Task Achievement / Task Response — Band 4.5
The response attempts to summarise the charts comparing EU exports to India and China in 2000 and 2011. However, the student missed a significant part of the visual data by entirely omitting the data for China in the body paragraphs and overview. Furthermore, the response falls short of the 150-word minimum, containing only 148 words. While key figures like the UK in 2000 (29%) and Germany in 2011 (25% for India) are mentioned, the lack of coverage of the China charts limits task achievement. Ideas are presented but remain under-developed.
Coherence and Cohesion — Band 5.0
The essay attempts a paragraph structure, including an introduction and body paragraphs with transitional markers like 'To begin with' and 'As far as 2011 is concerned'. However, paragraphing is poorly executed with inconsistent spacing and missing capitalisation ('overall,it can be seen'). Referencing is sometimes unclear, and cohesive devices feel mechanical. There is a lack of overall progression due to the omission of the China data, leading to a fragmented structure that affects logical flow.
Lexical Resource — Band 5.0
The lexical range is limited and repetitive, relying heavily on basic terms like 'sent', 'goods', and 'countries'. There are noticeable vocabulary and spelling errors, such as 'spainmerely', 'expoted', 'ti', and 'folowed'. Less common vocabulary is largely absent, and word choices lack precision (e.g., 'things were exported' in the opening sentence). These errors do not completely obscure meaning, but they restrict the range to a basic level.
Grammatical Range and Accuracy — Band 5.0
The student uses a mix of simple and complex sentence forms, but grammatical control is weak. There are frequent errors in punctuation, missing articles, and subject-verb agreement, such as 'large proportion of good was sent', 'Austria sent only one percentage', and 'other countries like Sweden ,spain italy had sent EU goods less than 10%.' Punctuation and spacing issues are pervasive throughout the text, impacting readability.
