Task Achievement / Task Response — Band 5.0
Kandidat mencoba merangkum perubahan utama antara kedua denah, mencatat penambahan tempat duduk luar ruangan, area barbekyu, bar selada, dan konter penyajian yang diperbarui. Namun, respons tersebut kurang memiliki gambaran keseluruhan yang jelas dan kohesif mengenai transformasi secara menyeluruh. Selain itu, beberapa deskripsi tidak akurat atau membingungkan, seperti menyatakan bahwa kafe sebelumnya hanya melayani makanan di dalam ruangan (which is true, but phrased awkwardly) serta membingungkan tata letak area bawa pulang dan bar kopi yang menggantikan ruang makan staf. Informasi disajikan agak terpotong-potong, sehingga cakupan data visual menjadi tidak utuh. Hal ini sejalan dengan Band 5.0.
Coherence and Cohesion — Band 5.0
Teks dibagi menjadi tiga paragraf singkat, namun progresi logis di dalam dan antar kalimat sangat lemah. Perangkat kohesif digunakan secara canggung atau salah, seperti 'At the new design' dan 'Besides the places get bigger'. Pengacuan terkadang tidak jelas, dan susunan secara keseluruhan kurang memiliki transisi yang mulus. Penggunaan paragraf telah dicoba, namun pengorganisasian internal gagal membimbing pembaca secara logis melalui perubahan komparatif yang ditunjukkan pada peta. Hal ini sesuai dengan deskriptor Band 5.0.
Lexical Resource — Band 5.0
Kosakatanya terbatas dan berulang, dengan kesalahan yang nyata dalam pemilihan kata dan morfologi (e.g., 'coffe bar', 'an barbecue's area', 'seperated each other', 'recycling trash based on the type of its bin'). Meskipun siswa mencoba menggunakan beberapa kosakata yang kurang umum terkait tugas tersebut, ketidakakuratan yang sering terjadi dalam ejaan, kolokasi, dan pembentukan kata menimbulkan sedikit kesulitan bagi pembaca dan membatasi skor pada Band 5.0.
Grammatical Range and Accuracy — Band 5.0
Respons tersebut menampilkan rentang struktur kalimat yang sangat terbatas, dan upaya untuk membuat kalimat yang lebih kompleks sering kali keliru (e.g., 'Today, the cafe's not only served in indoor area, there are plenty of space at outdoor, and it suggested as barbecue's area'). Terdapat kesalahan tata bahasa yang sering terjadi yang melibatkan kesesuaian subjek-kata kerja, preposisi, artikel, dan kebingungan kalimat aktif/pasif (e.g., 'the cafe's only serving indoor', 'the new design gave the experience'). Kesalahan-kesalahan ini menghambat kelancaran membaca, menempatkan performa pada Band 5.0.
