Overall assessment

Why this response received Band 5.5

The response proposes several relevant solutions, including stronger laws, public education, enforcement, alternative fuels, and substitute materials, and it shows clear concern for environmental consequences. However, development is uneven and frequent grammar and word-choice errors sometimes strain meaning; the priority is to organise two or three main solutions into separate paragraphs and explain clearly how each would reduce deforestation.
