Popularity of Crime Fiction and TV Dramas

Both questions are answered with a relevant position, but ideas are developed in a general way and the response is under the minimum length by 19 words, limiting full development.

Ideas progress logically across clear paragraphs with effective cohesive devices, though some linkers such as 'Also' and 'So' are slightly mechanical.

Vocabulary shows good range and precision, including items like 'intricate puzzles', 'immerse themselves', and 'negative perceptions', with only minor awkwardness such as 'According to me'.

A variety of complex structures is used with generally good control and only occasional errors, allowing meaning to be conveyed clearly throughout.

Both questions are directly answered with a clear position, developed reasons, and relevant examples, though the opinion is somewhat briefly extended beyond the earlier arguments.

Ideas progress logically through reasons, personal opinion and a conclusion, with clear paragraph organisation. The opinion paragraph partly repeats benefits already discussed rather than advancing the argument.

Vocabulary is flexible and often precise, including items like 'gut-wrenching', 'heinous offences' and 'captivating', though a few awkward collocations such as 'captivating materials' and 'seemingly innocence presence' persist.

A good range of structures is used with generally accurate control, with minor slips in agreement and form that rarely impede understanding.

The response answers both parts of the question fully, maintains a clear position throughout, and develops main ideas with relevant explanation, though examples are general rather than specific.

Ideas progress logically across well-structured paragraphs with clear linking devices, though connectives such as 'additionally' are occasionally overused and development is somewhat mechanical.

Vocabulary is sufficiently flexible and precise for the genre, with good use of terms like 'desensitizing', 'thought-provoking', and 'perpetuate negative stereotypes', though phrasing is sometimes formulaic.

A range of sentence structures, including complex and conditional forms, is used flexibly and accurately, with only minor errors that do not impede communication.

Both questions are addressed with a relevant set of reasons and a clear, if brief, personal opinion, but the under-length response leaves the evaluative side underdeveloped and unevenly supported.

Ideas progress logically across well-separated paragraphs with effective linking devices, though some sentences pack multiple points together in a way that slightly compresses the development.

Vocabulary has a good range, including “cutting-edge forensic techniques”, “double-edged sword” and “socially conscious”. Some choices need greater precision: “spectators” does not cover readers naturally, and “compliments and criticism” describes reactions rather than the benefits and harms being evaluated.

A wide range of complex structures is used with generally good control, and errors are occasional and non-impeding, such as agreement in 'the appeal... deepen' and an awkward participial phrase.

Both questions are fully addressed with a clear position, well-developed ideas, and relevant extended examples from knowledge and experience.

The discussion moves logically from moral resolution to fascination with criminal lifestyles, then to the writer’s personal preference. Connectives make these stages clear, although the supplied text forms one paragraph rather than visibly separated paragraphs.

Vocabulary is wide and precise, with natural collocations such as 'law-abiding civilians', 'criminal masterminds', and 'opulent and chaotic lifestyles', and only rare minor slips.

A wide range of structures is used flexibly and accurately, including complex relative and conditional forms, with errors being rare and non-impeding.

Paragraphing is logical and progression is clear with effective cohesive devices, though the organization is at times mechanical and predictable in its essay staging.

Vocabulary conveys suspense, curiosity and social commentary with flexibility. A notable imprecision is “forensic science fiction” for a crime investigation drama; the introduction also broadens the subject from novels and dramas to non-fiction.

Complex relative clauses and participial constructions are generally controlled well. Most sentences are accurate, although the long Broadchurch sentence leaves the reference of “which” less clear than it could be.
