Task Achievement / Task Response — Band 5.0
The response attempts to summarise the main features of the chart, noting data points for sleeping, studying, and relaxing across the UK, Japan, and Germany. However, there are significant inaccuracies in data reporting, such as stating that studying 'recovered the highest weekday' and misreading specific figures. Furthermore, the length requirement of 150 words was not met, as the text contains only 135 words. Consequently, the task has been only partially addressed, leading to a lower score for this criterion.
Coherence and Cohesion — Band 5.0
The essay is divided into short paragraphs, attempting an introduction, an overview, and body paragraphs. However, the logical progression is frequently disrupted by awkward phrasing and confusing transitions, such as 'An analysis of the image reveals Sleeping register high it begin with...' Cohesive devices are either missing or misused, and referencing is unclear at times. Paragraphing is present, but overall structural control remains weak.
Lexical Resource — Band 4.5
The vocabulary used is very limited and often unnatural, showing a lack of precision ('workday for scholars', 'accounted the lowest', 'talled very least number'). There are frequent word choice errors and awkward collocations that strain the reader's understanding. While the student attempts some topic-related vocabulary, control over less common lexical items is inadequate, preventing the response from reaching a higher band.
Grammatical Range and Accuracy — Band 4.5
Grammatical control is weak throughout the text, featuring frequent sentence structure errors, missing verbs, and incorrect tense usage (e.g., 'Sleeping register high it begin with', 'one percentage is fell', 'There is an evident of the image'). Complex sentence structures are attempted but are heavily flawed. Errors frequently cause difficulty for the reader and impede smooth communication.
