Overall assessment

The response covers the main recycling operations and gives a useful sense of the process returning to its starting point. Its chronological structure makes the broad sequence accessible. The main limitation is sentence control: missing passive auxiliaries and incomplete clauses make several operations harder to understand, especially the production and heating of pellets. Some inaccurate vocabulary also weakens otherwise relevant descriptions.

TA

Task Achievement

The response identifies the overall recycling cycle and follows the main stages from collection to new products. However, the explanation of pellet production and heating is unclear, especially in "after that yield specific heat", so the transformation into raw material is not accurately explained.

6.0
CC

Coherence and Cohesion

The paragraphs and stage markers establish a generally clear sequence from collection to manufacture. Connections within sentences are less controlled, particularly in the pellet-production paragraph, and references such as "those make into blocks" require the reader to infer the intended relationship.

5.5
LR

Lexical Resource

There is sufficient process vocabulary, including "compressing", "crushed" and "plastic pellets", to convey the main operations. Inaccurate choices such as "cyclone process", "row material" and "by labour" reduce precision and naturalness.

5.0
GRA

Grammatical Range and Accuracy

The response attempts relative clauses and passive forms, but errors recur in constructions such as "the collected bottles sort" and "those make into blocks". Missing auxiliaries and incomplete clause structures sometimes obscure how the stages operate.

4.5

What to work on next

Rewrite each process stage as a complete present-simple passive sentence, naming the material and its treatment, and check that pellet production and heating are described as separate operations.
