Overall assessment

The response addresses the topic with several relevant reasons for prioritising alternative energy, showing its strongest aspect in the range of ideas on emissions, resource depletion, and geopolitics. Its main limitations are an unclear, late-emerging position and frequent grammatical and word-choice errors that reduce precision.

TR

Task Response

The response addresses the task with relevant main ideas about alternative energy, but the position is only implied and imprecisely framed, and some points, such as the discussion of wars and profiteers, are asserted rather than fully developed.

6.0
CC

Coherence and Cohesion

Ideas are arranged in a broadly logical order with basic sequencing devices, but linking is at times mechanical or misused, and progression within paragraphs is occasionally hard to follow.

6.0
LR

Lexical Resource

There is a sufficient range of topic-related vocabulary, including items like carbon dioxide emission and hydropower plants, but awkward or inaccurate choices such as 'tribunes', 'subsidises', and 'affects nature atrociously' reduce precision.

6.0
GRA

Grammatical Range and Accuracy

A mix of simple and complex structures is attempted, but frequent errors in agreement, comparison, and article use, for example 'each designed car model increase' and 'way too higher', mean accuracy is limited and meaning is sometimes strained.

5.5

What to work on next

State a clear, explicit position in the introduction and proofread subject-verb agreement and comparative structures throughout.
