OUTLINE:

Introduction,

Body paragraph one(issue),

Body paragraph two(solution),

Conclusion,

Agriculture is the backbone of our country. Many people work in field to produce different crops such as, wheat, rise, suger cane etc. These things play important role in our country development.It is biggest passion in the world.

On the one hand, these days many advance machineries are invented for agriculture such, as heavy tractors, harvesters, crops planters etc. Agriculture become easy due to these advance machinery. People complet there work in few minutes. These things are possible only with the advance technology. Many heavy machines are invented for the agricultural purpose.

On the other hand, many people feel hunger in the world. For instance, many people waste the meal without eat it that is the first reason for people who are die with hunger. Many other point give reason for this. The main point is the fast increased in population. According to this the production of wheat and rise is low so, thats why people feel humger. The other reason, many people leave this field and join other field such, as Engineering, Doctorates and Software developers.

According to my point of view, to solve this problem join this field and grow crops on large scale. The other thing that i can do is not waste the meal. Many companies are organize to talk about the people about the crops. Society become happy and all issues of hunger is gone only when all members of society become the part of agriculture.

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 5.0

You identify several relevant causes of hunger, including food waste, population growth and people leaving agricultural work, and you offer possible responses such as growing more crops and avoiding waste. However, the task is only partially addressed: the causes are listed rather than explained, and the solutions are not developed enough to show how they would reduce hunger. The opening focuses heavily on agriculture’s importance and machinery, rather than establishing a clear answer to both questions. The claim that population growth means wheat and rice production is low also needs explanation or support. To strengthen the response, state a clear position in the introduction and develop each main cause and solution with a specific explanation or example.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 4.5

The response has recognisable sections for an introduction, causes and solutions, and it uses signposts such as “On the one hand,” “On the other hand” and “According to my point of view.” These help readers identify broad topic changes. However, the progression is not consistently logical: the paragraph about machinery does not clearly connect to the causes of hunger, and the causes and solutions are not separated into a clear sequence. Some linking phrases are used mechanically, while “Many other point give reason for this” does not guide the reader to a specific idea. The outline at the beginning also interrupts the essay rather than contributing to its argument. Organise the response around one paragraph explaining causes and another explaining solutions, using clear links between each claim and its explanation.

Lexical Resource: Band 5.0

You use a basic range of topic vocabulary, including “agriculture,” “harvesters,” “population” and “production,” so the general subject is usually understandable. However, vocabulary is limited and several inaccurate word choices or spellings make parts difficult to interpret, such as “rise” for rice, “suger cane,” “humger” and “complet.” Some phrases are also unnatural, including “fast increased in population” and “join this field.” Repetition of “many people,” “things” and “field” limits precision. Build a more accurate set of expressions for causes and solutions, such as food distribution, food insecurity, agricultural employment and reducing food waste. Check spelling carefully and choose words that express the intended relationship between population, food supply and hunger.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.0

You attempt both simple sentences and longer structures, including “For instance, many people waste the meal without eat it…” and “Society become happy and all issues of hunger is gone only when…”. However, complex attempts are often faulty, and errors in verb forms, agreement, articles and sentence construction can make the meaning difficult to follow. For example, “Agriculture become easy” needs a correctly formed verb, while “all issues of hunger is gone” has an agreement problem and an unclear tense. Several sentences also run ideas together without reliable punctuation, as in the opening paragraph. Practise building accurate simple sentences first, then combine them with clauses using “because,” “which” or “if.” Review subject–verb agreement, verb forms and articles, and proofread each sentence for a complete, clear structure.
