Task Achievement / Task Response — Band 5.0
The response covers all parts of the task by discussing the reasons for global fashion influence and presenting arguments on both sides regarding whether this is a positive or negative development, maintaining a clear personal stance in the conclusion. However, the development of ideas is somewhat limited and repetitive. For example, the student mentions that global fashion is a 'wastage of money and time' in both the positive and negative body paragraphs, suggesting some confusion or lack of fully extended supporting points. The example provided regarding the Indian government survey and the New York city research are vague and unsupported by concrete details. Consequently, the performance aligns best with Band 5.0.
Coherence and Cohesion — Band 5.0
The essay displays some organizational structure with an introduction, body paragraphs, and a conclusion, though the opening sentence contains a strange extraneous fragment about 'particles' and yarn production that appears to be leftover text from a previous task. Cohesive devices are used, but they are often inaccurate or mechanical, such as 'whereas, this influence has stronger' and 'To commence with, there are multifarious advantages of global flow follow global fashion trends.' Paragraphing is attempted, but referencing and logical progression are frequently disrupted by confusing transitions and repetitive phrasing. Therefore, the coherence and cohesion correspond to a Band 5.0 level.
Lexical Resource — Band 5.0
The vocabulary used is adequate for basic communication, but it features noticeable errors and limited flexibility. The student attempts some less common vocabulary items such as 'multifarious advantages' and 'open minded,' but these are accompanied by frequent word choice and collocation errors, such as 'defensive influenced by fashion' instead of 'definitely influenced' and 'unnecessary shopping' instead of 'excessive shopping.' Repetition of words like 'fashion,' 'trends,' and 'influence' restricts the range of vocabulary. These errors cause some difficulty for the reader, fitting the Band 5.0 descriptors.
Grammatical Range and Accuracy — Band 5.0
The writer attempts a mix of simple and complex sentence structures, but many of the complex attempts are faulty and ungrammatical. Frequent grammatical errors include missing articles, incorrect verb forms ('help people to known'), run-on sentences ('social media influence people people to see...'), and punctuation errors. For instance, 'It sometime people children put a lot of pressure to their parents' contains severe structural breakdowns that impede comprehension. The high frequency of grammatical inaccuracies places this response firmly at a Band 5.0.
