Task Achievement / Task Response — Band 5.0
The response attempts to summarize the changes between 1950 and today, but it fails to accurately report the main features. The description of the farm's development is often inaccurate or confusing; for example, stating there is 'no specific development' in fruit trees and vegetables contradicts the visual evidence of significant expansion in these areas. The report lacks a clear, objective overview of the spatial changes, such as the conversion of farmland into a campsite and the addition of a shop. The analysis is hindered by vague language and a lack of precise comparison between the two time periods, which is essential for a Band 1 task.
Coherence and Cohesion — Band 5.0
The essay is organized into paragraphs, but the progression of ideas is often illogical and difficult to follow. While some cohesive devices are used (e.g., 'Overall', 'On the other hand', 'In conclusion'), they are often used incorrectly or do not effectively link the ideas. The referencing is frequently unclear, making it difficult to understand which part of the farm is being discussed. The lack of logical flow between sentences and the repetitive nature of the arguments significantly impact the overall readability of the response.
Lexical Resource — Band 5.0
The range of vocabulary is limited and often inaccurate. There are several instances of awkward word choices and incorrect collocations, such as 'sustenance is available', 'chicken poultry home', and 'super mart'. The student struggles to use precise terminology to describe the features of the farm (e.g., 'valuable assets' is used vaguely). Spelling errors, such as 'sire' instead of 'site', also occur. The vocabulary is generally repetitive and lacks the sophistication required for a higher band score.
Grammatical Range and Accuracy — Band 5.0
The response contains frequent grammatical errors that often impede communication. Subject-verb agreement is a major issue throughout the text (e.g., 'This chart illustrate', 'facilities... is made', 'customers is attracted'). There is a lack of complex sentence structures, and the simple sentences used often contain errors in punctuation and word order. The misuse of articles and prepositions is also prevalent. These persistent errors make the text difficult to read and demonstrate a lack of control over basic grammatical structures.
