Overall assessment

The response takes a clear position that moderate consumption is preferable to complete avoidance, and it organises the essay into recognisable paragraphs. Its main limitation is imprecise vocabulary and grammar that frequently blur the intended meaning, while some supporting ideas, such as the argument about species regulation, are underdeveloped or confusing.

TR

Task Response

The response addresses the task with a clear opinion favouring moderate meat and fish consumption, but several main ideas, such as the species-regulation argument, are developed unevenly and lack clarity or full support.

6.0
CC

Coherence and Cohesion

Paragraphing and overall progression are broadly logical with some linking devices, yet cohesion within paragraphs is sometimes weak and a few statements connect poorly to the surrounding ideas.

6.0
LR

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is adequate for the topic but limited in range, with noticeable errors of collocation and word choice such as 'harmful acquaintances' and 'smaller request' that obscure meaning at times.

5.5
GRA

Grammatical Range and Accuracy

A mix of simple and complex structures is attempted, but frequent errors in agreement, article use, and verb forms occur while the central meaning usually remains recoverable.

5.5

What to work on next

Revise word choice and sentence grammar for accuracy, especially around key ideas like regulation, nutrition, and balance, so each supporting point is communicated clearly.
