Task Achievement / Task Response — Band 5.0
The student attempts to cover the main trends in the line chart, noting data points for both first-time and returning visitors across several years. However, there are significant issues with accuracy and task interpretation. The student refers to numbers as 'percentages', misreads or misreports several key figures (e.g., stating the proportion stood at 8000 in 2000, and later mentioning numbers like 12000 and 15000), and confuses units. Furthermore, the overview attempts to highlight some extremes, but the overall summarization is disjointed and imprecise. The response meets the minimum word count requirement, but the failure to accurately report the data places this in Band 4.5 to 5.0.
Coherence and Cohesion — Band 5.0
The response is structured into four paragraphs, which represents a logical attempt to organize an introduction, body details, and an overall summary. However, progression and cohesion are heavily hindered by awkward transitions such as 'Strolling further,' and mechanical or faulty cohesive devices. Referencing is frequently unclear, and the internal flow within paragraphs is disjointed—for instance, jumping abruptly between years and visitor types. Paragraphing is present, but the relationships between sentences are often unclear. This aligns with Band 5.0.
Lexical Resource — Band 5.0
The vocabulary used is very basic and repetitive, featuring numerous awkward word choices and non-standard collocations (e.g., 'firstly visitors', 'returning people', 'data of new visitor was accounted at', 'minor incline', 'minor decreased'). There are also spelling and word-formation errors such as 'infirred' instead of 'inferred'. The range of vocabulary is limited and inadequate for a standard academic response, occasionally impeding the reader's comprehension. This performance sits firmly at Band 4.5 to 5.0.
Grammatical Range and Accuracy — Band 5.0
The text displays a very limited range of grammatical structures. While there are some attempts at complex sentences, they are frequently faulty or ungrammatical (e.g., 'which was rapidly decreased', 'In 2004, saw a minor incline', 'and it continues to rise was at 15000'). Frequent errors in tense consistency, voice, and preposition usage occur throughout the response (e.g., 'who visit in carly island', 'the figure was at 4000'). These errors cause frequent difficulty and strain for the reader, fitting the Band 4.5 to 5.0 criteria.
