Task Achievement / Task Response — Band 5.0

The response addresses both parts of the prompt, identifying reasons for inactivity (workload, lack of time) and solutions (time management, exercise, meditation). However, the development of these ideas is significantly hampered by unclear expression and fragmented sentences. While the writer attempts to provide examples, such as mentioning 'a article' or 'doctors', the lack of clarity makes it difficult to follow the logic. The position is generally clear, but the lack of coherent explanation means the ideas are not fully developed or supported in a way that meets the requirements for a higher band. The response is essentially a series of loosely connected points rather than a cohesive argument.

Coherence and Cohesion — Band 5.0

The essay is organised into paragraphs, but the flow of ideas is frequently interrupted by grammatical errors and awkward phrasing. Cohesive devices are used, such as 'On the one hand' and 'In conclusion', but they are often applied incorrectly or in a way that does not logically connect the preceding and following sentences. For instance, the transition 'Although,There are increase many stress' is confusing. The referencing is often unclear, making it difficult to determine the subject of the sentences. Overall, the progression of ideas is disjointed, and the lack of control over cohesive devices makes the text difficult to read.

Lexical Resource — Band 5.0

The vocabulary is limited and often used incorrectly, which frequently impedes communication. There are numerous instances of word-choice errors, such as 'In the phenomenal' (likely meant 'In the present day'), 'faced hasal and basal life' (meaning unclear), and 'take strike follow time table'. The writer attempts to use more complex vocabulary like 'multifarious' and 'detrimental', but these are used in contexts that do not make sense. The repetition of basic words and the inability to use collocations correctly significantly limit the range of expression.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy — Band 4.5

The grammatical control is weak throughout the response. There are frequent errors in sentence structure, subject-verb agreement, and word order. Many sentences are fragmented or lack a clear subject and verb, such as 'In the phenomenal,every people are heavy work load'. Punctuation is also problematic, with missing spaces after commas and incorrect capitalization. While the writer attempts to use complex structures, these are almost always faulty, leading to a lack of clarity. Simple sentences are also prone to errors, which means the reader must constantly re-read to understand the intended meaning.
