Overall assessment

The strongest aspect is the complete task coverage: both views are discussed and a clear personal opinion on cities is maintained throughout. The main limitation is strained and occasionally illogical development, such as contradictory reasoning about people getting sick, combined with frequent awkward word choices and overused mechanical linkers.

TR

Task Response

The response addresses both views, states a clear opinion favouring cities, and extends main ideas with examples, though some development is strained or internally inconsistent, limiting full task achievement.

Coherence and Cohesion

Progression is broadly clear with paragraphs dedicated to each view, but cohesion relies heavily on mechanical linkers such as 'Thus' and 'So', and some sentences connect illogically.

LR

Lexical Resource

There is a noticeable attempt at less common vocabulary such as 'serene', 'hospitable ambience' and 'rejuvenate', but inaccurate collocations like 'a few masses' and 'people are conducive' reduce precision.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy

The essay attempts complex structures, but both body paragraphs open with sentence fragments, and article errors and a broken conclusion construction reduce accuracy. Most intended meanings remain recoverable.

6.0

What to work on next

Revise the logical flow within paragraphs, ensuring each supporting point genuinely follows from the previous one and removing contradictory statements.
