Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 4.0

You state a clear opinion—“I totally support this”—and begin to give a relevant reason by referring to crime and teenagers’ safety. However, the response addresses the task only partially: it does not explain the issue in enough detail, provide a developed example, or consider how a curfew might affect teenagers and families. The final point is also unfinished (“if young…”), so the argument cannot be followed to a conclusion. The response is 103 words, below the required 250, which leaves the position and supporting ideas minimally developed. To improve, explain how a curfew could reduce risks, give a specific example, and add a conclusion that restates your view.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 5.0

There is a basic attempt to organise the response: an opening paragraph gives your position, and “To begin with” introduces a supporting reason. This provides some organisation, but there is not yet a clear progression from claim to explanation and example. The first paragraph’s sentence about the curfew is difficult to follow, and the second paragraph ends abruptly at “if young,” leaving the relationship between ideas incomplete. Use a simple structure with an introduction, separate body paragraphs, and a conclusion. Within each body paragraph, connect a clear main point to its explanation and example; use linking phrases only where they show a genuine relationship.

Lexical Resource: Band 5.0

You use some topic-related vocabulary, including “curfew,” “supervision,” “crime rate,” and “teenagers,” so the reader can identify the subject. However, the range is limited and several word choices or collocations make the meaning less natural, such as “support this nation” and “held in dark light.” There are also spelling errors, including “whish” and “kidnaping.” Aim for precise phrases that express your argument, such as “support this policy,” “occur at night,” and “protect young people from harm.” Building a wider set of vocabulary for public safety, parental responsibility, and personal freedom would help you explain both your position and its implications more clearly.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.0

You attempt both simple and more complex sentence forms, including a relative clause in “a curfew … in which…” and a reason introduced by “such as.” However, control is inconsistent, and errors sometimes make the intended meaning difficult to follow. For example, “children are not allow to go outside” needs the passive form “are not allowed,” while “in several part of country” has problems with number and articles. The opening sentence also lacks a clear grammatical connection between the problem and the government’s action. Practise accurate subject–verb patterns, articles, plurals, and passive constructions, then check that each sentence is complete. Shorter, well-controlled sentences would make your ideas easier to understand.
