Task Achievement / Task Response — Band 4.0
The response attempts to address the task by summarizing the provided data. However, the content is often unclear and difficult to follow due to significant inaccuracies in reporting the figures. For example, the description of the satisfaction levels is confusing and does not accurately reflect the data presented in the table. While the main features are identified, the lack of clarity in the interpretation of the figures means the response fails to fully address the task requirements. The information is presented in a way that makes it hard for the reader to understand the trends or comparisons intended. To improve, focus on accurately transcribing the data and organizing it into clear, logical comparisons.
Coherence and Cohesion — Band 4.0
The response is organized into paragraphs, but the progression of ideas is frequently interrupted by confusing phrasing and poor sentence structure. Cohesive devices are used, such as 'At fall fleeting glance' and 'Pareding further', but they are often misused or grammatically incorrect, which hinders the flow of the text. The referencing is also unclear, making it difficult to determine which data points are being discussed. The overall structure lacks the logical flow required for a higher band score, as the connection between the sentences is often tenuous or non-existent.
Lexical Resource — Band 4.0
The vocabulary range is very limited and contains numerous spelling errors that frequently impede communication. Words such as 'paichart', 'calebrated', 'persentag', 'amey', and 'stews' are either misspelled or misused to the point of being unrecognizable. There is little evidence of an attempt to use academic or precise language suitable for a report. The student relies on basic vocabulary, and even then, the choice of words is often inappropriate for the context. Significant improvement in spelling and the acquisition of topic-specific vocabulary is necessary to convey information accurately.
Grammatical Range and Accuracy — Band 4.0
The response contains frequent grammatical errors that make the text very difficult to read. There are issues with subject-verb agreement, incorrect word forms, and fragmented sentences. For instance, 'The paichart depict' should be 'The pie chart depicts', and 'it is when as people who satisfied' is syntactically incoherent. The range of structures is very limited, and the errors are so pervasive that they consistently cause difficulty for the reader. There is a lack of control over basic sentence construction, which prevents the clear communication of the data.
