Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 5.0
You take a broadly supportive position, stating that clean water is necessary and that every household should receive it free. You also give relevant reasons, including health risks from dirty water and the needs of animals and trees. However, the response only partially develops the central question of whether the supply should be free: it does not explain who should pay for it, how a free service could be provided, or why this policy is preferable to other arrangements. Several points, such as clean water keeping faces clear, are asserted rather than explained, and the position is not consistently framed as an answer to the prompt. Develop two or three relevant reasons with specific explanation or examples, and state your view clearly throughout.
Coherence and Cohesion: Band 3.5
The response contains several relevant ideas, including health, household access, and animals, but they are presented as one continuous sequence rather than organised into paragraphs. There is no clear progression from a position to supporting reasons and a conclusion; the final phrase, “without eat food we if drink water we,” also leaves the response unfinished. Repeated openings such as “clean water” and “everyone” make the writing feel repetitive, while links between ideas are often unclear. For example, the move from city water supplies to villages and then to household taps is difficult to follow. Group related points into paragraphs, use clear topic sentences, and connect each reason to the argument about free provision.
Lexical Resource: Band 4.5
You use a small set of relevant words, including “clean water,” “dirty water,” “diseases,” and “responsibility,” so the general topic is recognisable. However, vocabulary is limited and repeated, and frequent spelling and word-choice errors sometimes make the intended meaning difficult to understand. Examples include “bascic write” for “basic right,” “stomic” for “stomach,” and “remain us strong” where a phrase such as “keep us healthy” is needed. Some expressions, including “villages are clean of dirty water,” are unclear or imprecise. Build a wider range of accurate topic vocabulary and check spelling and collocations; this will help you express your ideas more clearly and avoid relying on the same phrases.
Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 4.5
Most sentences use simple patterns, and you attempt to connect ideas with clauses such as “if we drink dirty water” and “if we help each other.” However, control of sentence structure is weak: many clauses run together without clear punctuation, and several are incomplete or difficult to interpret. For example, “if we drink dirty water it effect our stomic” lacks correct subject–verb agreement and sentence punctuation, while “without eat food we if drink water we” is not a complete grammatical sentence. Errors also occur in verb forms and agreement, as in “animals can be suffering” and “everyone person should hi understand.” Practise writing complete sentences with accurate verb forms, then use full stops and commas to separate ideas.
