Content: The essay addresses the task and provides two roles of journalists (influencing

opinion and inspiring action), clearly stating which is more important. The argument is
coherent, and examples are provided. However, the development of the second argument
(inspiring action) could be stronger by including deeper exploration or more varied examples.

Communicative Achievement: The conventions of the communicative task are used


effectively, holding the target reader’s attention. The register and tone are consistent and the
language choices are sufficiently formal and appropriate throughout. The candidate
communicates the message effectively, using appropriate examples to support arguments.
("First of all, journalists have the power to influence the beliefs of many. Through well-
researched reports and captivating stories they can easily change peoples views.")

Organization: The essay is organized logically with a clear introduction, main body
paragraphs and conclusion. The points are well-structured, though the transitions between
ideas could be smoother. A better connection between the two main arguments would
improve the overall organization. For example, when moving from the first argument about
influencing opinion to the second about inspiring action, the shift feels a bit abrupt. ("On the
other hand, reporters can make individuals to respond to issues.")

Language: A range of vocabulary is used effectively. A wide range of simple grammatical


forms is used with control and flexibility. However there are some noticeable grammar,
vocabulary, and spelling errors: "make individuals to respond", "change peoples views",
"indiviudals" "after your opinion was influenced".

Content: The essay addresses the task and provides two roles of journalists (providing
information and influencing opinions) but the argumentation is not fully developed. The
candidate mentions the importance of providing true information and influencing public
opinion but lacks depth and examples that could better illustrate these roles. Additionally, the
second point about influencing opinions is somewhat vague amd there is no clear topic
sentence. Moreover, the candidate quotes one of the opinions expressed in the discussions
instead of using her own words ''A good journalist will simply set out the facts accurately is a
great statement''.

Communicative Achievement: The conventions of the communicative task are used


effectively but the arguments are not fully explained or supported. Phrases like “journalists
can make us take a side based on their perspective” could be better explained.

Organization: The essay is structured with an introduction, main body paragraphs, and a
conclusion, but the transitions between ideas could be improved. The shift between discussing
providing information and influencing opinions feels abrupt. Using more linking phrases or
sentences to guide the reader through the progression of ideas would improve the overall
essay. The conclusion is general but doesn’t fully summarize the points made in the body
paragraphs.
Language: There are several grammatical, spelling and phrasing issues in the essay:
"Reciepts", "True and information", "Viewer perception", "Undoubtebly", "make us take a
side based of their perspective".

Content: The essay addresses the two roles of journalists—providing information and
influencing opinions—and provides examples of how journalists contribute to society. The
examples, such as reporting on wars and Covid, are relevant and help to support the point
about the importance of journalists in providing crucial information. The section on
influencing opinions could benefit from a more detailed explanation. For instance, the impact
of journalists on shaping public opinion could be further explored, especially in terms of how
media coverage affects public perceptions. Moreover, the candidate fails to state and explain
which role is more important.

Communicative Achievement: The conventions of the communicative task are used


effectively, holding the target reader’s attention. The register and tone are consistent but the
language choices are sometimes informal ("info","Just for us to see the harsh reality").
Moreover, the argument about influencing opinions could be better articulated. The essay
mentions the potential for spreading misinformation but doesn’t fully explore how journalists
can shape or challenge opinions.

Organization: The essay has a clear structure with an introduction, main body paragraphs and
a conclusion. The ideas are presented logically, but the transition between the discussion of
providing information and influencing opinions could be smoother through the use of more
linking phrases. Moreover, the conclusing paragraph does not summarise the main points of
the essay.

Language A range of vocabulary is used effectively. A wide range of simple and complex
grammatical forms is used with control and flexibility, particularly in terms of sentence
construction. However, there are a few grammatical and language issues that affect the clarity
of the essay: "Benificial", "trustable", "For example, many people found out about the wars in
Palestine, Ukraine and even about Covid solely through journalists".

All content is relevant to the task and the target reader would be fully informed. The candidate discusses two of the options
(transport and housing), makes a final selection between the two services and gives reasons for her choice. The conventions
of the communicative task are used effectively, holding the target reader’s attention. The register and tone are consistent and
the language choices are sufficiently formal and appropriate throughout, (transportation and housing are crucial; Transport
infrastructure is vital for; housing is fundamental for sustainable rural communities). The essay is well organised and
coherent, and the different ideas are clearly signposted throughout. The target reader can easily follow the argument. The
paragraphs are internally well constructed and are linked together appropriately. In terms of organisational patterns, the
overall effect is good throughout, due to the balance of length between the paragraphs. A range of vocabulary, including less
common lexis, is used effectively. A wide range of simple and complex grammatical forms is used with control and flexibility,
particularly in terms of sentence construction. (By focusing on building good houses, governments can help rural
communities grow and deal with problems like not having enough jobs or clean places to live)
