9
|
extended and well supported ideas
|
uses cohesion in such a way that it attracts no attention
skilfully manages paragraphing
|
uses a wide range of vocabulary with very natural and sophisticated control of lexical features; rare minor errors occur only as ‘slips’
|
uses a wide range of structures with full flexibility and accuracy; rare minor errors occur only as ‘slips’
|
8
|
sufficiently addresses all parts of the task
presents a well-developed response to the question with relevant, extended and supported ideas
|
sequences information and ideas
logically
manages all aspects of cohesion well
uses paragraphing sufficiently and appropriately
|
uses a wide range of vocabulary
fluently and flexibly to convey precise meanings
skilfully uses uncommon lexical items but there may be occasional inaccuracies in word choice and collocation
produces rare errors in spelling and/or word formation
|
uses a wide range of structures
the majority of sentences are error-free
makes only very occasional errors or inappropriacies
|
7
|
addresses all parts of the task
presents a clear position throughout the response
presents, extends and supports main ideas, but there may be a tendency to overgeneralise and/or
supporting ideas may lack focus
|
logically organises information and ideas; there is clear progression throughout
uses a range of cohesive devices appropriately although there may be some under-/over-use
presents a clear central topic within each paragraph
|
uses a sufficient range of vocabulary to allow some flexibility and precision
uses less common lexical items with some awareness of style and collocation
may produce occasional errors
in word choice, spelling and/or word formation
|
uses a variety of complex structures
produces frequent error-free sentences
has good control of grammar and punctuation but may make a few errors
|
6
|
addresses all parts of the task although some parts may be more fully covered than others
presents a relevant position although the conclusions may become unclear or repetitive
presents relevant main ideas but some may be inadequately developed/unclear
|
arranges information and ideas coherently and there is a clear overall progression
uses cohesive devices effectively, but cohesion within and/or between sentences may be faulty or mechanical
may not always use referencing clearly or appropriately
uses paragraphing, but not always logically
|
uses an adequate range of vocabulary for the task
attempts to use less common vocabulary but with some inaccuracy
makes some errors in spelling and/or word formation, but they do not impede communication
|
uses a mix of simple and complex sentence forms
makes some errors in grammar and punctuation but they rarely reduce communication
|
5
|
addresses the task only partially; the format may be inappropriate in places
expresses a position but the development is not always clear and there may be no conclusions drawn
presents some main ideas but these are limited and not sufficiently developed; there may be irrelevant detail
|
presents information with some organisation but there may be a lack of overall progression
makes inadequate, inaccurate or over use of cohesive devices
may be repetitive because of lack of referencing and substitution
may not write in paragraphs, or paragraphing may be inadequate
|
uses a limited range of vocabulary, but this is minimally adequate for the task
may make noticeable errors in spelling and/or word formation that may cause some difficulty for the reader
|
uses only a limited range of structures
attempts complex sentences but these tend to be less accurate than simple sentences
may make frequent grammatical errors and punctuation may be faulty; errors can cause some difficulty for the reader
|
4
|
responds to the task only in a minimal way or the answer is tangential; the format may be inappropriate
presents a position but this is unclear
presents some main ideas but these are difficult to identify and may be repetitive, irrelevant or not well supported
|
presents information and ideas but these are not arranged coherently and there is no clear progression in the response
uses some basic cohesive devices but these may be inaccurate or repetitive
may not write in paragraphs or their use may be confusing
|
uses only basic vocabulary which may be used repetitively or which may be inappropriate for the task
has limited control of word formation and/or spelling; errors may cause strain for the reader
|
uses only a very limited range of structures with only rare use of subordinate clauses
some structures are accurate but errors predominate, and punctuation is often faulty
|
3
|
largely undeveloped or irrelevant
|
does not organise ideas logically
may use a very limited range of cohesive devices, and those used may not indicate a logical relationship between ideas

errors may severely distort the message
|
attempts sentence forms but errors in grammar and punctuation predominate and distort the meaning
|
2

Checker: essay was well- written. It was used many useful and related topic vocabularies. Almost no mistakes. But it has some misunderstanding with coherence and coherence. So overall score
