Task Achievement / Task Response — Band 4.0
The response fails to address the prompt adequately. While it mentions the two sides of the argument, the ideas are underdeveloped and lack logical progression. The essay does not provide a balanced discussion of the two views, and the personal opinion is unclear. Furthermore, the response is under the 250-word minimum, which significantly impacts the development of the argument. The content is often tangential, focusing on personal anecdotes and vague references to '2020' rather than discussing the professional implications of training and migration. Consequently, the task is only partially addressed.
Coherence and Cohesion — Band 4.0
The essay lacks a clear structure. Paragraphing is present but does not serve to organize ideas logically. There is a lack of cohesive devices, making the transition between sentences abrupt and confusing. For instance, the jump from discussing doctors and engineers to '2020' and then to 'parents' creates a disjointed narrative. Referencing is often unclear, and the progression of ideas is difficult to follow, which forces the reader to work hard to understand the intended meaning.
Lexical Resource — Band 4.0
The vocabulary is basic and repetitive, which limits the ability to express complex ideas. There are frequent errors in word choice and spelling, such as 'from my opinion' instead of 'in my opinion', 'there' used instead of 'their', and 'silenced' instead of 'silence'. The range of vocabulary is insufficient to discuss the topic with any degree of precision or sophistication. The misuse of common words frequently impedes communication.
Grammatical Range and Accuracy — Band 4.0
The response contains frequent grammatical errors that often distort meaning. There is a lack of control over sentence structure, with many run-on sentences and fragments. Basic errors in subject-verb agreement, tense usage (e.g., 'most of people are live'), and punctuation are pervasive. Complex sentence structures are attempted but are almost always faulty, leading to a lack of clarity. The high frequency of errors makes the text difficult to read and understand.
