Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 5.0
Your position is clear: you strongly agree that clean water should be provided free, and you give relevant reasons about health and access. However, the response addresses the task only partially because the supporting ideas are brief and sometimes unclear. For example, the claim that people in Africa lack clean water is not developed with a specific explanation or example, and the proposed actions—installing taps and building water plants—are not clearly connected to how every home would receive a free supply. The response is also 22 words below the 250-word minimum; the 13 words copied from the prompt were not counted. Develop each reason with a clearer explanation and a relevant example.
Coherence and Cohesion: Band 4.5
The response has an introduction, two body paragraphs and a conclusion, so the reader can identify its basic structure. You also use linking expressions such as “For example,” “In addition” and “In conclusion.” However, progression within the paragraphs is not always clear: the first body paragraph moves from health benefits to lack of access and then to human-rights organisations without explaining the links. Some transitions are mechanical or inaccurate, including “On the other hand” where the contrast is not fully established. Improve the sequence by giving each paragraph one main point, then explaining and illustrating it before moving on. Clearer references to who or what “this” and “they” refer to would also help the ideas connect.
Lexical Resource: Band 5.0
You use some relevant topic vocabulary, including “basic right,” “access,” “government,” “local authorities” and “clean water supply.” This gives you enough language to communicate your main position, but the range is limited and several word-choice, collocation and spelling errors make parts difficult to understand. For instance, “access of drinking water” and “access toward clean water” are not natural combinations, while “clean tape” appears to mean “clean tap.” There are also misspellings such as “moslty,” “commense” and “permenant.” Build a more accurate set of phrases for discussing water provision and public health, and check spelling carefully. More precise vocabulary would make your reasons clearer and less repetitive.
Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.0
You attempt both simple and more complex sentences, including clauses introduced by “because” and “which,” but the range is limited and complex structures are often faulty. Errors occur frequently in sentence construction and agreement: “it is necessary for every home should have” combines incompatible patterns, and “the people in Africa has” has incorrect subject–verb agreement. Other examples include “this helps people to keeps healthy” and “people is hygenic and clean.” Punctuation also needs attention, especially the missing spaces after commas and full stops. Practise building accurate sentences with one main clause and a correctly formed subordinate clause, and check verb forms and agreement before submitting.
