Task Achievement / Task Response — Band 4.0
The response fails to adequately address the task requirements. Instead of objectively describing the changes between the two maps, the essay focuses on subjective commentary about health, exercise, and the importance of gyms. The student does not clearly identify the main features of the site, such as the conversion of farmland into residential areas or the addition of specific infrastructure like solar panels or the park. The inclusion of personal opinions ('health is wealth') is inappropriate for an Academic Task 1 report, which requires a neutral, analytical tone. Consequently, the response does not provide a clear overview or a logical summary of the visual data provided.
Coherence and Cohesion — Band 5.0
The essay is divided into paragraphs, but the logical progression is weak. The introduction is confusing, and the body paragraphs lack a clear focus on the visual information. Cohesive devices are used, such as 'Moreover' and 'However', but they are often used incorrectly or to connect irrelevant ideas. The referencing is frequently unclear, making it difficult for the reader to follow the comparison between the 1950 site and the current site. The conclusion introduces new, irrelevant philosophical statements rather than summarizing the key trends observed in the maps.
Lexical Resource — Band 5.0
The vocabulary is limited and often inaccurate. There are several spelling errors ('vegitables', 'undevelopment', 'affort') and word choice issues ('bram' instead of 'barn' or 'housing', 'mostly important' instead of 'crucial'). The student struggles to use precise terminology to describe the map features, relying on repetitive and informal language. The range of vocabulary is insufficient to convey the information clearly, and the misuse of words occasionally impedes the reader's understanding of the intended meaning.
Grammatical Range and Accuracy — Band 5.0
The response contains frequent grammatical errors that affect readability. There are issues with subject-verb agreement ('The give plans illustrates', 'park's place a major role'), incorrect verb tenses, and awkward sentence structures. Punctuation is also inconsistent, with missing spaces after commas and periods. While there is an attempt to use complex sentences, they are often poorly constructed and contain errors that cause some difficulty for the reader. The control of basic grammar is inconsistent throughout the text.
