Student answer (Band 5.0)

For free of charge water was supplying to every house and deserving the clean water is a basic human right.I agree with the statement that the human has a right to access the clean water.

Firstly, water is a major part of the human usage. In some areas there are much more pure water scarcity is still there in some more places. so, all the citizens need to receive pure water for their daily usage. If we managing with impure water it will defifnitely leads to health issue later. Moreover, hard usage of dirt water can makes people health sick. There is more chances to suffer with viral infection in rainy season. So it will be better to take step to avoid this type of problems, we need to use safe water.

Secondly, most probably using of unclean water leads to skin desieses, it can hard to cure that skin problems.However, continuing with impure water leads itching of skin and wounds also formed for some skin types. While we need to be responsibly of our skin and be aware in usage of pure water in our daily uses. Reduce the utilization of the bad water and use clean and pure water,iIt helps to decreses the skin problems and damaging of skin.

Finally, human have rights to access the pure water and with free of charge water supply is also providing to every house. So using pure and clean water reduce the health issues of the people like viral fevers and problems, for regular usage of clean water is also reduce then skin disieses that who are facing with the usage of unfiltered water is cured.

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 5.0

You state a clear general position in the opening—“I agree”—and give relevant reasons connected to health, including illness from unsafe water and skin problems. However, the response only partially addresses the central proposal: it does not explain why the supply should be free of charge, who should fund it, or whether free access should apply to every amount of water used. The reasons are also asserted rather than developed; for example, the claims about viral infections and skin conditions would be stronger with a specific example or explanation of how access to free water prevents them. The conclusion repeats the position but does not add a final justification. Develop the affordability argument and support each main point more fully.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 5.0

The response has a recognisable structure, with an introduction, two body paragraphs signalled by “Firstly” and “Secondly,” and a concluding paragraph beginning “Finally.” This gives the reader some guidance. However, progression within paragraphs is often unclear: the first body paragraph moves from scarcity to health risks and then to a general recommendation without clearly linking each step. Connectors such as “Moreover,” “So,” and “While” are sometimes used mechanically or do not express the relationship accurately. The second paragraph repeats the point about unclean water and skin problems rather than extending the argument. Use clearer topic sentences, organise each paragraph around one reason, and make references such as “this type of problems” more precise.

Lexical Resource: Band 5.0

You use a small set of relevant terms, including “clean water,” “water scarcity,” “health issues,” and “skin problems,” so the main topic is generally understandable. However, vocabulary is limited and repetitive, particularly the repeated use of “pure,” “clean,” and “impure water.” Several inaccurate word choices or forms make parts difficult to interpret, such as “hard usage of dirt water,” “skin desieses,” and “damaging of skin.” Spelling errors, including “defifinitely,” “decreses,” and “desieses,” also reduce clarity. Build a more precise range for discussing access, affordability, sanitation, and health, and check spelling and collocations. For instance, “contaminated water” is more natural than “dirt water.”

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.0

You attempt both simple statements and longer sentences using clauses, for example, “If we managing with impure water…” and “While we need to be responsibly of our skin…”. However, the longer structures are often faulty, and frequent errors in verb forms, agreement, articles, and sentence construction can make the meaning difficult to follow. Examples include “If we managing,” “it will definitely leads,” “can makes people,” and “human have rights.” Some sentences also run together or have unclear punctuation, as in “skin problems.However” and the final sentence. Practise building accurate basic sentences first, then add subordinate clauses with correct verb forms—for example, “If people use contaminated water, they may develop health problems.”
