Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 5.0
The response addresses the prompt by discussing both views regarding professionals working in their home countries or abroad, and provides a basic personal opinion at the end. However, the ideas are limited and under-developed, which keeps the response at this level. For instance, the reasons given for staying in the home country, such as comfort levels and emotional ties to patients, are mentioned rather than thoroughly extended. Similarly, the points about working abroad lack detailed examples or elaboration. The writer's position is presented, but it remains somewhat generalized and brief throughout the essay.
Coherence and Cohesion: Band 5.5
There is some basic organization with a clear paragraph structure, including an introduction, body paragraphs for each view, and a conclusion. However, the overall progression lacks smooth transitions between ideas, and cohesive devices are sometimes repetitive or inaccurate, such as 'Firstly' and 'However', which are used without strong logical linking to the surrounding sentences. Referencing is also occasionally unclear, as seen in the phrase 'some of them' where the antecedent is ambiguous. While the text is divided into paragraphs, the internal cohesion within these sections needs greater control to achieve a clearer flow.
Lexical Resource: Band 5.0
The vocabulary used is limited and minimally adequate for the task. There are noticeable lexical errors and awkward word choices throughout the text, such as 'weather' instead of 'whether', 'server' instead of 'serve', 'scale of paying' instead of 'pay scale' or 'salary', and 'survice' instead of 'survive' or 'reside'. Spelling errors like 'veiw', 'prodives', 'mention', 'contiune', and 'belive' also occur. These errors demonstrate a restricted range of vocabulary and occasional inaccuracies that can cause some difficulty for the reader.
Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.0
The writer demonstrates a limited range of sentence structures, relying heavily on basic patterns and making frequent errors when attempting complex sentences. There are numerous issues with verb forms, tense consistency, and subject-verb agreement, such as 'the doctors and engineers should server', 'they had been completed theirs studies have it's own benefits', and 'when the pateints are from their own country side the emotion become more strong'. Additionally, punctuation and article usage are frequently faulty, leading to errors that can cause difficulty and require the reader to re-read certain sentences to grasp the intended meaning.
