Student answer (Band 5.0)

Dispite the advancment technology has made in agriculture sector, a number of people in the world still sleep hungry . This case can have diffrient factors implementing .

Firstly it can be a country that has not made enough advancment in technology and specially in agriculture side . For instance new high end machines used for agriculture sectors . Also agricluture is highly rizked by unpredictable weather as it can harm the crops which result in loss for the farmers . There full saeson gets wasted .Moreover there whole year income is baised on these crops .

Additinoaly lack of education is alson a very important factor . For example if there is a product that is newlly introduced by a internatinoal company and that specific product has many advantages where'as it can also harm human life . Untill that company doesnot educate the people about the pro's and con's of the product it will be a risk to human life .

Same goes with the advancments made in technology has no use until the people are educated in snse of how to use it for benefits .

Moreover lack of safe water can also be a factor .

According to my understandings the only thing that can be done to solve these problems is to educate people of whole world at same time . When ever a new technology come into world the whole world should be eduacted about that technology first and after that they should get there hands on that technology so they can use it safely for themselves and people around them .

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 5.0

You identify several relevant causes, including limited agricultural technology, unpredictable weather, and lack of safe water, and you attempt to suggest education as a solution. However, the response only partially answers the task because the causes and proposed action are not explained sufficiently. For example, you mention that weather can damage crops and reduce farmers’ income, but do not connect this clearly to how people go hungry or explain how the problem could be addressed. The discussion of an unfamiliar product and its possible harm to human life is also not clearly linked to food insecurity. Your solution focuses almost entirely on educating people about technology; include practical measures such as improving food distribution, supporting farmers, or providing emergency aid, and explain how they would help.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 5.0

The response has a basic paragraph structure, and signposts such as “Firstly,” “Additionally,” and “Moreover” show an attempt to organise the causes. However, the overall progression is not always clear: the paragraph about a new product and its risks shifts away from hunger, while the final paragraph presents education as the only solution without connecting it to each cause discussed. Some linking is repetitive or awkward, and references such as “this case” and “that technology” are not always precise. To improve, group related causes together, make each paragraph’s main point explicit, and use clear links to show how each cause leads to hunger and how a proposed measure would respond to it.

Lexical Resource: Band 5.0

You use some topic-related vocabulary, including “agriculture,” “unpredictable weather,” “crops,” and “safe water,” which helps communicate the general subject. However, the range is limited and several word choices or collocations make ideas difficult to follow, such as “This case can have diffrient factors implementing” and “agriculture side.” Spelling errors are also frequent, including “advancment,” “agricluture,” and “eduacted,” and these sometimes slow the reader. Aim for accurate, natural phrases such as “several factors contribute to this problem” and “agricultural sector.” Build a more precise set of expressions for food insecurity, crop failure, food distribution, and support for farmers, and check spelling carefully.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.0

You attempt both simple and longer sentences, for example, “Also agricluture is highly rizked by unpredictable weather as it can harm the crops,” but complex structures are often faulty and the range remains limited. Errors in sentence construction and verb forms appear throughout: “This case can have diffrient factors implementing” does not form a clear grammatical sentence, and “When ever a new technology come into world” has problems with the verb and article use. There are also issues with sentence boundaries and punctuation, including spaces before full stops and the run-on transition “Moreover there whole year income.” Practise building accurate sentences with a clear subject and verb, then combine ideas using clauses such as “because” and “which.”
