This answer includes the main points of the information but these are inaccurately reported and hard to identify because so much detail is given. The figures are confused and sometimes inaccurate. The candidate has tried to organise the information logically, but linking is repetitive and not always clear. The range of vocabulary is enough to describe the information, and spelling is quite well controlled. The writer tries to use a wider range at times but makes errors in word choice and word formation. Similarly, the writer tries to use some complex sentences, but errors in grammar, especially in verb phrases, are common and make the writing difficult to understand in places. This is a good example of a Band 5 response.

This answer is obviously related to the topic, but there is no clear response to any part of the question and it is difficult to identify any relevant point of view. There is some attempt to use paragraphs and basic connectives, but there is little logical progression. Instead the ideas are very repetitive and circular both within and between paragraphs. The range of vocabulary is limited and so there is frequent repetition of basic vocabulary and words taken from the question. There are occasional examples of a wider range but there are also errors in word choice and spelling that confuse the reader. The candidate attempts to use a range of structures, but the lack of control of grammar and punctuation results in strain for the reader. Although the writing has some features of Band 4 performance, no part of the question is successfully addressed and this limits the rating to Band 3.5.

The diagram illustrates how to use water in order to generate electricity. The diagram shows that the process of producing electricity involves as natural resources, like water, as well as special human-built equipment. First of all, the sun energy evaporates some of the water from a sea. Evaporation forces clouds to form. While the rain goes the water is collected in a purpose built reservoir. Afterwards, from a dam the water goes through a valve. This movement force a turbine to rotate and this process generates electricity. Finally, the electricity is transferred by high voltage Cables to a transformer station. The stransformer station supplies city buildings such as schools and hospitals with electricity. Moreover, the diagram indicates that the water which is involved in the process is used repeatedly. From the tourbin it goes to a pump and than returnes to the reservoir. Overall, the illustration shows that there are 3 main steps in order to generate electricity: collecting the water, rotating the tourbin and accumulating electricity in the transformer station.

This answer includes a clear overview of the process and the information is well-selected with good coverage of the key points. Some of the points could however be further extended. The candidate has organised the information logically with a clear progression of information through the answer. Some good linkers are used although there are occasional mistakes in their use. The writer has made efforts to adapt the vocabulary in the task but there are spelling mistakes with some words. There are a number of complex grammatical structures which are used accurately and although there are some errors in word order and the use of articles, these do not reduce the clarity of the writing.

Many old buildings are protected by law because they are part of a nation's history. However, some people think old buildings should be knocked down to make way for new ones because people need houses and offices. How important is it to maintain old buildings? Should history stand in the way of progress? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience. Write at least 250 words.

Bài viết đầy đủ của thí sinh

Old buildings not only are still useful, but also keep the history alive. Not all of them have enough history to say that it's better to maintain it. In my opinion only the buildings that really involve nation's history could be maintain, because its will remain to the people the traditions, culture, and stories that relavant people lived before, and this is part of the formal education of each person. Most of the countries of the world at least have important people that help to constructed the nation, or fight for the independence, or are just important because They changed the social, political, economical or even musical environment of their countries. When people see the places where this people lived and where they develop their acts, these places or buildings help to reconstruct the stories and are useful for imagine how was the situation before. So every time that people will see This buildings or monuments they are able to remain the history and also learn about it. Finally nowadays human beings are capable to maintain this buildings in good conditions, even they can modernize them but without change their principal structure and fronts. On the other hand it's true that the cities of the world have to continue with its development. Therefore they have to build new buildings that allow people work with better and modern environments that let them work efficiently and also that offer development resources. New buildings brings new technologye as well, that could improve the efficiency, productivity and production of different companies, organizations, shops, offices, etc. In conclussion some buildings would be knocked down to make way progress and development. However that old buildings that have important history for human beings should be maintain. If we knocked down these buildings we would knocked down our traditions, culture, history and even some part of our lives.

The answer addresses both questions in the task, but the second question is only treated in a general way and so this aspect is not sufficiently developed. Nevertheless there is a clear argument that progresses logically in spite of some repetition. Connectives are used but linking between sentences is sometimes omitted, while referencing is not always clear. The range of language is adequate for the task, and there are examples of some less common words, which are used appropriately. The candidate makes mistakes in word form and spelling, but the meaning is still clear. There is a range of structures, though complex structures are not always successful and errors in grammar and tense are noticeable. However, these do not usually cause problems for the reader. Overall this is a clear example of a Band 6 response.

When we see the graph, domestic household is different of others. According to the graph number of complaints remained stable about factories noise from 1984 to 1966. It means most of skills and something made from factories. However society is getting change, so in the future people don't have to go factories, they can do most of things, at home. Maybe factories will be decrease. Number of complaints dropped steadily about road works from 1980 to 1996. It shows us most of road works, were formed in the past. Now days people don't have to road works because there already were todays. Number of complaints increased sharply about traffic noise from 1990 to 1996. It remained the same from 1980 to 1984. then it dropped from 1985 to 1988. However it increased from 1988, it means, many people have their own car and society is getting change. Now-days cars are necessary in our life and it will be increase continues. Number of complaints reached almost peak about domestic household in 1996. It increased suddenly from 1990, and it is highest to others. It means people want domestic and many people did that.

There is no introduction to the topic in this answer, so the opening is rather confusing. The candidate has tried to describe the key information but gives no figures and the focus is lost in the irrelevant explanations and excessive detail. The information is not well selected or logically organised, so it is difficult to follow the message. New points are not linked into the summary and relationships between points are not clearly signalled, although some basic linking words are used. The range of vocabulary is limited and even though the writer tries to use a range of structures, there is a lack of grammatical control and frequent errors in quite basic structures. This is a good example of a Band 4 response.

the evolution in technology nowadays is very rampant. People do not even recognize changes from one to another. There are a lot of modern equipment, appliances and even simple machines are available in the market. Competitors in business industries keep doing transformation, product development and more research works. Sometimes their own products compete each other. One of these modern equipments or appliances in the market that is very saleable is the telivision. Telivision dominates the communication and entertainment industries long time ago. Starting from the Black and White TV, here comes the Colored TV. In addition, Cable TV is now available in the market. In Southeast Asia, particularly in the Philippines, the most saleable appliances in the market is the television. Even the ordinary vendors in the market or in the side walk avail one so that they can watch telivision while working. Businessmen and employees watch TV for news and general information. Housekeepers and housewives, together with the children entertain themselves with the variety shows and soap operas through television. Everyone, in all walk of life uses telivision as one of their 'mate' in life there are some issues that modernization, new technology including television is dangerous for children or for the whole family because it destroys a sense of community and belongingness and sometime it influence the young people in their principle in life. In conclusion, telivision is a modern appliance that can help a lot in the life of each and everyone. It has it's own disadvantages too. It can do good or can influence bad paradigms to the people, but I believe that the result of the use or watching TV depends on the person or family themselves. Together w/ the development is the consequence of having great discipline in oneself.

This answer does not focus sufficiently on the question and a lot of irrelevant material is included. It is difficult to identify the candidate's position on the topic or to extract the main ideas. There is some organisation, but the development of the answer is not wholly logical. A range of linking words is used, but these are sometimes inaccurate and in some sections the candidate does not clearly signal how ideas relate to each other. There is a clear attempt to use an ambitious range of vocabulary, but there are a lot of inappropriate choices that indicate limited control. Similarly, the writer uses a mix of complex and simple sentences but makes fairly basic errors. Although there are some features of higher level performance in this script, the lack of focus and clear development limit the overall rating to Band 5.

Dear Sir or Madam, Hi. I write you this letter to report some problems with public transport in my area recently. I live in 'Blair Athol' and usually take Bus 224 from my home to Mawson Lakes Campus. But in the last 4 weeks, the bus has been frequently late. Sometimes the bus arrived late up to 20 minutes. The timetable seems useless. As a result, I have been caught late for the courses several times, which is embarrassing. I don't know what the reason is for the problem, but it's obviously affecting people's regular lives. For instance, if a staff comes to work late, he may lose his customers, and even worse, he may lose his job. People may endure a few times of the late transport, but they cannot hold on for many times. People need precise and accurate arrangement with their lives. So, I suggest you could solve this problem as soon as possible. Please notify the drivers to be on time. If current timetable is outdated, please notify the public the change. I wish this can be solved after you receive my letter. Thanks for your attention. Regards Yours

This letter has a clear purpose and all the content is relevant. The bullet points are well-covered but could be more fully extended. Apart from the overly informal opening and closing, the tone of the letter is consistently appropriate. The organisation of the letter is logical and there is very good use throughout of linking devices. The vocabulary resource is large enough to allow for some flexible and precise use, although there are some inappropriacies and occasional spelling errors. Errors in word order are noticeable, as is omission of prepositions and articles, but complex sentences including relative clauses and conditionals are accurate.

Many people say that cooking and eating at home is better for the individual and the family than eating out in restaurants or canteens. Do you agree or disagree? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience. Write at least 250 words.

Bài viết đầy đủ của thí sinh

Everyone has to eat. The question is, where to eat ? You may cook and eat at home, or just eat out in restourants or canteens. My personal opinion is that eating at home is better for the individual and the family than eating out. First, it has no doubt that cooking and eating at home can save a lot of money. Generally, the cost of eating in restourants is much higher than eating at home. By cooking at home, you don't have to pay the labor fee for the chef, and don't have to pay tips to the waiter. What you have to do is just a little hand operation and a little time. From supermarkets, you can buy cheap vegetables and meat, which may cost only 10 percent of the same food in a restourant. Sometimes, you can get cheaper food in discount time. Especially, a big family may enjoy the method, as the monthly cost would be less. Second, you can freely select your favorite food to cook. A restaurant cannot always provide you with delicious food. The taste of food in restourants is usually designed for the public, which is not suitable for a particular guest. If you miss the taste of your mum's soup, it's not likely to find the same one in a restourant. In this case, the best choice is to cook by yourself, to reproduce your mum's food to the best you can. Finaly, it's obvious that eating at home is more healthy and clean. You don't know whether it's dirty in the restourants, and also you don't know whether the food is fresh. But by cooking at home, you can know everything about the cooking materials. Moreover, it's easy to control the usage of fat and oil, unless you don't care to become too fat. In brief, I believe that eating at home is healthy and clean. If people want to save money, eating at home is also a good choice. In addition, people can cook what they like as well. So I personally prefer eating at home.

This writer states a clear position at the outset and maintains it to the end, where all the arguments are summed up and the position re-stated. The answer progresses clearly to its conclusion, with some good use of cohesive devices. Paragraphing is also well-handled and helps the reader. The ideas are logically organised and each main idea is supported with additional information. There are some errors in referencing. The range of vocabulary includes some original and less frequent items specific to the task. There are some inappropriate word choices, but the meaning is still clear. Spelling errors are rare, and there is a good variety of sentence structures.

Dear Sir or Madam I feel I must express my disappointment. I have received a new air conditioning system which has heating system as well. It is a new design in this year, convenient button function, and can fix on the wall. When I received, I was absolutely delighted. However I was using for 3 nights. Unfortunately I found some problems with it. Firstly If I switch it on it was such a big noisy. Secondly, as we all know nowadays very cold. Thus I bought this incredibly heating system doesn't working. if I turn on the heating switch only blew the cold wind. Consequently I couldn't sleep over very well. In addition, I had ordered marvelous violet colour. However I received fair beige colour. it was quite unbalance with my furnitures. I am still very upsetting. I think that is not reasonable cost.

This answer generally provides all the information required by the task, but the purpose seems incomplete without reference to the shop at the start of the letter. There is no reference to this being an item bought at the shop, even though it is evident that the writer is complaining. The answer is organised and there is a clear progression in the letter. The writing contains a range of connectives and some of these are used effectively to relate ideas. In some sections, however, these cohesive devices are used mechanically at the start of almost every sentence. The range of vocabulary is sufficient for the task and is a strong feature of the answer, in spite of some inappropriate word choice and some errors in word form. There is also a range of structures, with a mix of simple and complex sentences. However, control of syntax, basic grammar and punctuation is weak at times and errors are quite frequent. The flaws in setting out the purpose of the letter and the frequent grammatical errors limit this script to Band 5.5.

In this task two, I want to like the people should be allowed to continue to work for as long as they want to. If the people are working some concern, or the Government, they are always very free in mind, and they can "earn more money". If one can earn lot, he spend it some thing. Like most of the people want to build a house first, than they get many facilities. All are wanted now-a-days earn more money and they buy a car, all well furnished house, furniture, good articles, [espicially ladies spend lot of the money in her valuable articles, such as gold chain, hellace, bangles, and earings etc...]. In this context, I want to clarify one thing. That is if the Government or such concern are to restrict once "retirement", All of a sudden people will depressed. In my opinion, one who is elegible for working in his line, the company or the Government will not "disturbed" or forced to retire the people. The concern can give all the facilities to their employers, like, House Rent, conveyance allowance, educational allowance and the most important thing is the medical facilities are provide for their employers. one who satisfied in his or her job, they can wonderfully worked for (his or her) concern. So the Government or any other companies are always give much more important to the employers. In my opinion again I will tell the companies & Governments "do not forced to retire at a particular age such as 60 or 65" In a person who is not able to work in his 50th year, then he applied voluntary retirement. In this aspect the concern must provide all the benefit to this person. Such as, provident fund, ESI, Medical allowance and retirement-benefits. One who is satisfied his job, his life is automatically pleasent and his mind is peacefull. So the major companies are give more and more facilities. Finally, I would like to request all the concerns, do not forced to retire at a particular age limit in his employers. Please allowed people should enjoy and continue to work for as long as they want. This is in my view point, to tell the good companies and all the Governments. Thanking you.

The answer focuses on the question, but is quite repetitive. Ideas are not well developed and lack clarity, and some supporting ideas seem to be irrelevant. It is difficult to follow the argument or to understand how ideas relate to each other. Linking expressions and paragraphing are used, but not appropriately, and this creates problems for the reader. The range of vocabulary is the best feature of this answer as it is sufficient for a discussion of the topic, in spite of repetition of some inappropriate word choices. The control of grammar and sentence structures is weak, however, and the number of errors makes it difficult for the reader to extract the meaning at times. The range of vocabulary raises this script to Band 4.5.

The charts shows the oil resources held, together with the proportions consumed within the same area each year, in different areas of the world It is obvious that the region holding the most oil sources is the Middle East, with 56.52%, over a half of total world oil resources. While in the United States and Asia, the level of oil consumed each year is far more away from the oil resources they hold. The percentage of total world oil consumption of United States and Asia are 23.48% and 26.21% respectively. They are the two highest oil consumption region in the world. Another place that is worth mentioned will be the Western Europe. With about twenty percent of total world oil consumption, the Western Europe merely holds less than 1.5% of the oil resources in the world. Regions that are not mentioned above have the close percentage between oil holding and consuming. Whereas Canada has the higher level of oil holding than consuming, the respective figures are 14.84% and 2.48%. Overall, the charts suggest that Middle East is the only majority of oil resources held, While Asia, United States and Western have the highest level of oil resources imported.

This response describes the main points of the bar graphs and provides a summary of their most significant features. However, the figures are not well selected to support or highlight the key features, there are some minor inaccuracies, and details are missing, with only half of the countries on the graphs being mentioned. There is an overall progression to the response, though the middle section could have been structured more clearly and coherently by use of linkers. There are no errors in spelling, but this accuracy is achieved by staying within a limited range of vocabulary, and by relying on repetition of the phrases supplied on the question paper. Grammatical errors occur but are not frequent or serious enough to affect communication, and there is a range of sentence types which includes some complex structures.

There are two main problems with this response. Firstly, it is too short and does not meet the length requirement for a Task 2 response (a minimum of 250 words). Secondly, most of this response is irrelevant. From the seventh line, it goes off the topic of respect and instead discusses what provisions governments should make for the elderly. Apart from these two major weaknesses, there are some good points about this response. It shows evidence of organisation in terms of an opening paragraph which introduces the topic, and two concluding sentences at the end. Linking devices are quite well used throughout to connect the different ideas (although the response as a whole lacks coherence in relation to the actual question). The vocabulary is the best feature of this writing: in spite of the largely irrelevant argument, there is a sufficient range of words which specifically relate to the topic, and spelling errors are very few. As for grammar, the writer attempts complex structures, but these are faulty, and mistakes occur with even simple present verbs.

In comparison the school planned for 2024 has two carparks and three school buildings. The path in the 2024 plan links building three to buildings one and two, which are planned to be joined together by building infrastructure. A road is envisioned to connect carpark two with carpark one. In addition the sports field will be reduced in size and relocated south of its previous location below carpark two. The surrounding trees remain in similar positions only requiring a few trees to be repositioned or replanted around new infrastructure. These changes to the school buildings, road, path, carparks and sportsfield aim to house the extra 400 students planned to be attending the school in 2024. The only decrease in size of any part of the school from 2004 to 2024 is the sports field in order to accomodate school building number three.

This is a very accurate description of the two diagrams, which covers every aspect of the information shown. There is nothing inaccurate or irrelevant in this response with regard to content. It has a clear introductory sentence, and a summing-up at the end. The middle section of the response is logically arranged by year, though this first paragraph is rather long and could usefully have been split into three. Cohesive devices are few, but flexible, and help the reader when they are used. The range of vocabulary used is quite wide and precise, and includes several low-frequency items used appropriately. Errors in word choice and spelling occur rarely. A wide range of grammatical structures and all punctuation are accurately used throughout, but this criterion is not a 9 as the choice of tense could be more precise and consistent.

I MOST DEFINITELY AGREE WITH THIS STATEMENT, AND I AM CONVINCED THAT IF MORE PEOPLE WOULD SHARE THIS AGREEMENT, MANY OF TODAY'S PROBLEMS COULD BE AVOIDED AND, UNDER THE RISK OF SOUNDING CANDID, "THE WORLD WOULD BE A BETTER PLACE". IF ONE IS AWARE OF THE GENERAL, WESTERN (WELL, GLOBAL REALLY) CIVILIZATIONAL TENDENCY TOWARDS LIVING WITHIN CLOSED GROUPS, ALMOST FROM "BIRTH TO DEATH", ONE MAY FIND THAT ADRESSING THE SUBJECT AT THE EARLIEST MOMENT POSSIBLE IS A REASONABLE POSSIBILITY OF STARTING TO FIGHT THAT TENDENCY. CHILDREN ARE NATURALLY KEPT, IN THE FIRST FEW YEARS OF THEIR LIVES, IN A VERY LIMITED, CONTROLLED ENVIRONMENT, AND THEN GRADUALLY START OPENING UP TO THE WORLD AROUND THEM. SO IT'S VERY IMPORTANT THAT, WHEN THEY START DOING SO, THEY ALSO BEGIN TO UNDERSTAND WHAT SURROUNDS THEM - PEOPLE, RACES, SOCIAL BACKGROUNDS, FAMILY STRUCTURES, RELIGIOUS BELIEFS, ETC. - AS PART OF THE REAL WORLD WHERE THEY WILL LIVE AND BE CALLED TO CHANGE, IMPROVE OR CONDITION. THE ALTERNATIVE TO THIS WILL BE, AS IT IS ALREADY TODAY, THAT CHILDREN WILL LIVE MORE AND MORE ISOLATED FROM REALITY IN ALL ITS VARIED, AND SOMETIMES CRUEL, FEATURES. I BELIEVE THESE CHILDREN, NOT HAVING HAD A CHANCE TO DIRECTLY COMMUNICATE AND INTERACT WITH OTHER KINDS OF CHILDREN, WILL FEAR AND EVEN REJECT SUCH DIFFERENCES. IGNORANCE AND MISUNDERSTANDING IS (HAS BEEN AND WILL BE) ONE IMPORTANT SOURCE OF CONFLICT, AND SOCIAL CONFLICT IN THE FIRST INSTANCE. I THINK I CAN SAY I WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO HAVE ATTENDED AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL WHICH WAS CHARACTERIZED, AMONG OTHER THINGS, FOR JUST SUCH A FEATURE: EVEN THOUGH IT WAS A PRIVATE SCHOOL, WHERE PARENTS WHO COULD AFFORD IT HAD TO PAY A SUBSTANCIAL FEE, IT HAD A POLICY OF TAKING IN CHILDREN WITH ALL KINDS OF DIFFERENCES. I GOT ACCOSTUMED TO HAVING COLEAGUES AND FRIENDS OF LOWER SOCIAL BACKGROUNDS (ECONOMICALLY SPEAKING), WHO WHERE STATE-FINANCED TO ATTEND THE SCHOOL; WITH DIFFERENT LEARNING HABILITIES (DEAF, MENTALLY DISAVANTAGED, ETC.); AND OF DIFFERENT ETHNIC BACKGROUNDS (ASIAN AND FROM PORTUGUESE AFRICAN EX-COLONIES). I AM VERY CERTAIN THAT THIS PART OF MY EDUCATION HELPED ME BETTER UNDERSTANDING AND ACCEPTING THE WORLD AROUND ME; STILL NOWADAYS I HAVE ALL KINDS OF FRIENDS AND LIKE TO KNOW THINGS ABOUT ALL KINDS OF PEOPLE, AND I KNOW NOT EVERYONE AROUND ME DOES THE SAME.

Although the topic could be more precisely introduced, this response opens with a clear statement of the writer's opinion, and goes on to develop its position clearly and logically, right through to the end. The conclusion would possibly be stronger if it referred back to the actual topic rather than being wholly personal. Paragraphs are used to good effect, and the writing flows well, helped by skilful use of referencing pronouns to link sentences. There is quite a wide range of vocabulary used, with a natural feel for style and collocation, although there are also occasional errors in both word choice and spelling. The grammar consists of a wide range of sentence types used flexibly and accurately; though occasional mistakes occur in verb form and word order, these do not impede communication, and the majority of sentences are error free.

This response illustrates the need to read the question very carefully before beginning to write. Due to a misunderstanding of the three pie charts given, this writer does not describe the actual topic, but discusses types of job instead. This means that all the information stated in this response is inaccurate. However, the response is organised and some connectives are used to link the sentences together – this is the strongest feature of the response. Even so, it is not always easy to follow the overall development. There are many spelling mistakes on even basic words, and the range of vocabulary is very limited. Errors in sentence structure and grammar are frequent and there are few attempts at complex sentences. Although some structures within sentences are accurate, no whole sentence is correct, and this causes some strain for the reader.

Nowaday, the technolodge is much developed than before, and people owened a car is quite normal. however, the car gives us more easier life also takes many problems. every year has many people dead in traffic accidents. Some people think that reduce transport accidents the key is strict punishments for driving offences, I think that is the way and can be done. For me, traffic accident is well-known, as my father had met an accident, and because he drove too fast and too tired. If I told him strict punishments, don't so hurry, this accident might be should n't happen. When people always think that speed can take us excieting, wonderful feeling and forget their family worried about them, their future should be fantastic if they take care, Strict punishment is especially important. However, On the other hand, many ways can improve road safety, for example, more educate in usual life, more adverting on TV, radio, newspapers, limit speed on the road, stronger fines. I think that the most important is foundation, everything happened, nothing can do more. but before it happen, we can learn a plenty of from others accidents, why we drive so fast, why we forget the friends, family's love and worry. Father have to educate children, because of yours mistake, you may be broken two families or more families's happiness. This responsibility is huge that you can't imagin. So, I think foundation is the most need thing to do. let Every one need know about that car or other transports we invented is our life to be easier, not bring us sad, many years ago, not so developed society as now, but the world still turned very good, people's life still happy. why when the technolodge become so develop, lots of unhappy things happened, government should think about it, also our people need attention this problem, than our life will be more comfortable and more safety.

This answer is an attempt to address the three parts of the prompt (two opposing views and the writer's own opinion) but there are few relevant ideas. Instead, the writing is somewhat anecdotal and the last paragraph in particular is vague and seems to be dealing with a different topic, namely technology. The writing is laid out in paragraphs, but within each paragraph, ideas are not clearly grouped and seem to be repeated across paragraphs. Despite the use of linking words there is no logical sequencing of ideas, and they are difficult to relate to each other, so the argument is very difficult for the reader to follow. There are some relevant words, but control of spelling is so poor that several words are unintelligible. When we look at the grammar, some structures are correct but overall many sentences are lacking a main verb, so that although the meaning can be followed, this is only managed with difficulty.

Dear Sir or Madam, It is Mohammad khatib, one of the fans of your newspaper. I am writing this letter to you to let you know of some, I hope, rumors I have heard recently about construction plans in our popular public park. As you know, this is the only park within our immediate vicinity, and many people go there for refreshment and relaxing. So many children also play in this park with their peers. I have recently heard from some of my neighbors that Royal construction company intends to build some apartment blocks in the park. At first I did not take it serious until yesterday that I saw some engineers measuring and calculating diffrent dimensions of the park. We all like our local park including its beautiful fountain; its playground and amusing facilities for children. So, I, as the representative of most of the neighbors have collected signatures against this project. Therefore, we, as local neighbors, disagree with the plan and ask you to please kindly write an article about the disadvantages of this action and express our great disapproval of the plan. We are looking forward to seeing your article as our voice soon. Thanks from your cooperation in advance. Yours faithfully, Mohammad khatib

This letter covers all three parts of the question very well. Its content is relevant and well illustrated, and the writer's purpose is very clear.

It is easy for the reader to follow the message of this letter, because it has a clear structure and the ideas are presented in a logical order. Connecting words, referencing and skilful paragraphing all contribute to the coherence of the letter. Lexical errors occasionally occur in word form, word choice and spelling.

Even though doctors all over the world agree that fast food is bad for people's health, more and more people are eating it. Why are more people eating fast food? What can be done about this problem?

Unfortunately as the world goes on improving people more and more are eager to have fast foods. It's now a kind of habit for kids and also adults to spend their leisure time at fast food restaurants. On my opinion one of the major reason of using fast foods in many countries is the shortage of time that people face with. It should be investigated properly to solve this subject. As a matter of fact nowadays people in all over the world ought to work outdoors more than before. You know that living expenses are so high that spouses should work together in order to gain more. Therefore they have little time to spend on cooking. Another reason is the great advertisements which being done by TV programs or magazines, tempting every body to use fast food. Now, parents are paying more attention to their children's needs regardless of how much logically they are. They are about to provide their needs even if children are addicted to take fast foods or so. You know that obesity, high cholestrol, diabete and laziness are some outcomes of fast food, and if it is neglected may lead to serious problems. I think nutrition experts are expected to offer more warning programs to people about this matter. Government should spend a special budget on giving people some solution about this subjects. For example making animation programs bearing warning messages for the children is one way to make them aware of it's fate. Or cooking programs which learn how to prepare a healthy food in short time seemed to be usefull in solving this problem. In conclusion, it needs to plan a serious plan and spend more time and budget to find a way on solving the peril of its widespread. I hope every person would be more careful about his or her health especially on nutrition case.

Both parts of the question are addressed in this response, and the content is appropriate for the topic. The writer's position is clear, and there are plenty of relevant ideas which are developed and supported. These are arranged in an organised way, and paragraphing is helpfully used, so that the response as a whole generally progresses coherently to the conclusion. There are errors in word choice and spelling, but the range of vocabulary is quite wide and includes some less common words which specifically relate to the topic. With regard to the grammar, there is a mix of sentence types, but errors occur with plurals, prepositions, word order and punctuation, and with passives and verbs in complex structures.

Zoos. We Need You or Not. Last month, I went to the Dublin Zoo with my best friend Jack and his families. I can not remember When was the last time I went to the Zoo and see the animals. anyway it is long time ago. that time I was a kid and I was very very happy. We arrived the zoo around 11:00 AM, Jack's two children they so exciting, Keep running. Keep asking questions Keep taking photos.... but I did not feel happy any more, I saw the "wild animals" were locked in a small cage, they even didn't move at all, you can not believe they lived in the forest before. I felt sorry for them. I talked with Jack about what I felt, he answered, "Pal, I had the same feeling. if you think you give the foods and water to the animals that is enough, no, you wrong, they need freedom, the same as human." Human can fight for their freedom, use their hands, guns, even use their lifes But poor animals they want to do it, but against with their enermy - human. they will never win. When we left the zoo around 4:00 PM in the afternoon, We saw a group deers crossed the road. I saw them running, I even saw their smelling faces. On the other hand, zoos still have some advantages. First, the kids love the zoos, they can get knowledges the books and DVDs can not give to them, use there as a class to teach them love our world, love our earth. Second, you can save the animals, some animals they nearly disapper from the earth, like panda, we have to protect them. Let the number grow up again, and later we can let them back to their real home. Trade the animals as your friend, even if they are in the Zoo, I hope in the future, all the animals will free from the Zoo, enjoy their lifes.

This candidate has chosen to take an unusually personal approach to the topic, so that the basis of the response is an extended narrative of an event. This is not an appropriate format for a task that requires a discursive text. Although the content of the story is relevant, the extent of this personal account detracts from the overall response to the question. Rather than being used just as an illustrative example, the narrative takes over the whole response so that the story of the zoo visit outweighs the general discussion. However, both viewpoints are discussed, albeit too indirectly, and the writer's own opinion comes through clearly. There is some organisation to the response. However, the content is not always arranged coherently, and the paragraphing is not always adequate. The vocabulary used is fairly simple, and there are errors of spelling, word form and word choice. However, the vocabulary resource is just sufficient to achieve
