Task Achievement / Task Response — Band 4.0
The student addresses the prompt by discussing both views—that professionals should work in their home country and that they should have the freedom to move abroad—and attempts to state a personal position. However, the response falls significantly short of the 250-word minimum, containing only 180 words. Consequently, the ideas remain severely under-developed, lacking sufficient support, explanation, and relevant examples. The arguments presented in the body paragraphs are repetitive and abbreviated. This places the response firmly within Band 4 for Task Achievement due to minimal task completion and restricted development.
Coherence and Cohesion — Band 4.0
The text demonstrates an attempt to structure an essay using transition signals such as 'Firstly' and 'Secondly'. However, the overall organization is weak and lacks a clear progression of ideas. Paragraphing is poorly handled, with single sentences often forming isolated paragraphs, such as the concluding sentence of the second body paragraph. Cohesive devices are repetitive and sometimes inaccurate. Referencing is also problematic, as pronouns like 'they' and 'their' often lack clear antecedents, making it difficult for the reader to follow the flow of argument. This corresponds to Band 4.
Lexical Resource — Band 4.0
The vocabulary used is basic and repetitive, frequently relying on simple terms such as 'country', 'people', 'good', and 'work'. There are noticeable errors in word choice and spelling throughout the text, including 'counrty', 'meanwhile' used incorrectly as a conjunction, 'there' instead of 'their', and 'foreign nations'. The range of vocabulary is limited and minimally adequate for conveying very simple meanings, but it fails to demonstrate the flexibility required for higher bands. This performance aligns with Band 4.
Grammatical Range and Accuracy — Band 4.0
The grammatical structures attempted are largely restricted to simple and occasionally faulty complex sentences. There are frequent, intrusive errors in basic grammar, such as subject-verb agreement issues ('professionals like doctors and engineers, should works', 'Some peoples believe'), incorrect verb forms ('if they wanted to thier own country'), and punctuation errors. These errors occur constantly throughout the text and frequently impede communication, reflecting the descriptors for Band 4.
