Student answer (Band 5.0)

The environment is growing more and more people are choosing to recycle. But some people suggest that recycling is not enough. They believe we need to consume less

.

Environmental concern is growing, and recycling has become a popular habit. Some argue that recycling the wastes is great step to protect the environment and stop the pollution, but some argue that we have to cunsume our assumptions to save energy loss and other things also.

On the one hand, some people believe that recycling is a great step if we want to clean our environment. Furthermore if we want to stop the pollution in our society . In case of that, recycling in plastic wastes or different kinds of waste leafs becomes a significcant source of fertilizer which we are used in our lands. These prespects creates a lot of benefits for us.Our Govt. also pays off to different companys who take steo in these work to save their community and their homecountry.

If we discuss on the other hand , the peoples who want to reduce our consumptions instead of recycling, because it also means a lot like it save our energy and water preservations. When we consume our assumptions in our daily life i think a lot benefits will be automatically created for us . However, it also save our time and energy which we can utilize into other kinds of work.If we see these in different sides of views, we got a lot benefits especially in our networth which will be a adorable source to improve our economic stablity.

In a conclusions, i think both approaches are best at their own experiences because recycling is also great approach to adopt different kinds things that was especially used in our lands, but to reduce the consumptions is also best because to strong our economy it will be superb way, as prevention is better than cure.

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 5.0

You address both views by discussing recycling and reducing consumption, and your conclusion states that both approaches have value. However, the position is not fully clear: the introduction says people should “consume our assumptions,” while the conclusion supports both approaches without explaining how they compare or which you consider more important. The supporting ideas are also limited and sometimes unclear. For example, you mention waste becoming fertilizer and reduced consumption saving energy and water, but you do not explain these points with a specific example or show how they support your argument. Develop each view with a clear reason and relevant example, then state your own position consistently. The 24 words copied from the task prompt were not counted.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 5.0

The response has a basic structure, with an introduction, separate paragraphs for the two views, and a conclusion. Phrases such as “On the one hand” and “on the other hand” help signal the discussion. However, progression within paragraphs is often difficult to follow, and some links are mechanical or inaccurate. For instance, “Furthermore if we want to stop the pollution…” is left as an incomplete thought, while “In case of that” does not clearly connect the following point. The conclusion repeats the two positions rather than drawing them together. Use complete topic sentences, connect each explanation directly to its main idea, and make references such as “these” and “it” clearly identify what they mean.

Lexical Resource: Band 4.5

You attempt vocabulary relevant to the topic, including “recycling,” “pollution,” “fertilizer,” “preservations,” and “economic stability.” However, the range is limited by repeated general words such as “great,” “benefits,” and “things,” and several inaccurate choices make ideas hard to understand. “Consume our assumptions” appears where you mean reducing consumption, and “waste leafs” is unclear. There are also noticeable spelling and word-form errors, including “significcant,” “prespects,” “companys,” and “stablity.” These issues sometimes make the reader work to infer your meaning. Build a more precise set of topic phrases and check spelling and collocations; for example, use “reduce household consumption” and “conserve water and energy.”

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.0

You use both simple statements and attempts at longer sentences, including clauses introduced by “because” and “which.” However, the range is limited, and complex structures are often faulty or incomplete. “Furthermore if we want to stop the pollution in our society” is a fragment, and “These prespects creates” has a subject–verb agreement problem. Other examples include “the peoples who want to reduce our consumptions” and “In a conclusions,” where number and article forms are not controlled. Punctuation also interrupts meaning, as in the space before the full stop after “society.” Practise building complete sentences with one main clause and a clearly connected supporting clause, then check agreement, articles, and sentence boundaries.
