Task Achievement / Task Response — Band 4.0

The response fails to meet the minimum word count requirement of 150 words, which significantly impacts the ability to fully develop the response. While you have attempted to identify some main features, the analysis is superficial and lacks the necessary detail to provide a comprehensive summary. The data is presented in a fragmented way, and there is no clear comparison of the trends across all age groups. To improve, you must ensure you reach the word count by providing a more detailed breakdown of the data, including specific figures and clear comparisons between the categories, rather than just listing numbers.

Coherence and Cohesion — Band 5.0

The essay lacks a clear logical progression. While you use some transition words like 'To commence with' and 'However', they are often used incorrectly or do not fit the context of the data. The paragraphing is also problematic; the response is essentially a single block of text with poor internal structure. To improve, you should group related information together—for example, grouping the younger age groups versus the older ones—and ensure that each paragraph has a clear topic sentence. The use of cohesive devices needs to be more natural and accurate to help the reader follow your argument.

Lexical Resource — Band 5.0

The vocabulary is quite limited and repetitive. You rely on basic terms like 'use' and 'spent', and there are several errors in word choice and spelling, such as 'similear' instead of 'similar' and 'additinol' instead of 'additionally'. The phrasing 'every lowest' is also non-standard and hinders clarity. To achieve a higher band, you need to use a wider range of vocabulary related to data description, such as 'fluctuated', 'peaked', 'remained stable', or 'accounted for'. Focus on using precise terminology to describe the trends shown in the table rather than simple descriptive words.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy — Band 5.0

There are frequent grammatical errors throughout the text that impede communication. Examples include 'The table chat illustrate about', which has incorrect subject-verb agreement and word order, and 'in there chats age 11 to 25 is male using', which is syntactically confused. The sentence structures are mostly simple and often contain errors in tense and preposition usage. To improve, focus on mastering basic sentence construction, specifically subject-verb agreement and the correct use of articles. You should also practice forming complex sentences by using relative clauses or subordinating conjunctions to link your ideas more effectively.
