Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 5.0

You address both questions by identifying poverty, unemployment, unequal access to food and flood damage as causes, then proposing government food supplies and jobs. These are relevant starting points, but the response only partially develops the task: several causes are listed without explaining how they lead to hunger, and the solutions are brief or unclear. For example, “government should supply food in every countries” is a broad proposal, while the final solution sentence is incomplete and does not explain how jobs would be created. Your position that governments and people should work together appears in the conclusion, but it is not developed into a clear, sustained argument. Explain fewer points in more detail and connect each solution directly to a cause.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 5.0

The response has a recognisable overall structure: an introduction, a paragraph on causes, a paragraph on solutions and a conclusion. Sequencing words such as “Firstly,” “Secondly” and “In conclusion” help signal these sections. However, progression within paragraphs is difficult to follow because many separate ideas are joined together without clear links, and some connections are repetitive or unclear. The causes paragraph moves from poverty and jobs to floods, food supply and employers’ attitudes without showing how these points relate. The solutions paragraph also ends with an unfinished thought. Use one main idea per paragraph, organise supporting details around it, and use clear references and linking phrases to show cause-and-effect relationships.

Lexical Resource: Band 5.0

You use some relevant topic vocabulary, including “agriculture,” “natural disaster,” “underprivileged,” “supply of food” and “stringent action.” This gives you a basic range for discussing hunger and possible responses. However, vocabulary is often repetitive, and noticeable spelling and word-choice errors sometimes make the intended meaning difficult to understand. Examples include “poverity,” “severals,” “jugd[e]” and “moot issue”; the last phrase does not clearly express the intended idea. Some combinations are also unnatural, such as “big loss to agriculture admit to flood.” Build accuracy by checking spelling and learning common collocations, for example “crop losses caused by flooding” and “food distribution.”

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 4.5

You attempt both simple and longer sentence forms, including explanations with “because” and clauses beginning with “when.” However, control is inconsistent, and frequent errors in sentence boundaries, agreement, articles and verb forms can make parts difficult to follow. For instance, “many people around the world still suffer from hunger” is clear, but “rich people and countires does not get thought” has problems with agreement and sentence construction. The final solution paragraph includes an incomplete sentence, “however, rich countries shoular is a serious issue around the world,” which obscures the meaning. Practise writing complete sentences with a clear subject and verb, then check agreement, capitalisation and punctuation. Aim for accurate simple sentences before adding complex clauses.
