Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 3.0
The student has attempted to describe the provided visual data, specifically mentioning the percentage of adult library members (51%) from the age group of 18 to 64. However, the response fails to address multiple parts of the prompt. It omits significant data sets, such as the trends over time regarding total loans (2007–2016) and the breakdown of loans by category. Furthermore, the word count is only 72 words, which falls significantly short of the 150-word minimum requirement. This severe under-length penalises the score significantly under Task Achievement.
Coherence and Cohesion: Band 4.0
The text lacks standard paragraphing and consists of a single, run-on block of text. Cohesive devices are minimal and repetitive (e.g., relying heavily on 'and the other'). There is no clear overall structure or logical progression typical of an academic task 1 report, making the response difficult to follow as a cohesive piece of writing.
Lexical Resource: Band 4.5
The vocabulary used is very basic and repetitive, such as 'data', 'members', and 'adults'. There are informal expressions not suited for an academic essay, such as 'as we can see the data in above question'. Spelling and lexical choices show limited range, though the intended meaning of the basic points is generally understandable.
Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 4.0
The student relies on simple and overly long, unpunctuated compound structures. There are several grammatical errors and awkward phrasings, such as 'states that the public library in the town called little chalfont states that', which features repetitive and incorrect verb usage. Capitalisation rules are largely ignored (e.g., 'little chalfont', 'childrens'), and punctuation is inadequate throughout.
