Student answer (Band 4.5)

It is conspicuous that drinking clean water is more essential for our body. I agree with this statement but i also mentioned my viewpoint about do not supply the water free of charge that is mentioned in the following paragraphs .

first and the foremost, access of purified water is a basic human right. If every people access clean water free of cost they do not understand the value of water because everyone' s know that only 75% of water is pending but majority of people waste the water at unnecessary things. The most highlighted example is that while brushing a group of masses waste water they do not turn off the tapes on that time. Moreover, individuals get benefit of free supply of water they never think about the value of water. supply of free clean water is good at the maximum level.

furthermore, clean water protects from various diseases like asthma, stomach pain and many more other. If we drink fresh purified water we protects our body well. Besides this, supply of clean water free of cost is good point for poverty people because they have not enough money and they did not fill the bills of water. they also prevent their bodies from distinct diseases. For instance, if they do not access clean water they drink unpurified water that is not good for their health .

Conclusion, access of clean water is good or bad viewpoints because of various reasons.

AI examiner evaluation

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 4.0

You give a partly relevant response by discussing both the importance of clean water and whether it should be free, and you include examples such as water wasted while brushing and poorer people being unable to pay bills. However, your position is contradictory: you begin by saying you agree with the statement, then argue that water should not be free, and the conclusion says the issue has “good or bad viewpoints” rather than answering clearly. Several claims are also unclear or insufficiently explained, including the statement that “only 75% of water is pending.” The response is 7 words below the required minimum. State one consistent position, explain how it could work in practice, and develop each reason with a clear example.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 4.0

Your response has an introduction, two body paragraphs and a conclusion, and signposts such as “first and the foremost,” “furthermore” and “for instance” show an attempt to organise ideas. However, the progression is difficult to follow because the introduction and first body paragraph do not establish a consistent argument, and the conclusion does not resolve the disagreement. Some links are mechanical or do not clearly show the relationship between ideas; for example, “Moreover” introduces a point that largely repeats the previous claim about valuing water. Paragraphs also contain several ideas without clear development. Plan a simple sequence—position, reason, explanation and example—and use linking phrases only when they clarify that sequence.

Lexical Resource: Band 5.0

You use some relevant topic vocabulary, including “purified water,” “free of cost,” “poverty people” and “diseases,” so the reader can identify the subject of your essay. However, the range is limited and several expressions are inaccurate or unnatural, which sometimes makes the meaning difficult to interpret. For instance, “only 75% of water is pending” does not clearly communicate the intended fact, while “at unnecessary things” and “distinct diseases” are imprecise. Repetition of “clean water,” “free” and “value of water” also limits flexibility. Learn common collocations for this topic and choose precise wording rather than using phrases whose meaning is uncertain.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.0

You attempt both simple and complex sentences, including conditional forms such as “If we drink fresh purified water…” and “If they do not access clean water…”. However, the range is limited, and errors occur frequently in sentence construction, agreement, articles and punctuation. Examples include “If every people access,” “we protects our body,” and “they did not fill the bills”; these forms make parts of the argument harder to understand. Capitalisation and sentence boundaries are also inconsistent, as in the lowercase “i” and the opening paragraph’s long sentence ending with a space before the full stop. Practise accurate subject–verb agreement and build complex sentences from a clear main clause.
