Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 5.0

You address both social and practical difficulties, mentioning problems engaging with the community, seeking help from institutions, and managing work or survival. You also give a position, but “I really agree and disagree” is unclear, and the response later shifts towards the benefits of learning another language rather than consistently judging whether living with a foreign-language requirement causes serious problems. The ideas are relevant, but they remain general: for example, you do not explain a specific situation in which communication creates a serious social or practical consequence. Make your degree of agreement explicit and sustain it throughout, then develop each main point with a clear explanation and a relevant example.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 5.0

The response has an introduction, a main paragraph about difficulties, a contrasting paragraph, and a conclusion, so there is some visible organisation. However, the overall progression is difficult to follow because the position changes from partial agreement to “I strongly agree” with learning languages, which is not the same as agreeing with the task statement. Linking expressions such as “furthermore,” “moreover,” and “apart from that” are used repeatedly, sometimes joining several different ideas in one long sentence. The conclusion also introduces benefits without clearly resolving the argument. Give each paragraph one central purpose, use clearer topic sentences, and connect ideas through explanation and reference rather than relying mainly on linking phrases.

Lexical Resource: Band 5.0

You use some vocabulary relevant to the topic, including “language barrier,” “community,” “occupation,” “culture,” and “tradition.” This gives you a basic range for discussing the issue. However, spelling errors and imprecise or unnatural combinations are noticeable and sometimes make the meaning harder to understand, as in “softly engage,” “negative impact on our practical problem,” and “different eole believe.” Several key terms are also repeated, particularly “language,” “problem,” and “different.” Aim to learn accurate collocations and check spelling carefully; for instance, describe difficulty “communicating with local residents” or “accessing public services.” More precise vocabulary would help you express the relevant ideas without changing their meaning.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 4.5

You attempt longer sentences and use some subordinate clauses, such as “if we have to take some assist from any institution this will be difficult,” but these structures are often faulty or difficult to follow. Errors include missing or incorrect articles and verb forms (“learn language is necessary”), subject–verb agreement (“this also cause”), and sentence boundaries where several clauses run together. There are also problems with plural forms and tense consistency, as in “in country where we lived.” These frequent errors can make the reader work to identify the intended meaning. Practise building accurate simple sentences first, then combine them using one clear subordinate clause at a time. Check articles, agreement, and punctuation when editing.
