Sample answer 2
Attempt
Inadequate.

reasonably appropriately. However, the
grammatical forms are simple and frequently
incorrect.
Problems with prepositions, tenses, relative
pronouns, word order, articles and spelling.
Range
Limited, both in vocabulary and grammar.
Organisation/Cohesion
Some cohesive devices are correctly used, but
114 words these are all taken from the unit. Few linking
words in evidence.
Accuracy
Little control, requires considerable effort, e.g. ‘I
needed a real camera than my phone.’
Communicative achievement
Frequent errors affect communication
negatively.
Content
On task.

of appropriate linking words, effective use of

us the historic time’ but communication is not
impeded.

required by the reader.
