Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 3.5

The response identifies a broad comparison between exports to India and China and notes that Germany is prominent, but it does not give a clear, accurate overview of the main patterns. Germany was the largest exporter to China in both years and rose from 38% to 48%; for India, the UK led in 2000 and Germany in 2011. The claim that Austria had the lowest exports is not consistently supported, and most figures and important changes are omitted. Some details are inaccurate or unclear, such as saying Finland and Belgium were the most relevant for India. The final comment about consumers choosing quality is not shown by the charts. The response is also one word below the 150-word minimum; develop the key comparisons with accurate figures and omit unsupported conclusions.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 4.5

There is a basic paragraph structure, with an introduction, an overview, a body paragraph and a concluding sentence, and phrases such as “Overall” and “To begin with” signal stages of the response. However, the information does not progress in a clear comparison: India and China are mixed together, and the body moves from one country to another without grouping the most important trends. References such as “from here” and “they” are unclear, while “In conclusion” introduces an unsupported point rather than summarising the chart. Organise the body into one paragraph for India and one for China, and use clear links to compare the two years and identify the main changes.

Lexical Resource: Band 4.5

The response uses some task-related vocabulary, including “exports,” “goods,” “highest” and “lowest,” so the topic is generally recognisable. However, the range is limited and several phrases are inaccurate or awkward, such as “data exports,” “most relivent,” “export goods from here” and “buy their good.” Spelling errors, including “germany,” “india,” “Neitherlands” and “relivent,” also reduce precision. Some wording does not fit the chart: it reports export shares, not which goods consumers buy or their quality. Use precise terms such as “accounted for,” “share of exports” and “increased/decreased,” and check country names and spelling.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 4.5

The response attempts simple statements and some longer sentences, but grammatical control is inconsistent. Examples include “the germany has the highest export,” where the article and noun form are problematic, and “France export goods to India in 2000 to 2011 was almost same,” which has errors in agreement, tense and sentence construction. The phrase “in 200 to 2011” also makes the time reference unclear, and several clauses are joined in ways that make their relationships difficult to follow. Use complete, direct sentences with a consistent past tense for the years shown, for example, “Germany’s share of exports to China rose from 38% in 2000 to 48% in 2011.” Check articles, plural forms and subject–verb agreement.
