Environmental problems such as pollution and climate change affect all the people in the world. Although global decisions are made to reduce these problems, the solutions are not effective. Why are the solutions ineffective? How can these problems be solved?
Sample Response
It is undeniable that environmental issues such as global warming and pollution have negative impacts on all countries and these negative consequences would affect the whole world. Even though some global solutions have been proposed to addressaddressed to solve these problems, many people believe that they were not effective and efficient. The following essay will discuss some of the reasons why the solutions were not successful and how these issues should be resolved.
For a number of reasons, solutions that have been implemented to resolveimplemented for resolving environmental issues were considered ineffectiveconsidered as ineffective. Firstly, solutions were only implemented by certain countries. For example, only a few countries in the world implement carbon monoxide teststest for vehicles such as Canada or Australia while it should have been done in all countries. Other countries such as India and China are allowing vehicles regardless of their conditionvehicles with all conditions to travel on their streets and roadscommute in their streets and roads. Secondly, some countries do not provide clear regulations and laws regarding environmental issuesclear regulations and laws regarding to environmental issues. For instance, in several countries, there is no fine or penalty when people throw garbagethrow the garbage into rivers or the seato the river or sea. As a consequence, oceans are still polluted with waste from these countries. Though many global policies have been adoptedtaken, many of them are not implemented in many countries. This is the main reason we still have rising global temperaturesincreasing world temperature and pollutionpollutions.
There are some solutions that the United Nations and governments could consider to resolve these environmental issues. One of the solutions is that it must be agreed and implemented by all countries. For example, air conditioners and refrigeratorsAir Conditioners and Refrigerators must not use CFCsCFC gas which is dangerous for the ozone layerlayers. These regulations must be implemented internationally, and for countries that still use CFC must be banned and given penalties. In additionAnd then, each country should have strict regulations regarding environmental issuesstrict regulations regarding to environmental issues and the United Nations should audit each of these countries inon a timely manner. By having a review from an independent party, each country is forced to implement friendly environmental practices in their area.
In conclusions, I believe that global environmental issues could be resolved, as long as all countries participate in implementing the solutions.
Why this response received Band 6.5
The response directly answers both questions, organizes its causes and solutions clearly, and supports them with relevant examples. Its main limitation is the frequent awkward or inaccurate language, especially collocations, articles, prepositions, and sentence structures, which sometimes weakens precision despite leaving the message clear. The highest priority is to express the existing ideas in more natural, grammatically controlled sentences and to refine a few overgeneralized examples.

Task Response
Both parts of the task are addressed with clear, relevant causes and workable international solutions that receive adequate explanation and examples.
Develop the practical operation of the proposed international enforcement measures more precisely and avoid overgeneralizing individual countries.
Coherence and Cohesion
The essay has a clear four-part structure and a logical progression from reasons to solutions, with generally effective paragraphing and referencing.
Use a less mechanical range of links and tighten repetitive sentences so that the argument moves more smoothly within paragraphs.
Lexical Resource
The vocabulary is sufficiently varied for the topic, but frequent unnatural collocations and word-form choices reduce precision.
Prioritize accurate combinations such as environmental regulations, impose penalties, and environmentally friendly practices over ambitious but awkward phrasing.
Grammatical Range and Accuracy
A mix of simple and complex structures communicates the argument clearly, although recurring article, preposition, agreement, and passive-construction errors remain noticeable.
Proofread complex sentences for their grammatical subject and verb relationship, then correct articles, plurals, and fixed prepositions systematically.
