Student answer (Band 5.0)

In fact the development that happened to the rural areas, a lot of individuals around the world still suffaring form hunger.

In my opinion, I totally believe this problem the main reason of it is the countries governemnt behaviour. The economy of the city is run by the authoraties, and the all supplies and goods they are responsible of them, also society shoulde support the authoraties by any thing the can produce.

To begin with, the issue of the lack of food never ends, but their is many ways to solve the problem. To illustrate, governemnets have a ability to deal this issue by fixing the economic system of the city. For instance, starting to produce some products that the can import them worldwide, and the income of the country will increase. As a result the economic system will be better and the administration will be able to affored feeding the individuals and start to fight hunger around the world.

Furthermore, humans who live in a rich countries, or even those who have a balance economic system they have a role to do to privent this issue. The awarness about the side effects that can happen to poor societis becuase of the lack of food, and not normalizing it. For example, using social media to poplish and write about the disaese that poor people face eveyday, and trying to make a funding groups and giving this money to the government so they can donate for people in need. Therefore the lack of food will be gone if every person did there role, and start to take responsibility.

In conclusion, I belive is it the human basic right to life a healthy life without the fear of not knowing if they will be able to eat the next meal, and as a society as will as the puplic authoraties we can stand together and solve this issue.

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 5.0

You address both questions by identifying government economic management as a cause and proposing increased production, public awareness, and donations as responses. Your position—that authorities and society should act together—is visible, especially in the conclusion. However, the explanation of why hunger persists is limited: the response mainly blames government behaviour without explaining factors such as unequal food distribution, poverty, conflict, or barriers to accessing food. Some proposed solutions are also under-developed; for example, exporting products is mentioned, but the link between export income and reliable food access is not fully explained. Develop a few relevant causes and show more clearly how each practical measure would reduce hunger.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 5.0

The response has a recognisable structure, with an introduction, two body paragraphs signalled by “To begin with” and “Furthermore,” and a conclusion. These paragraph divisions help readers identify the main sections. However, progression within the argument is not always clear: the opening focuses on rural development, while the body shifts to government control and then to social-media awareness without fully connecting these points. Linking expressions such as “As a result” and “Therefore” are used, but some relationships between ideas remain unclear or repetitive. For example, the first body paragraph moves from producing export goods to feeding citizens without explaining the steps between them. Organise each paragraph around one clear point and use references and transitions that make the reasoning explicit.

Lexical Resource: Band 5.0

You use some relevant topic vocabulary, including “economic system,” “lack of food,” “funding groups,” and “people in need,” so the subject is generally understandable. However, the range is limited and several word choices or collocations are inaccurate, sometimes making meaning difficult to follow. For instance, “a balance economic system” is unclear, and “donate for people” is not a natural expression. There are also frequent spelling errors, including “suffaring,” “governemnets,” and “awarness,” which reduce clarity and control. Build a more precise vocabulary for causes and remedies—such as food distribution, poverty, agricultural investment, and emergency aid—and check spelling and common word combinations carefully.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.0

You attempt both simple and longer sentence forms, including a conditional idea in “if every person did there role,” and you use clauses to explain examples and results. However, complex sentences are often faulty, and frequent errors in sentence structure, agreement, articles, and verb forms can make the argument difficult to follow. For example, “the main reason of it is the countries governemnt behaviour” lacks a clear grammatical structure, while “there is many ways” has incorrect subject–verb agreement. In “the all supplies and goods they are responsible of them,” the sentence structure and pronoun reference are also unclear. Practise building accurate sentences around one main clause, then add subordinate clauses, checking agreement, articles, and punctuation.
