Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 6.0
The response covers all parts of the task by reporting data for both India and China across the two years, 2000 and 2011. An overview is attempted, noting key countries like the UK, Germany, and Belgium, though it contains some awkward phrasing ("highly accomidated by"). The main features and comparisons are generally identified, such as the UK's decline in Indian exports and Germany's dominance in China, but there are some inaccuracies and vague statements, such as "remaining all the other countries and other got slightly inclined." Overall, the task is addressed adequately, placing it firmly at a band 6.0 level.
Coherence and Cohesion: Band 5.5
The text is arranged into four paragraphs, providing a logical overall structure with an introduction, overview, and two body paragraphs dedicated to India and China respectively. However, cohesion is often faulty or mechanical. There are repetitive transitions ("In 2000...", "Lateron...") and poor referencing or connective links between clauses, such as run-on sentences ("while in China Germany was accounted whereas Austria was the lowest..."). Paragraphing is present, but internal cohesion lacks smooth progression. This performance aligns with band 5.5.
Lexical Resource: Band 5.0
The student attempts some less common vocabulary relevant to data reporting, such as "moderately declined", "marginally droped", and "drastically rosed". However, there are frequent word choice and spelling errors throughout the text, including "diffierent", "accomidated", "kingdon", "droped", "rapidely", "inclined", "respectevely", "germany" (uncapitalized), "reamining", and "treading". These lexical errors sometimes cause strain for the reader, though communication is generally maintained. This vocabulary profile corresponds to a band 5.0.
Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.0
The response shows a mix of simple and complex sentence forms, though attempts at complex structures frequently contain errors. There are issues with subject-verb agreement and tense consistency (e.g., "exports... illustrated", "United Kingdom and Belgium was"). Punctuation and capitalization are also problematic, with missing capital letters at the beginning of sentences and extra spaces (e.g., "Overall,The"). Grammatical errors are frequent and occasionally cause difficulty for the reader, fitting the band 5.0 descriptors.
