Structure & Cohesion
Language & Voice
Conventions
The devastating impact of climate change demands immediate action from governments worldwide. While some argue that economic growth should take priority, there are many reasons why this is a problem that needs fixing. Rising sea levels threaten coastal communities and extreme weather events are becoming more frequent. Furthermore, the economic costs of inaction far outweigh the investment required. In conclusion, it is clear that something must be done about this issue.
“The devastating impact of climate change demands immediate action...”
Strong opening contention — clear, authoritative, and sets the direction for the whole response.
“there are many reasons why this is a problem...”
Too vague. Name the specific argument this paragraph will prove.
there are many reasons why this is a problem that needs fixing
the economic toll of climate inaction will cost governments far more than preventive investment
“Furthermore, the economic costs of inaction far outweigh...”
Good linking phrase. Back this with a concrete statistic to strengthen the persuasive effect.
Ideas & Content
Criterion 18.5 / 10Highlighted: Band 5Skilfully crafted and sustained. Sophisticated control of language, structure, and ideas throughout.
Well-developed ideas with strong supporting detail. Confident voice and effective paragraphing with mostly controlled language.
Sound ideas with adequate detail. Developing voice with some effective paragraphing.
Simple ideas with limited supporting detail. Basic structure and inconsistent language control.
Alignment comment
The response demonstrates well-developed ideas with strong supporting detail across all paragraphs. The persuasive voice is confident and the argument is sustained, though the conclusion reverts to summary rather than synthesis, which prevents movement into Band 6.
