Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 5.0

You give a recognisable opinion in favour of curfews, especially when you say teenagers should stay home and go out only for urgent reasons or with a parent. You also refer to safety and following the law, so the response is relevant to the question. However, the position is not consistently explained: the opening claim about teenagers being allowed out is unclear, and the discussion shifts between supporting restrictions and saying people are free to go out with parental permission. Reasons such as online access to education, shopping and treatment are mentioned but not clearly connected to whether curfews are justified. Develop one clear position and support it with a specific example, such as how a curfew might reduce risks late at night.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 5.0

There is some organisation: the response moves from an initial opinion to reasons and then a concluding paragraph beginning “to sum up.” Linking expressions such as “This is because” and “But” show attempts to connect ideas. However, the overall progression is difficult to follow because several points are repeated, and relationships between them are not always clear. For example, the discussion of online services interrupts the point about teenagers’ safety, while the final paragraph introduces parental permission without resolving the earlier argument. Some sentences also run together, making it hard to see where one idea ends. Use separate paragraphs for your position, supporting reasons and conclusion, and make each paragraph develop one main point with clear references.

Lexical Resource: Band 4.5

You attempt vocabulary relevant to the topic, including “curfew,” “law and regulation,” “urgent work,” “permission” and “safety protection.” These choices show that you can communicate the general subject. However, the range is limited and many spelling, word-form and collocation errors make parts difficult to understand, such as “unmeture person,” “personal obsation,” “in trama” and “protaction.” Phrases such as “blessed” and “complete their task in on particular time” do not express the intended meaning naturally. Build a reliable set of topic vocabulary and check spelling and common word combinations. Prefer precise expressions such as “teenagers,” “stay indoors,” “emergency” and “comply with the law” rather than attempting unclear or inaccurate forms.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 4.5

You attempt to connect clauses using forms such as “This is because…” and “unless…,” but sentence structures are mostly simple, and attempts at longer sentences are often faulty. Errors in agreement and verb forms appear in “teenager are allowed” and “Every things has have be order”; articles and prepositions are also frequently missing or incorrectly used. The sentence “So with out their allow you are responsible any result and cituation” is difficult to interpret because its grammatical relationships are unclear. Punctuation and spacing around sentence boundaries also need attention. Practise building accurate simple sentences first, then combine them with one clear subordinate clause. For example: “Teenagers should stay indoors after the curfew unless an adult accompanies them.”
