Student answer (Band 5.0)

There are many point of views of people about access of clean water to every human-being living on this planet,the Earth.Access to clean water is a basic human right and it should be free to all.Therefore,every home on this planet should have a water supply that is provided free of cost and there should be no charges for installation of water line pipes.Human body contains almost 80% of water in it and if there will be no source of clean water or access of clean water,how a human-being will survive.There is no life without clean water and in many countries clean water is considered a big blessing of the God.There are many countries in the region of Africa which do not have access of clean water and they have to drunk dirty water due to this reason.Dirty water has a lot of diesases causing bacteriaes in it and they can led to fatal results.Drinking dirty water is not a good thing and it is main reason for dieseases and for flies.From my perspective,clean water is basic need and it should be delivered to every singal human-being and to the animals also.Animals which are sources of meat and milk also suffers to get clean water.If animals will staet to drink dirty water,the resluts can be disturbing and alarming for many of us.We will not be able to get a high quality milk and hygenic meat from these animals.Humans should arrange clean water for themselves,animals and for every living thing.If humans started to reserve natural water resouces,they will be able to get clean water resources for themselves and for all living organisms.

In every country,factories should clean water after using them in producton of different items and they should not realease dirty water in occians,streams and rivers.It results in damaging of clean water resources and damages to the creatures which are dependent on water.Dirty water results in kiling of sea creatures like fishes,tortules,octupeses etc.In cities,access to clean is complexed for citizens and they are forced to consume used water.In an article,that was published in 2020,showed the fatal results of consuming used water and it was also mentioned that it led towards serious health problems and human-beings were suffering different kinds of dieseases happend by drinking water.Many countries are now trying their best to save natural resources of water and they have made plans for it.They said that it can changes the results and they also trying to save jungles to maintain climate.The changings we saw in climate led to fatal endings and difficult for many to save glaciers.The glaciers are also natural clean water resources and they should be saved at any cost.

To conclude,natural water resouces are biggest clean water products and every human-being should play in an important role to save them and access to clean water is a basic human right and every singal home on planet Earth should be provided a water supply free of cost.

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 5.5

You clearly agree that clean water is a basic right and that homes should receive it without charge, and you give relevant reasons involving health, animals, and environmental protection. However, the response only partly develops the specific proposal of free household supply: much of the discussion shifts to pollution, wildlife, glaciers, and water conservation, without explaining who should fund free provision or how it could be managed. Some claims, such as the reference to an article, are not supported with clear details. The position is present, but it would be stronger if each main point directly supported your view on free domestic water and was explained with a specific example. (28 words copied from the task prompt were not counted.)

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 5.0

The response has an opening, a longer body section, and a conclusion that returns to the central view. Ideas about human health and animals are grouped together, while the later discussion turns to pollution and natural water sources. However, the progression is not consistently clear: several different topics are crowded into long paragraphs, and links such as “In an article” and “They said” do not make the source or reference clear. Repeated use of “and” and repeated statements that clean water should be available make the argument feel list-like. Use separate paragraphs for distinct reasons, begin each with a clear main point, and use precise referencing to show how each example supports it.

Lexical Resource: Band 5.0

You use relevant topic vocabulary, including “natural resources,” “glaciers,” “factories,” and “health problems,” which helps communicate the subject. However, the range is limited by repeated words such as “clean water,” “dirty water,” and “results,” and several inaccurate word choices or collocations make parts difficult to understand. Examples include “they have to drunk dirty water,” “dieseases and for flies,” and “clean water products.” There are also frequent spelling errors, including “resouces,” “occ ians,” and “hygenic.” Build a more precise range for discussing access, treatment, and public provision, and check spelling and collocations carefully so the reader can follow your meaning without effort.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 4.5

You attempt both simple and longer sentences, including conditional forms such as “If animals will start to drink dirty water…” and clauses explaining consequences. However, complex sentences are often faulty, and frequent errors in verb forms, agreement, articles, and sentence boundaries can make the argument hard to follow. For example, “Animals … also suffers” has incorrect agreement, while “they have to drunk” uses the wrong verb form. In “If humans started to reserve …, they will be able,” the conditional forms do not match. Many sentences also run together without spaces after punctuation, and some comma splices obscure the structure. Practise accurate simple sentences first, then build longer sentences with controlled clauses and consistent verb forms.
