IELTS Writing Criteria Scores
Detailed feedback by IELTS writing criterion after the annotated essay.
Task Achievement
The response covers all four methods and cities, with several accurate figures and a clear sense that landfill and incineration dominate. However, the overview could be sharper and some values are imprecise or awkwardly compared.
State the main contrast clearly: Toronto relies heavily on landfill, Kuala Lumpur mostly uses incineration, while composting is the least used method everywhere.
Coherence and Cohesion
The report follows the chart categories in a logical order, but it is one long paragraph and linking words such as 'Again' are basic. Some comparisons would be easier to follow if grouped by city or method.
Use an introduction, overview, landfill/incineration paragraph, and recycling/composting paragraph.
Lexical Resource
Vocabulary is understandable but weakened by repeated 'dispose of', incorrect forms such as 'Landfilling', 'usages', 'wastages', and the misspelling 'Compositing'.
Use 'landfill', 'incineration', 'recycling', 'composting', 'accounts for', and 'is used for'.
Grammatical Range and Accuracy
Frequent article, plural, and word-form errors occur, but the information is mostly understandable. Several percentage phrases need cleaner structure.
Proofread every noun after a percentage and avoid pluralizing uncountable 'waste'.
