Why is this the case?

What can be done about this problem?

Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

Student answer (Band 6.0)

Despite of having advances in agriculture, a huge number of individuals still go hungry. Many advancements are yet to reach in distant rural areas and farmers are unaware of utilize these tools. I believe by training them and advertisements of such invented tools and techniques can resolve the issue to a great extent.

One of the major reason is high tech inventions like tractors, fertilizers, pesticides and many more are yet to be reached to remote rural regions where agriculture is the prime mean of economy. Moreover, farmers are not aware of these techniques and how to use them in order to grow more cultivations. Consequently, they are still harvesting in traditional way and can not make enough money in any unwanted situations or natural disaster resulting in go hungry. For example, field cultivation using domestic animals is time consuming and labour intensive. Therefore, it will take a long time to plow a small scale area. Without using fertilizers effectlvely, crops can not be preserved a long time until reaching market.

To address this issue governmental bodies and community must work cooperatively. Like, vocational training on using these tools can be setup to overcome the drawbacks. Media can play a vital role in educating people about the agricultural advancements by advertising on billboards or TV.

For instance, training centres can be set up in villages and distant towns to spread awareness and train the residents. The government need to fund these campaigns. Furthermore, it has become quite common in many countries to make short ads on such modern facilities.

In conclusion, due to the lack of awareness and training, a wide range of people across the globe still do not get enough food. Getting support from the political parties and media can overcome the setbacks.

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 6.0

You address both questions: you identify limited access to modern agricultural methods and farmers’ lack of training as causes, then propose vocational training, media campaigns and government funding. These ideas are relevant and your examples, such as animal-powered ploughing and village training centres, help explain them. However, the explanation of how hunger results from these barriers is not always clear, and some claims need fuller development—for example, how improved tools or fertilisers would help farmers cope with disasters or get crops to market. The proposed solutions are also somewhat general; explain who would deliver training and how farmers could access the equipment. A clearer, more developed link between causes and remedies would strengthen the response.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 6.5

The response has a clear overall structure: an introduction, a paragraph on causes, one on solutions, and a conclusion. The progression from limited access and knowledge to possible interventions is easy to follow, and examples are generally placed where they support the point. You also use linking expressions such as “Moreover,” “Consequently,” and “Furthermore.” This meets the lower-band expectation of coherent organisation and shows some flexibility, but cohesion is not consistently smooth. “Like” introduces an example informally, while “For instance” soon repeats the same training-centre idea. Some links between sentences are abrupt, and “these tools” or “these techniques” can refer to several different things. Use more precise referencing and avoid repeating examples to make the progression more fluent.

Lexical Resource: Band 5.5

You use a relevant range of topic vocabulary, including “fertilizers,” “pesticides,” “vocational training,” “agricultural advancements,” and “labour intensive.” These choices make the subject clear, and you attempt some less common expressions. However, several word-choice, collocation and word-form errors make the language sound unnatural, such as “prime mean of economy,” “grow more cultivations,” and “advertisements of such invented tools.” There are also spelling errors, including “effectlvely,” and some repetition of general terms such as “tools” and “techniques.” Choose established collocations and check spelling and word forms; for example, refer to “agricultural equipment,” “increase crop yields,” and “promote modern farming methods.”

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.5

You attempt both simple and complex sentence forms, including cause-and-effect structures such as “Consequently, they are still harvesting…” and a conditional phrase beginning “Without using fertilizers…”. The main ideas remain understandable, but some grammatical errors recur. Examples include “Despite of having” (the correct pattern is “Despite having”), “One of the major reason” (plural agreement is needed), and “The government need” (subject–verb agreement). There are also problems with infinitive and verb forms, as in “unaware of utilize” and “resulting in go hungry,” as well as missing or incorrect articles and prepositions. Review these patterns and proofread sentence by sentence; more consistently accurate complex sentences would improve control.
