Task Achievement / Task Response — Band 5.0
The response addresses the prompt by discussing both sides of the issue regarding keeping a home and workplace tidy. However, the ideas are somewhat limited and repetitive, with underdeveloped supporting points such as the mention of an "Over Cleaning Disorder" and the idea that work is worship. Furthermore, the length requirement has not been met, as the response contains 240 words, falling short of the 250-word minimum. This results in a necessary penalty for under-length writing. Consequently, the position is not fully articulated throughout, leading to a Band 5.0 rating for Task Achievement.
Coherence and Cohesion — Band 5.0
The essay displays some basic organization with introductory and concluding paragraphs, and attempts at cohesive devices such as "To commence with", "Furthermore", and "Secondly". However, the overall progression is heavily disrupted by poor sentence structures and unclear referencing, such as in the sentence "due to aforementioned paragraphs" in the conclusion. Paragraphing is attempted, but the internal cohesion within paragraphs often feels mechanical or faulty. Ideas do not always flow logically from one sentence to the next, placing this response firmly in Band 5.0 for Coherence and Cohesion.
Lexical Resource — Band 5.0
The vocabulary used is relatively basic and repetitive, featuring phrases like "neat & clean", "expensive decoration", and "good manner". There are noticeable lexical errors and awkward collocations throughout the text, such as "have to problem of Over Cleaning Disorder" and "want to be clean their house". While the vocabulary is minimally adequate to convey a general topic, the frequent inaccuracies in word choice and word formation limit the student to a Band 5.0 for Lexical Resource.
Grammatical Range and Accuracy — Band 5.0
The text contains a very limited range of grammatical structures, and attempts at complex sentences are frequently faulty. There are persistent grammatical errors throughout the response, including subject-verb agreement issues ("everyone wants to be clean their house"), tense inconsistencies, and incorrect prepositions ("at their actual place"). Many sentences are structurally confused, such as "when people arrange everything at good place, then their childrens adapt to good manner, when they can see you to do this." These frequent errors cause considerable difficulty for the reader, corresponding to a Band 4.5 or 5.0; a Band 5.0 is awarded as meaning is generally decipherable.
