Task Achievement / Task Response — Band 5.0
You have attempted to address both the chart and the table, identifying some key features such as the highest and lowest categories. However, the response is incomplete, as it cuts off mid-sentence at the end. Furthermore, the data presentation is often confusing; for example, stating that postgraduate students were 'two fold' of undergraduates is mathematically inaccurate based on the percentages provided. To improve, ensure you clearly group data points and provide accurate comparisons rather than just listing figures. The overview is also somewhat disjointed, making it difficult for the reader to grasp the main trends immediately.
Coherence and Cohesion — Band 5.0
The response lacks a clear logical flow. While you use some cohesive devices like 'To begin with' and 'Furthermore', they are often used mechanically or incorrectly. Paragraphing is present but the internal structure of the paragraphs is weak, with sentences often feeling like a list of disconnected facts rather than a cohesive analysis. The referencing is frequently unclear, such as the use of 'the formar one and the latter one' without a clear antecedent. The abrupt ending of the text significantly disrupts the overall coherence of the response.
Lexical Resource — Band 5.0
Your vocabulary is limited and repetitive. You rely heavily on basic phrasing like 'the figure was' and 'the highest use'. There are several instances of awkward word choice and incorrect collocations, such as 'two fold use of library were recorderd' and '16% inclined'. Spelling errors, such as 'saff' (staff), 'availibility' (availability), 'heplfulness' (helpfulness), and 'og' (of), are frequent and detract from the professional tone required for an Academic Task 1 response. You need to expand your range of reporting verbs and descriptive adjectives to achieve a higher band.
Grammatical Range and Accuracy — Band 5.0
The grammar is frequently inaccurate, which often impedes communication. There are many sentence fragments and run-on sentences, such as 'the highest used of library there were full time undergraduates students and individuals.' Subject-verb agreement is inconsistent, and there is a lack of control over complex sentence structures. Punctuation is also problematic, with missing spaces after periods and incorrect comma usage. While you attempt to use some complex structures, they are almost always marred by grammatical errors, meaning the majority of your sentences are not error-free.
