The main purpose of easy is to slove the problem, which have been seeing by many people when they shifted to a large city is accomodiation. In my view, it is a best opinion to solve the issue of accomodation so, i agree with this statment. Because in this way it will be possible to solve the problem of indiviual houses.

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 5.0
The response addresses the prompt by taking a clear, albeit basic, stance agreeing with the statement that tall apartment blocks are the best way to provide housing. Key ideas are presented, such as saving agricultural land, protecting people from industrial pollution, and the risks of natural disasters. However, these points remain somewhat under-developed and are often clouded by extraneous arguments regarding traditional values and interpersonal conflicts. While all parts of the prompt are touched upon, the reasoning lacks depth and clear extension, which aligns the response closely with a Band 5 performance.
Coherence and Cohesion: Band 5.0
The essay is divided into paragraphs, and basic cohesive devices such as 'Firstly', 'Secondly', and 'In conclusion' are employed to structure the text. However, logical progression is frequently disrupted by abrupt shifts in topic within paragraphs. For example, the second paragraph abruptly moves from community welfare to potential social disturbances and daily routines. Furthermore, referencing is sometimes unclear, and punctuation errors hinder smooth reading, resulting in a choppy overall arrangement that fits the Band 5 descriptor.
Lexical Resource: Band 5.0
The vocabulary used is generally basic and repetitive, with noticeable errors in word choice and spelling throughout the text, such as 'slove' instead of solve, 'accomodation', 'indiviual', 'walfare', 'earitate', 'meterial', 'exuast', 'sacter', and 'desastrous'. While the student attempts some less common terms like 'disastrous', 'residential areas', and 'agriculture sacter', the high frequency of spelling mistakes and awkward phrasing (e.g., 'a small piece of soil', 'plate farm of humanity') causes difficulty for the reader, placing this response at Band 4.5, rounded to Band 5.
Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 4.0
The writing demonstrates a very limited range of sentence structures, relying mostly on simple sentences joined by coordinating conjunctions or faulty complex structures. There are frequent grammatical errors, including missing articles, incorrect verb forms ('when such large buildings will construct'), comma splices, and run-on sentences (e.g., 'In my view, it is a best opinion to solve the issue of accomodation so, i agree with this statment'). These errors frequently cause strain and difficulty for the reader, matching the criteria for Band 4.0.
