Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 5.0

You identify relevant overall patterns, especially Germany’s leading share of exports to China and the UK and Belgium’s prominence in India in 2000. You also include several figures, such as Germany’s rise in China from 38% to 48%. However, the response only partially covers the charts: the final discussion of China is cut off, and there is little comparison of how the country shares changed between the two years. Some details are inaccurate or unclear—for example, Belgium and the UK were not almost the same in India in 2000 (25% and 29%), and the stated groups of “least exporters” include countries with substantially different shares. A fuller overview and accurate selection of key changes would make the summary more complete.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 5.0

The response has a basic structure, with an opening, an overview, and separate paragraphs referring to India and China. Time markers such as “In 2000” and “In 2011” help the reader follow the intended comparisons. However, progression is difficult to track because the discussion shifts between years and destinations without a consistent organising pattern, and the China section ends mid-sentence. Connectors such as “while” are used repeatedly, sometimes joining ideas that are not clearly contrasted. Grouping the information by destination and then comparing both years within each paragraph, with a complete concluding section, would create a clearer overall progression.

Lexical Resource: Band 5.0

You use some task-relevant vocabulary, including “exporter,” “percentage,” and “largest,” so the topic is generally understandable. However, the range is limited and several word choices or collocations are unnatural, such as “exports comparison,” “did the almost same export,” and “raised their export.” Repetition of “export” and “least exporters” also makes the account less precise. There are noticeable spelling errors, including “Overll,” “Kindom,” and “Belguim,” which can distract the reader. Aim for accurate chart language such as “accounted for,” “share,” “increased,” and “smallest proportion,” and check spelling before submitting.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.0

You attempt some longer sentences and use time clauses and contrasts, for example, “While on other hand…” and “In 2011, Germany raised their export…”. However, complex constructions are often faulty, and sentence control is inconsistent. Examples include “Germany is all time biggest exporter in China,” where articles and tense are missing, and “Germany, France and Italy did export range between…,” which lacks a grammatical structure for describing the figures. Subject–verb agreement is also problematic in “Germany raised their export.” Punctuation and bracket use further interrupt the flow. Practise clear comparative sentence patterns, such as “Germany’s share rose from 38% to 48%,” and check articles, agreement, and complete sentence structure.
