Task Achievement / Task Response — Band 4.0
The response is severely under-length, containing only 95 words against the required minimum of 150 words. Because of this, the task is only partially addressed and the summary remains incomplete and underdeveloped. Although the student attempts to provide an overview and report some features from the chart, the writing cuts off mid-sentence and fails to cover the full span of data presented in the visual prompt.
Coherence and Cohesion — Band 4.0
The response suffers from major organizational issues and a lack of proper paragraphing and sentence completion. Cohesive devices are used awkwardly or incorrectly, such as 'Fetching in to details' and 'considering furthermore information'. The text trails off abruptly at the end, disrupting any logical flow or progression.
Lexical Resource — Band 4.5
Vocabulary is limited and heavily marred by persistent spelling mistakes, such as 'accomdation', 'diffrent', and 'accomadation'. The student attempts some less common vocabulary like 'proportion' and 'initiate increasing', but word choice is often unnatural and inappropriate for an academic task, meaning communication is frequently impeded.
Grammatical Range and Accuracy — Band 4.0
The grammatical range is extremely limited, consisting mostly of poorly constructed, run-on sentences with missing punctuation and capitalization (e.g., 'england and wales', 'after middle year'). There are frequent errors in verb forms and tense usage, and the text ends with an unfinished sentence fragment.
