Task Achievement / Task Response — Band 6.0
Respons ini mencakup semua bagian tugas dengan melaporkan fitur utama grafik dan membuat perbandingan yang tepat di kelima kota di Australia. Gambaran umum diberikan di paragraf kedua, yang menangkap kategori dominan (kunjungan kafe) dan kategori yang paling tidak populer (kopi segar). Poin data utama, seperti Melbourne yang memimpin dalam kunjungan kafe (64%) dan Hobart yang memiliki persentase tertinggi untuk kopi instan (55%), dilaporkan secara akurat. Namun, terdapat beberapa ketidakakuratan kecil atau pembacaan data yang kurang tepat, seperti menyatakan Brisbane dan Adelaide berada di 'around 55% and 45%' untuk kunjungan kafe (aktual: 55.5% dan 49.5%) serta masalah ejaan/nama diri yang kecil seperti 'sidney'. Meskipun demikian, tren utama dan perbandingan data berhasil disampaikan, memenuhi persyaratan untuk Band 6.0.
Coherence and Cohesion — Band 6.0
Respons ini diorganisasikan ke dalam paragraf-paragraf yang logis, dengan pendahuluan, gambaran umum, dan paragraf isi terpisah yang dikhususkan untuk kunjungan kafe, kopi segar, dan kopi instan. Peranti kohesif dan penanda transisi digunakan untuk memandu pembaca, seperti 'Overall', 'In terms of', 'In contrast', dan 'On the other hand'. Namun, pengacuan dan kohesi paragraf terkadang terasa mekanis atau kurang tepat, seperti transisi yang canggung di paragraf terakhir ('The trend for bought instant coffee, Hobart was the most popular... It was following by Adelaide...'). Pembagian paragraf sudah ada dan sesuai, tetapi alur logis antar kalimat di dalam paragraf terkadang kurang lancar, sehingga menempatkan tulisan ini dengan mantap pada Band 6.0.
Lexical Resource — Band 5.5
Siswa menggunakan rentang kosakata yang memadai untuk tugas ini, dengan berhasil memasukkan istilah-istilah yang berkaitan dengan data survei seperti 'proportion', 'percentage', 'trend', dan 'consumers'. Namun, terdapat kesalahan bentuk kata dan ejaan yang mencolok di seluruh teks, seperti 'purchasing' daripada 'purchase', 'populer' daripada 'popular', 'largets' daripada 'largest', 'costumers' daripada 'customers', dan 'country' daripada 'cities'. Item leksikal yang kurang umum dicoba tetapi sering kali salah digunakan ('biggest spender', 'humans who went'). Kesalahan leksikal yang sering terjadi dan ketidakakuratan kecil ini membatasi skor pada Band 5.5.
Grammatical Range and Accuracy — Band 5.0
Penulis mencoba menggunakan kombinasi bentuk kalimat sederhana dan kompleks, dengan memanfaatkan klausa relatif dan frasa preposisional pengantar ('In terms of participants who went...'). Namun, teks tersebut mengandung seringnya kesalahan tata bahasa dan frasa yang canggung, seperti 'residents who went to a cafe... was the highest' (subject-verb agreement), 'Brisbane and Adelaide were significantly different from the other country', dan 'Sydney was the least of residents who interested to bought'. Tanda baca dan penggunaan verb tense juga menunjukkan kekurangan yang persisten. Meskipun makna secara umum jelas terlepas dari kesalahan-kesalahan ini, kepadatan kesalahan tata bahasa menghalangi band yang lebih tinggi, sehingga 5.0 adalah nilai yang tepat.
