Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 4.5

The response sits below the minimum word count of 150 words, coming in at 143 words with several words copied directly from the prompt. The writing addresses the task only partially because the information presented is heavily confused and inaccurate. For instance, the student states that 'germany and italy ,netherland france exports are slightly incarese in 2000' and misinterprets the charts by claiming that 48 percent of China's export goes to Germany in 2011 as meaning the highest rank. While an attempt is made to identify main countries such as Germany and the UK, the overall summary lacks clarity and fails to provide a coherent selection of key features and comparisons due to severe misinterpretation of the data.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 4.5

The overall progression of information is difficult to follow, resulting in a response that lacks a coherent arrangement. The text is poorly structured with a lack of proper paragraphing, as everything is crammed into a single block of text or broken by erratic and non-standard spacing. Cohesive devices are either missing or used inappropriately, such as conversational transitions like 'Now pouring some lights on' and 'now look the 2011'. Referencing is also confusing, making it hard for the reader to follow which country or year is being discussed, which pulls the organizational quality down.

Lexical Resource: Band 4.5

The vocabulary used is very basic, repetitive, and heavily flawed. The student relies on rudimentary terms and misspells key words throughout the text, such as 'diedram', 'diegram', 'incares', 'sighlty', and 'garmany'. There are noticeable word choice and collocation errors, such as 'india,s goods report off' and 'filling the other exports'. This limited range and the frequency of errors strain the reader and obscure the intended meaning of the data comparisons.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 4.5

The grammatical structure is severely limited and inaccurate. The text consists of poorly constructed, run-on sentences that lack proper punctuation and capitalization, such as starting sentences with lowercase letters in the middle of the text. There are frequent errors in verb tenses, such as mixing past and present references ('is the highest rank', 'goes to garmany'), missing auxiliary verbs, and faulty sentence formation. These persistent errors make many sentences difficult to parse and cause frequent comprehension difficulties for the reader.
