Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 4.0
The response attempts to address both views regarding whether to accept a bad situation or try to improve it, but the development of ideas is severely hindered by major language barriers and a lack of clear reasoning. The candidate mentions religious patience and the shortage of money, but these points are fragmented and difficult to follow. Furthermore, the response is under-length, containing only 231 words against the mandatory 250-word minimum requirement. This negative impact on task completion, combined with the under-developed arguments and unclear personal position, corresponds to a Band 4.0.
Coherence and Cohesion: Band 4.0
The overall organization is very weak. While the essay attempts a four-paragraph structure, paragraphing is poorly handled and sentences often lack internal logic and progression. Cohesive devices are either missing, inadequate, or used inaccurately, as seen in awkward transitions like 'Firstly, according to my opinion bad situations when faces to people...' and 'Further more, when people trust on Allah...'. Referencing is frequently unclear, meaning the reader struggles to follow the relationships between ideas, placing this aspect of the writing at a Band 4.0 level.
Lexical Resource: Band 4.0
The vocabulary used is very basic, repetitive, and heavily restricted. The student relies on elementary words and phrases like 'bad situation', 'poor people', and 'shortage of money'. There are severe word-choice and collocation errors throughout the text, such as 'stand for people in trust', 'faces for bad times', and 'colour-wise problems', which frequently strain the reader's understanding and impede communication. These frequent lexical limitations place the vocabulary performance at a Band 4.0.
Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 4.0
The grammatical range is very limited, consisting mostly of simple and attempted complex sentences that are consistently faulty. There are persistent, major errors in basic grammar, tense formation, subject-verb agreement, and word order across almost every sentence. Examples include 'bad situations when faces to people that knew all arounded the people' and 'hardworking there people is best for all people'. These frequent and severe errors constantly distort meaning and cause significant difficulty for the reader, matching the Band 4.0 descriptors.
