Sample answers for Writing tasks
This is an answer written by a candidate who achieved a Band 6.0 score. Here is the 
exam iner’s comment:
T E S T 5, W R I T I N G T A S K 2
SAMPLE ANSWER
The candidate addresses all parts of the prompt, although there is some 
misunderstanding of the term 
shared freely.
Ideas relating to each sector 
mentioned in the prompt are presented, yet there is not much development of 
these, especially of sharing ideas in the business world. There is a clear overall 
progression, with the candidate’s own opinion presented at the end, but there 
are some errors in the use of cohesive devices 
[working there on out o f this
| 
which scientist
]. Lexis is mainly appropriate for the task, though there are some 
errors in word choice 
[actual \ releases]
and spelling 
[govenment
| 
limite
| 
theme
| 
loose].
There is a mix of simple and complex sentence forms, with a fair 
degree of accuracy: errors in grammatical control seldom prevent meaning from 
coming through.
