Task Achievement / Task Response — Band 5.0
The response addresses both sides of the argument and provides a personal opinion. However, the development of ideas is limited and often unclear due to significant language errors. For example, the argument regarding 'carbendaioxied' (carbon dioxide) and its relationship to health is scientifically inaccurate and poorly explained. The essay attempts to discuss the two views, but the reasoning is repetitive and lacks depth. The conclusion is abrupt and does not effectively summarize the main points or reinforce the position clearly. To improve, you should focus on developing each point with logical, coherent explanations rather than listing general ideas.
Coherence and Cohesion — Band 5.0
The essay is organized into paragraphs, which is a positive step. However, the progression of ideas is often disjointed. While some cohesive devices are used, such as 'For instance' and 'In addition', they are often used incorrectly or in contexts that do not logically connect the sentences. Referencing is frequently unclear, making it difficult for the reader to follow the argument. The transition between the two views is mechanical, and the final paragraph is repetitive rather than providing a synthesis of the discussion. Improved use of linking words and clearer topic sentences would enhance the flow.
Lexical Resource — Band 5.0
The vocabulary is quite limited and often inaccurate, which frequently impedes communication. There are numerous spelling errors, such as 'contracture' (construction), 'fassion' (fashion), 'deaseses' (diseases), and 'pland' (plants). Many words are used in the wrong context, such as 'human pray animals' instead of 'humans prey on animals'. The range of vocabulary is insufficient to express complex ideas effectively. To achieve a higher band score, you need to focus on learning correct collocations and improving your spelling of common academic terms.
Grammatical Range and Accuracy — Band 4.5
The essay contains frequent grammatical errors that often make the meaning difficult to grasp. There are consistent issues with subject-verb agreement (e.g., 'plants and animals is main source'), article usage, and sentence structure. Many sentences are fragmented or run-on, such as 'For illustrate, People are cutting trees for contraction development like to make a house and today, numerous animals skin are use to made clothes'. The range of structures is limited to simple sentences, and attempts at more complex structures are almost always inaccurate. A focus on basic sentence construction and proofreading for subject-verb agreement is essential.
