position in the introduction ("i extreamily agree to this statement beacuse water is a crusial part for our basic surviving"). The response attempts to cover all parts of the task by discussing why water is a fundamental human right and why it should be provided free of charge, supported by reasons such as health benefits and survival needs. However, the development of ideas is somewhat limited and repetitive, with over-generalised points. For instance, the discussion on organisations taking action and the concluding thought about cleaning oceans and ponds drift slightly away from the core debate of home water supply provision. Overall, the task is addressed, but the depth of argument aligns best with a Band 5.5 to 6.0.
Coherence and Cohesion — Band 5.0
The essay is divided into four paragraphs, showing an attempt at a conventional structure including an introduction, two body paragraphs, and a conclusion. However, logical progression is frequently disrupted by awkward transitions and confusing referencing (e.g., "In other to more over the world there are lots of oganization"). Cohesive devices are used mechanically or inappropriately, such as the repetitive starting phrases like "First of all" and "Secondly," and the misuse of transitional words like "So that" and "Therefore." Paragraphing is visible, but the flow within paragraphs is disjointed, which pulls the score into the Band 5 range.
Lexical Resource — Band 5.0
The vocabulary used is basic and repetitive, frequently revolving around words like "water," "clean," "basic," and "survival." There are noticeable lexical errors and incorrect word choices throughout the text, such as writing "free of cost" instead of "free of charge," "aliving human life" instead of "living human beings," and "hydreated" instead of "hydrated." Additionally, spelling mistakes are prevalent ("extreamily," "crusial," "hygine," "oganization," "beaings"). While meaning can generally be extracted, the resource is limited and errors cause some difficulty, fitting the Band 5 descriptors.
Grammatical Range and Accuracy — Band 5.0
The writer attempts a mix of simple and complex sentence forms, but control is weak, leading to frequent grammatical errors. Sentence structures are often awkward or incomplete, as seen in "In this globe drinking water is a significant role..." and "So that accessing to purified water is a basic human right..." Punctuation and capitalization are also problematic (e.g., lower-case "i" used for the personal pronoun, missing spaces after periods). Errors occur in almost every sentence and frequently impede smooth reading. This level of grammatical accuracy and range is consistent with a Band 5.
