SAMPLE ANSWER
This is an answer written by a candidate who achieved a Band 5.5Â score. Here is the examiner’s comment:
This script directly addresses the requirements of the task: the purpose is clear and all the bullet points are covered adequately, in spite of some irrelevant details. The opening to, and the closure of, the letter are not appropriate however, particularly as the instructions for this task say ‘Begin your letter as follows: Dear Sir or Madam,’. Information is presented in an organised way, helped by the use of paragraphs and appropriate, if basic, cohesive devices [ Today I Now I A/so]. The range of vocabulary is just sufficient for the task, but there are noticeable spelling errors [wos firghtened I deseeses] and errors in word formation [childs]. There is a mixture of simple and complex sentence structures. Errors occur in some time/tense relationships [we see/saw I come/came home from school ], but other examples of similar structures are produced correctly [We walked out the door I My neighbour came out and he saw].
Dear local authorities,
I am writing because there is a problem with the rubbish collection in my local area.The rubbish has not been emptied from the bins for three weeks and there are rats and flies all over the area.
Today I was going to take my childs school. We walked out the door and arrgh we see a BlG horrid rat. My childs screamed. I wos firghtened and I screamed. My neighbour came out from his house and he saw a big rat too. Oh no this is so bad. Today my childs come home from school but did not want to. If he can stay at school he wants to stay there to not see the rats.
Now there are so many flies. When I went to the bins I saw so many flies.They are dirty with deseeses.Also My neighbour came out and he saw the flies too.
I think you need to empty the rubbish to stop the rats and fllies. If not we will get deseeses and be frightened to go out from our house. Please can you come this week and put the rubbish from my bin in to your rubbish collection truck.
Sincerely

SAMPLE ANSWER
This is an answer written by a candidate who achieved a Band 7.0Â score. Here is the examiner’s comment:
The writer addresses all parts of the task and presents a clear position throughout the response. Main ideas are put forward, and are extended and supported for each part of the task. Information and ideas are presented logically and there is a clear progression throughout the script. The writer uses a range of cohesive devices [Also I this I Â In addition I Last year I all I too I this film I In conclusion] Each paragraph has a clear central topic, which supports the overall sense of Progression. The range of vocabulary is sufficient to allow some flexibility [m o vi e theatre I movies], to use less common items [gadgets I popcorn] and to show awareness of collocation [meet up I big screen I sound quality lat different times and with different people]. There are only two spelling errors [frinds /friends I to gether/together]. There is a variety of complex structures and many sentences are error free. There is also good control of punctuation.
Some people think that now we can watch movies on gadgets we do not need to attend movie theatre.Some think that to be really liked movies must be seen in a movie theatre. In this essay I will discuss both these views and give my own opinion.
To see films on our tablets and phones there is no need to go to the cinema. On my tablet I see every film I want to see. Also this way is cheap.Each month I pay £.9 and I watch many films in my home or on train. If something happen I can stop and do it and later I can watch my film again. I like this and then I fully enjoy it as mi stress is not there.
In addition, I like to go the cinema. I like my friends and me to meet up and go to cinema and if I see my boyfriend I like to go to cinema to see a film to gether. Last year on my birthday many friends and me all went to cinema to gether and we watched Deep Water Horizon. I enjoyed this and my friends too, because the big screen showed more information  and because the sound quality was better than at home. May be in my house we will not be so happy to watch this film and see the famous actor. Also, we enjoyed the popcorn and coke we could buy.
In conclusion in my house I like to watch films on my tablet. It is cheap and easy for me, but I also like to go to cinema to see films, especially with friends. Maybe both are good to fully enjoy films at different times and with different people.
