❓ Why Band 5.0? Breakdown by 4 IELTS Criteria ⤵️

1️⃣ Task Achievement – Band 5.0
❌ Only a basic overview is provided.
❌ Many important details are missing (e.g., no numbers or specific years are mentioned).
✔️ The student attempts to describe trends but lacks accuracy and detail.
❌ No clear summary or full comparison of all data.

2️⃣ Coherence and Cohesion – Band 5.0
❌ The ideas are loosely connected and lack logical flow.
✔️ Paragraphing is used, but cohesion is weak due to repetitive sentence structures.
❌ Linkers like “so,” “maybe,” “but” are too informal or poorly used.

3️⃣ Lexical Resource – Band 5.0
❌ Vocabulary is very limited and often repetitive (“go up,” “go down,” “more,” “less”).
❌ No use of topic-specific or academic words like “fluctuate,” “decline,” “rise steadily.”
✔️ Some basic vocabulary is correct but too simple for an academic task.

4️⃣ Grammatical Range and Accuracy – Band 5.0
❌ Frequent grammar errors throughout (e.g., “bus is,” “go down,” “tram is more”).
❌ Very few complex sentences.
✔️ Some ideas are understandable, but the errors reduce clarity.

🔔 To improve: Practice describing data using accurate figures and dates, expand your vocabulary for describing trends, and work on grammar accuracy with varied sentence structures.
