Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 5.0

You identify the broad topic and report several relevant features, including the UK’s 29% share of exports to India in 2000 falling to 13% in 2011, and Germany’s leading 48% share of exports to China in 2011. However, the overview is incomplete and some comparisons are inaccurate or unclear. For example, Austria is not consistently the smallest share across the India data, and the statement that six countries were below 5% mixes figures from India and China without specifying the year or destination. The claim that Belgium was the second-largest exporter to India in 2011 is also incorrect: Germany was first at 25%, while Belgium was second at 20%. Select the main trends for each destination and support them with accurate, clearly labelled comparisons.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 5.5

The response has a basic paragraph structure, moving from an introduction and overview to details, and phrases such as “Overall” and “On the other hand” show an attempt to guide the reader. However, progression is not consistently clear because India and China are repeatedly combined within the same statements. For instance, “six countries hold exports to India and China under 5%” does not make clear which chart or year is being described. Some linking words, including “Whereas” and “Respectively,” do not establish the relationships intended, and the final paragraph shifts between India and China without a clear sequence. Organise the details by destination, compare 2000 with 2011 within each section, and use simpler, more precise transitions.

Lexical Resource: Band 5.0

You use some task-relevant vocabulary, including “proportion,” “figure,” “share,” and “exports,” so the reader can recognise the subject. However, the range is limited and several inaccurate word choices or spellings make parts difficult to understand, such as “gods” for “goods,” “hold” for “held,” and “highet” for “highest.” Phrases such as “biggest proportion” and “under 10% exports” are also imprecise or unnatural for describing chart data. Aim for accurate collocations such as “accounted for,” “represented,” and “the largest share,” and check country names and common chart vocabulary carefully. More precise wording would help distinguish the figures for India from those for China.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.0

You attempt both simple and more complex sentence forms, including a contrast with “While” and a relative clause in “Germany only highet on which was export…”. However, many sentences contain errors in verb forms, articles, agreement, or sentence construction, which sometimes make the intended comparison hard to follow. For example, “it clearly seen” needs a verb (“it is clearly seen”), and “United Kingdom hold biggest proportion” needs an appropriate past-tense verb and article (“the United Kingdom held the biggest proportion”). The sentence beginning “While, six countries…” is also an incomplete clause, and punctuation around lists is inconsistent. Practise complete sentences with accurate past-tense reporting, and use fewer complex constructions until their grammar is secure.
