Firstly and formost they should be recuired to work in the country where they lived. A professionals such as doctors and engineers is an establishment that cares for health and construction. It is important for health care and other object of building cultural historical, medial field importance and makes them availabile to public. May have internal fight with the dysfunctional factors and somehow manage to the problems and do not let anyone to know.

In one country, when faced the critical viruses time on this time they needed the help in medical field. Foe example in 2019 when the covid 19 is comung and mony of the individual are suffering in the virus and on present situation needed the professionals who master in medical field. On the other hand when a one country faced the fluid and a earthquack and after the war then after country to rebuild the building comerical and urban areas on that time engineers are build they build the most of the area who affected by the dyafunctional factors.

In conclusion, doctors and engineers are most importat for his country where tehy lived and they got his degree dont need to work outside the country. They can do his country whos opinion is the professionals must be relived to work in another country it is not good for his country success.

Task Achievement / Task Response — Band 4.0

The response attempts to discuss both views regarding whether professionals should work in their home countries and gives a basic opinion, mentioning the roles of doctors and engineers during crises like COVID-19 or natural disasters. However, the development of ideas is severely hampered by pervasive linguistic issues. While the prompt is addressed in broad terms, the arguments lack clear articulation and logical extension, remaining limited and repetitive. The position is stated, but the support lacks clarity and depth. Consequently, the performance aligns best with the Band 4 descriptors, where the response addresses the task minimally and the main features are inadequately developed.

Coherence and Cohesion — Band 4.0

The essay is divided into paragraphs, and the writer attempts to use transition markers such as 'Firstly and formost' and 'In conclusion'. However, the overall organization lacks a clear, logical progression. Sentences within paragraphs are frequently disconnected and disjointed, making it extremely difficult to follow the flow of thought. Referencing is often confusing, with pronouns like 'his' and 'they' applied incorrectly or ambiguously, as seen in phrases like 'compare to they thought they should be free'. These cohesive failures and mechanical transitions place the response securely at Band 4, where information and ideas are not arranged coherently and progression is lacking.

Lexical Resource — Band 4.0

Vocabulary is extremely basic, repetitive, and often misused, which severely strains the reader's understanding. Examples of inadequate word choice and severe collocation errors appear throughout the text, such as 'medicals and construction', 'object of building cultural historical, medial field importance', and 'faced the fluid and a earthquack'. The writer attempts some less common vocabulary related to the topic, such as 'dysfunctional factors' and 'comerical and urban areas', but these are used incorrectly or inappropriately. This level of lexical control matches the Band 4 descriptors, where vocabulary is basic and errors frequently strain the reader.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy — Band 4.0

The grammatical range is very limited, and sentence structures are frequently incomplete, tangled, or ungrammatical. There is a complete lack of accurate complex structures, and even simple sentences contain frequent errors in tense, subject-verb agreement, and word order. Examples include 'his responsibility to work for his country compare to they thought', 'when a one country faced the fluid and a earthquack', and 'they got his degree dont need to work outside'. Punctuation is largely ineffective, leading to long, run-on sentences that impede communication. These widespread, frequent errors across almost every sentence place the grammar score at Band 4.
