now agricuture is more developed in this modern era but some people are living in the world they are still go hungry
to commence with, there is some people are now living hungry after the development of the agriculture this is cause of the seasonal effect or during the bad bacteria in the cultivations, for example, in season of the growing rice farmer are praying to gpod for the rain but in during the season rain will not be come the farmers atre watering the cultivation of rice with the help of tubels and tap water after that when rice cultivation will perfectly ready to cutting and at the time of selling rain will coming always i saw in every season from many years. thus,so thats why some people are still hungry.
secondly, there is a many technologies are available in this modern world. people should have to support to the farmers i the difficult situations in addition its a duty of the local governments to support the poor farmers to grow the cultivations if government helps to farmer to gives subsidy on the farming or give loans to grow more more cultivations live various types of varity of the vegetables they can earn more and eat the meal three times in every day then farmers can to sellling their vegetables they able to return the loan to the government
to conclude, always we should have take the responsibility to helps to the poor farmers to donate some money in case we cannot, atleast we can provide them on low intrest rate

Task Achievement / Task Response — Band 5.0
The response addresses both parts of the prompt: reasons for global hunger and potential solutions. However, the development of ideas is limited. The explanation regarding agricultural challenges is anecdotal and lacks a broader perspective on systemic issues like distribution, poverty, or climate change. The solutions are also somewhat narrow, focusing primarily on government subsidies and individual donations. While the task is addressed, the ideas are not fully extended or supported with sufficient depth, leading to a somewhat superficial treatment of a complex global issue. The response meets the minimum length requirement, but the lack of analytical depth keeps it at a lower band level.
Coherence and Cohesion — Band 5.0
The essay is organised into paragraphs, which helps the reader follow the structure. However, the use of cohesive devices is often mechanical or inaccurate, such as the repetitive use of 'to commence with' and 'secondly'. There is a lack of logical progression between sentences; for example, the transition from discussing rice farming to the conclusion feels abrupt. Referencing is sometimes unclear, and the flow of ideas is frequently interrupted by grammatical errors, making the overall structure feel disjointed rather than fluid.
Lexical Resource — Band 5.0
The vocabulary is quite limited and repetitive, relying on basic terms such as 'cultivations', 'farmers', and 'support'. There are several instances of word-choice errors, such as 'bad bacteria in the cultivations' (likely referring to pests or disease) and 'perfectly ready to cutting'. The student struggles to use precise terminology related to agriculture or economics. While the meaning is generally conveyed, the range of vocabulary is insufficient to express complex ideas with any degree of sophistication or precision.
Grammatical Range and Accuracy — Band 4.5
The essay contains frequent grammatical errors that often impede readability. There are significant issues with subject-verb agreement (e.g., 'there is some people'), tense consistency (e.g., 'rain will not be come'), and sentence structure (e.g., 'when rice cultivation will perfectly ready to cutting and at the time of selling rain will coming'). The student relies heavily on simple sentence structures, and attempts at more complex sentences are consistently marred by errors. Punctuation is also inconsistent, with run-on sentences and missing commas throughout the text.
