Student answer (Band 6.0)
The major problem in current world is food crisis.Lot of advances made in agriculture even though many people all around the world still go hungry.Behind this trend there are numerous reasons we will discuss the trend and solution in further paragraphs.
To commence with, with the help of technology many research and development has been done in agricultural sector such as developing hybrid crops which leads to increase the production and control the deceased of crops.For instance, India is become third largest producer of agricultural not due to increase in land of agricultural it happened due to research in hybrid crops.The major impact is Created by increasing population which leads to food starvation, more population required more food.
On another hand, some of the developed nations people are wasting more food while eating,some people are not able to get their food even for one time a day whereas wealthy people are wasting food on their plate.For example, CPE- china people economist leading newspaper of china, published one article which include the habit the of Chinese people who waste food at least 800 grams per day which is more enough for feeding the poor people for at least one day.Moreover the most effected nations for food starvation are African nations which are poor and cannot allocate more money on research on food production.
In my opinion, as a good citizen it is our responsibility to manage food waste if we decrease the waste of food for today the next generation will not suffered for food starvation.With the help of NGO and government authorities we can aware people for saving food and can provide the needy people.

Task Achievement / Task Response — Band 6.0
The response addresses both parts of the prompt: reasons for hunger and potential solutions. However, the development of ideas is somewhat superficial. For example, the explanation regarding population growth is brief and lacks depth. The solutions provided in the final paragraph are also quite general, focusing on individual responsibility and NGOs without exploring systemic or policy-level changes. While the position is clear, the supporting arguments would benefit from more detailed elaboration and specific evidence to reach a higher band. The structure is logical, but the content remains at a basic level of analysis.
Coherence and Cohesion — Band 6.0
The essay is organized into clear paragraphs, each with a central theme. Cohesive devices are used, such as 'To commence with', 'On another hand', and 'Moreover', though some are used mechanically or incorrectly (e.g., 'On another hand' should be 'On the other hand'). Referencing is sometimes unclear, such as the mention of 'CPE- china people economist', which disrupts the flow. Paragraphing is present, but the transition between the problem of food waste and the solution is somewhat abrupt. Overall, the progression of ideas is logical, but the management of cohesive devices needs more precision.
Lexical Resource — Band 5.5
The vocabulary is adequate for the task but lacks the range and precision required for higher bands. There are several instances of awkward phrasing and word choice errors, such as 'control the deceased of crops' (likely meaning 'diseases') and 'next generation will not suffered'. The use of 'CPE- china people economist' is confusing and lacks academic register. While the student attempts to use topic-specific vocabulary like 'hybrid crops' and 'agricultural sector', the overall lexical control is limited, and some errors occasionally impede the reader's understanding of the intended meaning.
Grammatical Range and Accuracy — Band 5.5
The essay contains a mix of simple and complex sentence structures, but there are frequent grammatical errors throughout. Issues include subject-verb agreement ('many research and development has been done'), article usage ('the major problem in current world'), and tense consistency ('next generation will not suffered'). Punctuation is also inconsistent, with missing spaces after periods in several places. While the meaning is generally clear, the high frequency of errors in basic grammar and sentence construction prevents the essay from reaching a higher band. More attention to proofreading and sentence structure is required.
