Task Achievement / Task Response — Band 4.0

The response attempts to address the prompt regarding the benefits and disadvantages of visiting difficult tourist places like the Sahara or Antarctic, but the ideas are largely undeveloped and unclear due to severe language barriers. The writer mentions some points about social media, equipment, and bad conditions, but the overall position and arguments are difficult to follow. The connection between the ideas and the specific advantages or disadvantages is often obscured by broken syntax and tangential thoughts. Consequently, the task is only addressed in a limited and confusing way, aligning with the Band 4 descriptors.

Coherence and Cohesion — Band 4.0

Information and ideas are not arranged coherently throughout the response. Although paragraph breaks are used, the internal progression within paragraphs is illogical and disjointed. Sentences like 'Today, In Many countries like changs for the tourists places...' lack basic logical links and fail to build a cohesive argument. Reference words and cohesive devices are either missing, misused, or inaccurate, making it extremely hard for the reader to follow the flow of thought from one sentence to the next. The overall structure reflects Band 4 characteristics.

Lexical Resource — Band 4.0

The vocabulary used is very basic, repetitive, and often misused, which severely impedes communication. The writer frequently invents or distorts words, such as 'gettogethering', 'unvevering', 'revercrafting', and 'bleming'. Collocations are unnatural and word choice errors are pervasive throughout the essay, for instance, 'bad habitual use' or 'dump and dirty conditions'. There is no evidence of a sufficient range of vocabulary for the task, meaning the response falls squarely into the Band 4 category for lexical resource.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy — Band 4.0

Grammatical control is extremely weak, with a very limited range of sentence structures. Almost every sentence contains major grammatical errors, including severe issues with verb tenses, subject-verb agreement, word order, and sentence fragments (e.g., 'If ,without tourists you do not campaining and correct location.'). Punctuation is also heavily misused with random capitalisation and comma splices. Because errors are frequent, pervasive, and often distort the intended meaning, the grammar warrants a Band 4 score.
