IELTS Writing Test Task 1 Sample Band 6.5 Score – Cambridge IELTS Book 14

Here is the examiner’s comment:

The candidate has accurately reported the data for each chart and has presented a summary of the information, but could achieve a higher score by making comparisons across the charts, e.g. breakfast contains the lowest amounts of sodium, saturated fats and added sugar. The information is logically organized and there is a clear progression throughout the script. The main points are clearly signalled [The first chart | The second chart | All in all and there are examples of other cohesive devices [each of them]. The range of vocabulary is varied [data] contains an equal proportion of consumed | consumption | illustrates]. Minor errors do not cause misunderstanding [adding up 14% of sodium]. There is a mix of simple and complex sentence structures, using active, passive and modal verb forms and there is also subordination through the use of participles [Through eating lunch | By eating dinner | followed by]. More variety in grammatical structures would perhaps achieve a higher score.
