Task Achievement / Task Response — Band 5.5

The response addresses all parts of the prompt by discussing the view that increased interaction through globalisation is positive and providing a personal opinion. The position is clear from the introduction and maintained throughout the essay. However, the development of ideas lacks depth and relies on repetitive arguments and somewhat vague generalisations rather than well-supported examples. For instance, the discussion on developing countries and internet usage circles back to similar points about trading and culture without fully exploring the deeper implications of globalisation. Overall, the task is addressed adequately, placing it at a Band 6.0 level for Task Achievement.

Coherence and Cohesion — Band 5.5

The essay is generally coherent with a clear overall arrangement and paragraph structure, including an introduction, two body paragraphs, and a conclusion. However, cohesive devices are sometimes mechanical or repetitive, as seen with frequent uses of 'by using these apps' and 'as a result'. Referencing is occasionally unclear, such as 'The view will be discussed further' which interrupts the natural flow. Paragraphing is present, but internal cohesion within paragraphs could be smoother and more logically linked. This performance aligns with the Band 6.0 descriptors for Coherence and Cohesion.

Lexical Resource — Band 5.5

The student uses an adequate range of vocabulary for the task, attempting some less common lexical items such as 'globalisation', 'international level', and 'cultivation'. However, there are noticeable word choice and spelling inaccuracies, such as 'more easier' instead of 'easier', 'rose' instead of 'risen', 'concerened' for 'concerned', 'muy' for 'my', 'worlld', 'incontact', and 'opinin'. While communication is not severely impeded, these recurring lexical and spelling errors prevent the response from achieving a higher band. Therefore, a score of 5.5 is appropriate.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy — Band 5.0

The response demonstrates a mix of simple and complex sentence forms, but grammatical control is inconsistent. There are several noticeable errors in grammar and punctuation, such as 'These days it become more easier', 'individuals are using internet' (missing articles), 'they works', and run-on structures like 'In this way, people can exchange their ideas and traditions with other nations and can intouch with them.' Punctuation is also weak, particularly regarding lowercase 'i' pronouns and comma splices in compound sentences. Because the errors occur frequently throughout the text, the grammar score is constrained to Band 5.0.
