【答案解析】SAMPLE ANSWER
This is an answer written by a candidate who achieved a Band 5 score. Here is the examiner"s comment:
Both parts of the prompt are addressed, although the main ideas and the writer"s position could be better developed. No clear conclusions are drawn so there is a lack of overall progression. Organisation is evident but not always logical, and the sentences are not fluently linked to each other, while each paragraph lacks a clear topic. The vocabulary is limited but minimally adequate, with not much variation in expression, and the frequent spelling errors are noticeable and cause some difficulty for the reader. The range of sentence types is limited and rather repetitive. Complex sentences are attempted but tend to be faulty, and there are a number of basic errors. Punctuation is poorly controlled, with underuse of capital letters and fullstops.
