Student answer (Band 5.0)
Many people give the opinion that it is very urgent to put our things at right place as a result it will make our home and work station organised and clean. I will completely agree with this point. I will discuss my point of view in upcoming paragraph.
The very first point to keep our area clean is that it will increase your efficency. To explain this, for example you are working in a store, someone is asking for something then its your responsibility to keep the item at same place because otherwise it will be mess.Again if someone is asking for item you are unable to find it. As a result it is wastage of time and customer service.
Same in case of home, no one likes untidy house.If you are keeping our stuff at right place, then it is easy to get that item. For instances,

Task Achievement / Task Response — Band 4.0
The response fails to meet the minimum word count requirement of 250 words, reaching only 148 words. This significantly impacts the development of ideas. While you state your position clearly in the introduction, the arguments provided are underdeveloped. The example regarding the store is relevant but lacks depth, and the second point about the home is left incomplete, ending abruptly. To achieve a higher band, you must fully expand on your points with detailed explanations and examples, ensuring the essay is of sufficient length to cover the topic comprehensively.
Coherence and Cohesion — Band 5.0
The essay is divided into paragraphs, which is a positive start. However, the progression of ideas is hindered by the incomplete nature of the final paragraph. Cohesive devices are used, such as 'To explain this' and 'As a result', but they are somewhat repetitive and mechanical. The transition between the introduction and the body paragraphs is functional, but the overall structure feels fragmented due to the lack of a conclusion and the abrupt ending. Improving the logical flow between sentences and ensuring each paragraph has a clear, finished thought will improve this score.
Lexical Resource — Band 5.0
The vocabulary is generally adequate for basic communication but lacks the range and precision required for higher bands. You use simple phrases like 'very urgent' and 'put our things at right place', which are somewhat unnatural. There are also minor errors in word choice, such as 'it is wastage of time and customer service', which should be 'it results in a waste of time and poor customer service'. To improve, try to incorporate more precise collocations and a wider variety of topic-specific vocabulary related to organization and productivity.
Grammatical Range and Accuracy — Band 5.0
The response contains a mix of simple and some attempted complex structures. There are frequent grammatical errors, such as 'it is very urgent to put our things at right place' (missing articles) and 'for example you are working' (punctuation and structure issues). Subject-verb agreement and preposition usage also need attention, for instance, 'at same place' should be 'in the same place'. While the meaning is generally clear, the frequency of these errors limits the score. Focusing on sentence variety and proofreading for basic articles and prepositions will help improve your accuracy.
