Student answer (Band 5.0)
The growth of pollution in the enviroment is incresing rapidly. In related, people choose to make eco friendly tour, which will be benifical to the enviroment. I think such postive trend is very important to save enviroment from global warning.
During summer families like to go for trip in such case they need to use transportation like airway, road ways and water way. Fuel is used in transportion, consuming more amount will effect enviroment in various ways like air, water and noise pollution. These will damage the eco-system by carbon emission. In related, reduction of transport can improve air quality. For example, an individuals planing for trip can take bus or railway leading to decrease of air pollution as well there will be less traffic on the road.
If an individuals attempt to understand the benifits of promoting eco- friendly ways, then enviroment will be have a safer area for all living creature. Industry can invent eco-tourism like farmering, gardening, etc. Such activites will allow people to under nature. The outcome will be positive in saving the earth like more plantation of tree, tourist will learn to respect the nature as well as they will indulge into the system of paticular areas they visit.

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 5.0
The response addresses the prompt by discussing whether the rise of eco-tourism is a positive trend, but the ideas remain underdeveloped and repetitive, such as mentioning pollution and transport without deep elaboration. Furthermore, the length requirement has not been met; the response contains only 217 words, falling short of the 250-word minimum. This under-length impacts the overall development and completeness of the task. Additionally, the essay cuts off mid-sentence at the end ("In conlusion, awarness of eco-tourisum will define a better outcome to save the"), which prevents a fully realised conclusion. Because of the insufficient word count and incomplete final paragraph, the response aligns best with a Band 5 for Task Achievement.
Coherence and Cohesion: Band 5.0
The essay is divided into paragraphs, but the logical progression is hindered by abrupt transitions and a very weak, incomplete concluding paragraph. While some cohesive devices are attempted, such as "During summer" and "In related", they are sometimes used unnaturally or incorrectly. Paragraphing is present, but the abrupt termination of the final paragraph disrupts the overall flow. Referencing is occasionally unclear, making it harder for the reader to follow the exact line of thought. Overall, the structural and cohesive weaknesses point firmly to a Band 5 descriptor level.
Lexical Resource: Band 5.0
The student uses a limited range of vocabulary with several noticeable spelling errors, such as "enviroment", "incresing", "benifical", "postive", "warming", "planing", "benifits", "farmering", "activites", "conlusion", and "awarness". There are also awkward word choices and collocations, such as "make eco friendly tour" and "global warning". While the vocabulary is minimally adequate to convey a basic meaning, the frequency of errors and the lack of less common lexical items restrict the score to a Band 5.
Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.0
The essay displays a very limited range of grammatical structures. Simple sentences dominate, and attempts at more complex constructions frequently contain errors, such as subject-verb agreement issues ("an individuals attempt", "tourist will learn") and incorrect preposition usage. Punctuation and article usage are also inconsistent. Frequent grammatical errors cause some difficulty for the reader and prevent the text from reaching a higher band. These characteristics match the Band 5 descriptors.
