Task Achievement / Task Response — Band 5.0
The response addresses both parts of the task by discussing the views on whether professionals should work in their training country or abroad, and provides a clear personal stance in the introduction. However, the development of ideas is somewhat limited and repetitive. For instance, the discussion on why professionals should stay in their home country relies heavily on general notions of gaining experience and knowledge, as seen in the phrase 'he gain more experiences and knowladge.' Similarly, the counter-arguments regarding moving abroad lack specific supporting examples and drift slightly into unclear reasoning. Because the ideas are presented but insufficiently extended with robust examples, this performance aligns closely with Band 5.
Coherence and Cohesion — Band 5.0
The essay displays some overall organisation, with a discernible introduction, body paragraphs, and a conclusion. However, progression is frequently hindered by mechanical and inappropriate cohesive devices, such as starting sentences with 'In adittion,' 'however,' and 'Athough.' Paragraphing is attempted, but the grouping of ideas lacks logical flow; for example, the second body paragraph mixes reasons for staying home with abrupt transitions into moving abroad. Furthermore, referencing is sometimes unclear, as seen in the pronoun usage ('if he think... then he want to go'). These limitations in logical progression and cohesive control place the writing firmly in Band 5.
Lexical Resource — Band 4.0
The vocabulary used is basic and repetitive, frequently relying on high-frequency words like 'job,' 'country,' 'experience,' and 'knowledge.' There are numerous spelling and word choice errors throughout the text, including 'prospactive' instead of perspective, 'gob' instead of job, 'sinior' instead of senior, and 'profassionality' instead of professionalism. These lexical inadequacies and frequent spelling errors strain the reader and reflect a limited lexical range, which corresponds to a Band 4.0 descriptor.
Grammatical Range and Accuracy — Band 4.0
The writer attempts a mix of simple and complex sentences, but grammatical accuracy is very weak. There are frequent errors in verb forms, articles, and prepositions, such as 'should required to job' instead of should be required to work, 'people how believe' instead of people who believe, and missing auxiliary verbs like 'he earn more.' Punctuation and capitalization are also erratic, with missing spaces after periods. Due to the high frequency of basic grammatical errors that occasionally impede understanding, the grammar score is Band 4.0.
