Student answer (Band 6.0)

Nowadays, most of individuals have concern about the environmental situation and they are choosing to recycle most of product and waste While, some residents says that recycles is not enough for the save environment they also have to do something else. Also they prefer to consume less. The latter views is most important to conserve the greenery. Both the views are discuses in the following paragraphs.

To begin with, many citizens are taken a brief steps to save the environment because now the global warming effect is increasing day by day so the climate changes can be damage the crops and health of the peoples. Furthermore, some peoples are told that have to less used of plastic material because plastic can not be decomposed that lead to the wasted of environment, and recycle all the things that are used again for different purpose. Additionally, government should also made the strict rules and regulation for conserve the nature for better life style and for decreased the global warming effect. For example, now government should include about the save nature and decreased the pollution rate in their education syllabus.

On the other hand, a few individuals are said that the recycling process is not enough for save the nature form that they have to used the organic thing as much as possible and should avoid to used the polyethene bags and [plastic in so many products. Besides this, government should make rules about cutting trees and used minimum nature product also have to done plantation for more and more protection from the pollution.

In conclusion, more plantation can be done by people it help to reduce the effect of greenhouse and increasing the oxygen level. In my opinion the latter views is very beneficial to concern about the environment.

Task Achievement / Task Response — Band 6.0

The response addresses both parts of the prompt: the importance of recycling and the argument for consuming less. However, the development of these ideas is somewhat superficial. While you mention global warming and plastic waste, the arguments lack depth and specific examples. The position is clear, but the explanation of why consuming less is superior to recycling is not fully explored. To improve, ensure that each point is supported with a clear, logical explanation rather than just stating the idea. The response covers the requirements, but the lack of detailed supporting evidence limits the score.

Coherence and Cohesion — Band 6.0

The essay is organized into paragraphs, which helps the reader follow the structure. However, the use of cohesive devices is often mechanical or inaccurate, such as 'While, some residents says' and 'The latter views is'. The progression of ideas is sometimes disjointed, particularly in the second paragraph where the transition between global warming and government rules is abrupt. Referencing is occasionally unclear, and the logical flow between sentences could be improved by using a wider variety of linking words and ensuring that pronouns clearly refer back to their intended nouns.

Lexical Resource — Band 5.5

The vocabulary is generally limited and repetitive. You rely on basic terms like 'save the nature' and 'do something else', which lack the precision required for a higher band. There are also frequent errors in word choice and collocation, such as 'the latter views is' (should be 'view') and 'less used of plastic' (should be 'less use of plastic'). While the meaning is generally conveyed, the lack of variety and the persistent errors in word formation and usage prevent a higher score. Expanding your vocabulary to include more academic collocations would be beneficial.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy — Band 5.5

The essay contains a high frequency of grammatical errors that occur in almost every sentence. These include subject-verb agreement issues ('some residents says', 'some peoples are told'), incorrect verb forms ('many citizens are taken a brief steps'), and awkward sentence structures. While you attempt some complex sentences, they are often faulty, which hinders the clarity of your arguments. To improve, focus on mastering basic sentence construction, specifically subject-verb agreement and the correct use of articles and prepositions, before attempting more complex structures.
