Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 4.0
The response falls well short of the minimum word count requirement of 150 words, stopping abruptly at only 89 words. Consequently, the task is addressed only minimally and tangentially. While the writer attempts to present some basic information from the charts, such as the UK and Germany export figures in 2000 and 2011, the overview is fragmented, and the response trails off mid-sentence without completing the summary. To improve, the student must ensure they write at least the minimum required length and develop a complete overview alongside detailed supporting data.
Coherence and Cohesion: Band 4.0
Information and ideas are not arranged coherently in this response. The text is broken into very short, disjointed paragraphs and incomplete sentences, making it difficult to follow a clear logical progression. There is a lack of effective cohesive devices to link ideas together smoothly, and the abrupt ending of the final sentence highlights the poor overall organisation. To achieve a higher score, the student needs to structure their writing into a clear introduction, an overview paragraph, and well-developed body paragraphs connected by appropriate transition signals.
Lexical Resource: Band 5.0
The vocabulary used is basic and repetitive, relying heavily on simple terms like 'goods', 'exports', and countries' names. There are several spelling mistakes, such as 'frrom' instead of 'from', 'india' and 'china' written with lower-case letters, and 'united kindom' alongside 'exporr'. These errors and the limited range of lexical items strain the reader and restrict the response to a lower band. To improve, the student should expand their vocabulary to include precise synonyms, accurate geographical names, and correct spelling.
Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 4.5
The grammatical range is very limited, consisting mainly of simple structures with frequent errors. There are issues with capitalization, such as failing to capitalise proper nouns like 'india', 'china', and 'united kindom'. Furthermore, sentence structures are incomplete or poorly constructed, as seen in phrases like 'germany had 48% The highest exports goods to china' and the unfinished sentence at the end. To enhance grammatical performance, the writer must focus on sentence completeness, accurate punctuation, proper capitalization, and basic subject-verb agreement.
