Student answer (Band 5.0)

In many countries, most of people not aware for their wast into dustbin, which lead to many diseases such as typhoid, meleria. Therefor, individual argue that people do not recycle their rubbish as much as they could. I strongly believe that recycle their rubbish is the most fundamental strategy, though this strategy not only able to solve this problem. Additionally, government has also taken significant restriction to prevent this obstacles.

Nowadays in modren areas, many people are become more relying on shoft-drinks, beverage products, and fast food. However, the main reason is that people not wast and plastic bolttels in nearby dustbin but also through on the road. This anexpected behaviour leads to considerably health issues such as obesity, maleriya, and tiphoid. Furthermore, this situation can become bad atmosphear. cuasing this habits many animal become part of this problem. Myriad animal was extinct day by day. Our history has been into dangered situation.

Moreover, this situation also wrong for economy and aenvironment because of throughing rubbish allowed to large amount of pollution and also carbon footprint.

Nevertheless, government should take a streak roles to mitigating this issues. First and farmost, authorities have organized awareness campaign for pupils, if thay provide information about how to rubbish recycle and there are many benefits, also this recycle bin utilize in farmland as a organic furtilaizer. state has consturcted management system and provide strong recyclebiun fesilities. Secondly, government also become a strong rules to punishment through the waste.

In conclusion, people become more aware about rubbish through in dustbin, though government take a strong step. this major benefits is to public health.

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 5.0

You address both questions in a general way: you suggest that poor awareness and littering contribute to the problem, and propose school awareness campaigns, recycling facilities, and penalties. However, the response only partially develops these points. The opening focuses on rubbish in bins and disease, rather than clearly explaining why people fail to recycle; the later discussion of fast food and plastic bottles is relevant but does not explain the barriers to recycling in enough detail. Your proposed measures are also difficult to assess because their operation and likely impact are not explained. The position that recycling is important is present, but the response would be stronger with a direct explanation of causes and specific, supported solutions.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 5.0

There is some organisation: the response moves from an introduction to reasons, then government action, and a conclusion. Paragraphing helps distinguish these sections, and linking expressions such as “Furthermore,” “Moreover,” and “Nevertheless” show an attempt to connect ideas. However, there is no clear progression within several paragraphs: health effects, animal extinction, pollution, and the economy are introduced in quick succession without explaining their relationships. Some links are inaccurate or unclear, such as “Nevertheless” before the proposed solutions, and “this situation” has no precise reference. Develop one main point at a time, use transitions that express the actual relationship, and make references explicit to improve the flow.

Lexical Resource: Band 5.0

You attempt vocabulary relevant to the topic, including “awareness campaign,” “carbon footprint,” “pollution,” and “organic fertilizer.” This shows some effort to use topic-specific language. However, the range is limited by repeated general words such as “situation,” “problem,” and “rubbish,” while frequent spelling and word-choice errors sometimes make meaning difficult to follow. Examples include “shoft-drinks,” “bolttels,” “atmosphear,” and “streak roles”; “recycle their rubbish” is also used where “recycling” would be more natural. Aim to learn accurate collocations and check spelling, and choose precise terms for causes and solutions rather than relying on broad or unclear phrases.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 4.5

You attempt both simple and longer sentence forms, including a clause beginning “if they provide information,” but control is inconsistent and many sentences contain errors that make the message difficult to understand. For example, “most of people not aware” lacks a clear subject-verb structure, while “government should take a streak roles to mitigating” has problems with articles, number, and verb form. Agreement and tense are also unreliable in “many animal become” and “government also become.” Punctuation and sentence boundaries need attention, particularly where a full stop is followed by “cuasing.” Practise building accurate subject–verb sentences first, then add subordinate clauses and check each verb form.
