Task Achievement / Task Response — Band 5.0
The response covers the main features of the graph, such as the overall trends and some specific data points. However, the reporting of data is often inaccurate or confusing, such as the claim that first-time visitors were 8,000 in 2000 when the graph shows a different figure, and the inconsistent reporting of 2004 data. The summary lacks precision, and the 'overview' is somewhat muddled by these inaccuracies. While the task is addressed, the lack of clarity in data representation prevents a higher score.
Coherence and Cohesion — Band 5.0
The essay is divided into paragraphs, but the logical progression is weak. The use of cohesive devices is mechanical and often misused, such as the repetitive use of 'as we show' or 'we shows'. Referencing is unclear, and the transition between sentences is often abrupt. The conclusion is very brief and does not effectively synthesize the information provided in the body paragraphs. The overall structure feels disjointed, making it difficult for the reader to follow the trends clearly.
Lexical Resource — Band 5.0
The vocabulary is limited and repetitive. There are frequent spelling errors, such as 'carylisaland', 'bote', 'frist', 'tp', 'typ', and 'decried' (likely meant 'decreased'). The range of vocabulary is insufficient to describe trends with precision; for example, using 'increased highly' instead of 'increased significantly' or 'rose sharply'. The misuse of basic terms and the constant repetition of 'visitors' and 'show' indicate a restricted range that struggles to convey information accurately.
Grammatical Range and Accuracy — Band 4.5
The response contains frequent grammatical errors that often impede communication. There are issues with subject-verb agreement ('both group are increased'), tense consistency, and sentence structure. Many sentences are run-on or fragmented, and punctuation is largely absent or incorrect. The attempt at complex structures is limited and usually results in errors. The high frequency of errors in basic sentence construction makes the text difficult to read and significantly lowers the overall quality of the writing.
