Student answer (Band 5.0)
Parapharse:Access to clean water is a basic human right.Therefore every home should have a water supply that is provided free of charge by government.
On the one hand , water is the basic need for all living things.The government should supply a good quality of water for people free of cost. Not any kind of bills taxs pay for the good qualitry of water.The government should install good quality water filtration palnt in every area.
On the other hand,the drinkable water supplies on the Earth are reducing day by day.So the authorites must take action about this,they must install filtration plants for sanitry water,so it can be reused in industrial and factories areas.
In my opinion:the government should take action for supplying good quality of water specially for Humans,agriculture and anmials.the government should take action for storing the rain water and filtered the water and convert a good quality of water and provide it to the people living in the remote areas where clean water is not available easily and people are compelled to drink dirty water that affect their health very badly.And the people face many kind of dangerous diseases because of the dirty water.
Conclusion:The government must take action to improve the quality and quantity of water in the country.And make better network of water supply,so water can easily reach in every home of the country.And at the end the people healthy and happy in their whole life.

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 5.0
The student attempts to address the prompt regarding whether clean water should be provided free of charge, presenting a general position that the government should supply good quality water free of cost and build filtration plants. However, the response fails to fully develop these ideas, often repeating points about government action without deep extension or rigorous argumentation. Furthermore, the length requirement has not been met, as the response contains only 240 words, falling short of the 250-word minimum. This under-length impacts the overall task fulfillment, leading to a Band 5.0 rating.
Coherence and Cohesion: Band 5.0
The text attempts a logical structure with explicit labelling such as 'On the one hand', 'On the other hand', 'In my opinion:', and 'Conclusion:'. However, paragraphing and coherence are disrupted by formatting issues, such as starting with a 'Parapharse' section and placing single sentences or fragments into separate lines rather than cohesive paragraphs. Cohesive devices are used rather mechanically and repetitively, such as 'The government should take action...' appearing multiple times. Overall, the organization shows some progression, but the structural execution is flawed, corresponding to a Band 5.0.
Lexical Resource: Band 5.0
The vocabulary used is relatively basic and repetitive, with frequent reliance on simple terms like 'good quality of water', 'dirty water', and 'take action'. There are several spelling and word choice errors, such as 'taxs' instead of taxes, 'palnt' instead of plant, 'drinkable water supplies' instead of drinking water supplies, and 'anmials' instead of animals. The lexical range is minimally adequate for the task, but the noticeable errors and lack of sophisticated phrasing restrict the score to a Band 5.0.
Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.0
The response features a very limited range of grammatical structures, relying heavily on simple sentences and repetitive subject-verb patterns. Attempts at complex structures are frequently faulty, leading to run-on sentences and punctuation errors, such as missing spaces after commas and colons. Frequent grammatical inaccuracies, including 'filtered the water and convert a good quality of water' and 'that affect their health very badly', cause some difficulty for the reader and demonstrate weak control over complex syntax, placing this at a Band 5.0.
