Student answer (Band 4.0)
In few years, the globalisation has fastly increased through internet, airtravel trade and popular culture. Many people thought the interaction develop is good thing. Although some people might disagree, I completely agree not only because connect with international clients and better for economy, but also because more opportunties of jobs.
There are multiple benefits associated with this globalisation. Firstly, connect with international clients are developing skills. As working on different project are increasing knowledge and get hands on experience. For example Most of the USA companies are prefre to international employee because they have creatived ideas to solve the problem. Thus, every people have different idea to solve the one problem.

Task Achievement / Task Response — Band 4.0
The response fails to meet the minimum length requirement of 250 words, containing only 111 words. Consequently, the ideas are severely underdeveloped and truncated. Although the student attempts to present an opinion and mentions some benefits of globalisation such as job opportunities and connecting with international clients, the arguments are superficial and lack proper elaboration or specific examples. The conclusion is entirely missing, leaving the task only partially addressed. When weighed against the band descriptors, this performance aligns closely with Band 4, as the response falls significantly short of word count expectations and only touches upon the topic minimally.
Coherence and Cohesion — Band 4.0
The text is divided into two short paragraphs, but the overall organisation lacks a clear progression and a concluding summary. Cohesive devices are used minimally and sometimes awkwardly, such as 'Firstly, connect with international clients are developing skills' and 'Thus, every people have different idea'. Referencing and logical transitions between sentences are frequently faulty, making it difficult to follow the line of thought. Paragraphing is also inadequate due to the extremely short length of the response. These features reflect the characteristics of Band 4, where information and ideas are not arranged coherently and progression is lacking.
Lexical Resource — Band 4.0
The vocabulary used is basic and repetitive, with frequent errors in word choice and word formation. Examples include 'fastly' instead of 'quickly' or 'rapidly', 'airtravel trade' lacking proper conjunctions, and 'opportunties' containing a spelling error. The student attempts some less common terms like 'globalisation' and 'international', but these are undermined by severe collocation and grammatical errors such as 'prefre to international employee' instead of 'prefer international employees'. The lexical range is very limited, and errors frequently strain the reader, placing the response firmly in Band 4.
Grammatical Range and Accuracy — Band 4.0
The grammatical structures attempted are very limited and plagued by frequent, severe errors that often distort meaning. Examples include subject-verb agreement failures like 'connect with international clients are developing skills' and 'working on different project are increasing knowledge'. There are also frequent awkward phrasings and missing grammatical elements, such as 'Many people thought the interaction develop is good thing'. Complex sentence forms are attempted but are almost always faulty. The high frequency of errors across basic and complex structures aligns with the Band 4 descriptor, where errors are constant and significantly impede communication.
