The main parts of the prompt are addressed (though some may be
more fully covered than others). An appropriate format is used.
A position is presented that is directly relevant to the prompt,
although the conclusions drawn may
be unclear, unjustified or
repetitive.
Main ideas are relevant, but some may be insufficiently developed
or may
lack clarity, while some supporting arguments and evidence
may be less relevant or inadequate.
Information and ideas are generally arranged
coherently and there is a clear overall
progression.
Cohesive devices are used to some good effect
but cohesion within and/or between sentences
may be faulty or mechanical due to misuse,
overuse or omission.
The use of reference and substitution may lack
flexibility or clarity and result in some
repetition or error.
Paragraphing may not always be logical and/or
the central topic may not always be clear.
The resource is generally adequate and
appropriate for the task.
The meaning is generally clear in spite of a
rather restricted range or a lack of
precision in word choice.
If the writer is a risk-taker, there will be a
wider range of vocabulary used but higher
degrees of inaccuracy or inappropriacy.
There are some errors in spelling and/or
word formation, but these do not impede
communication.
A mix of simple and complex sentence
forms is used but flexibility is limited.
Examples of more complex structures are
not marked by
the same level of accuracy
as in simple structures.
Errors in grammar and punctuation occur,
but rarely impede communication.
