Overall assessment

The response presents a clear partial-agreement position and attempts to support it with contrasting examples, which is its strongest aspect. However, the examples are often inaccurate or poorly connected to the argument, and awkward phrasing and grammatical errors regularly reduce clarity.

TR

Task Response

The essay addresses the task with a clear partial-agreement position and relevant main ideas, but the development is uneven, and some examples (Canada and ozone depletion, the China coronavirus point) do not clearly support the claims they accompany.

CC

Coherence and Cohesion

Progression is broadly clear with paragraph-level organisation, but cohesion is often mechanical and referencing is sometimes confusing, so the reader must work to follow connections between ideas and examples.

LR

Lexical Resource

There is some attempt at less common vocabulary such as 'elucidated' and 'sovereign state', but awkward and inaccurate collocations like 'wisely facilitation' and 'do impart that' limit precision and flexibility.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy

A mix of simple and complex structures is used, but errors in article use, contractions, passive voice and verb coordination sometimes obscure meaning, as in “its still”, “have to carefully supervise” and “even turning”.

6.0

What to work on next

Choose accurate, relevant examples and link each one explicitly to the argument, while revising sentence grammar and word choice for precision.
