Task Achievement / Task Response — Band 5.5

The response fails to meet the minimum word count requirement of 250 words, which significantly impacts the development of ideas. While the prompt asks for an opinion on whether research should be funded by private companies, individuals, or the government, the response is fragmented and lacks a clear, cohesive argument. The ideas presented—such as the role of 'high intelligent youth'—are underdeveloped and difficult to follow. Because the response is substantially under-length and the arguments are not fully explored or supported with clear logic, it does not address the task requirements adequately.

Coherence and Cohesion — Band 5.5

The essay lacks a logical structure. There is no clear introduction, body, or conclusion. The use of cohesive devices is almost entirely absent, and the transition between ideas is disjointed. The text is presented in a fragmented manner, making it difficult for the reader to follow the writer's train of thought. Paragraphing is not used effectively to separate distinct points, and the overall progression of the argument is unclear. The lack of logical sequencing and the absence of linking words significantly hinder the coherence of the response.

Lexical Resource — Band 5.5

The vocabulary is very limited and often inaccurate, which frequently impedes communication. There is a reliance on basic, repetitive, and sometimes misused terminology, such as 'medical Labouritie' (likely meaning laboratories) and 'intelligented'. The student struggles to use appropriate collocations, and the word choice is often confusing, making it difficult to grasp the intended meaning. There is no evidence of a range of vocabulary that would allow for precise expression of ideas, and the errors in word formation are frequent throughout the text.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy — Band 5.5

The grammatical control is very weak, with frequent errors in sentence structure, subject-verb agreement, and word order. Almost every sentence contains significant errors, such as 'Currently more medical research procedure are released payment' and 'The state to released the fund'. These errors are pervasive and often make the meaning obscure. There is no evidence of complex sentence structures, and the basic sentence patterns are consistently flawed. The high frequency of grammatical errors makes the text very difficult to read and understand.
