This week we take a look at a sample by a student targeting a 6.5, who made an all too common mistake.

.

Can you spot the positive and negative objective marking criteria?

.

1. Overuse of successive simple sentence structures
2. conjugation issues
3. prepositions
4. past tense
5. missing be verbs
6. articles
7. passive voice
8. collocation
9. tense
10. third person singular

.

🔹 Comments 🔹

Notwithstanding Task Achievement and Coherence and Cohesion requirements have been met, it is the grammatical accuracy and more importantly the lack of a range of complex sentences structures which are decisive with the mark.

This week we take a look at a sample by a student targeting a 6.5-7.0 who, in addition to the more common errors, made a single all too common and costly mistake.

Can you spot the positive and negative objective marking criteria?
1. Indentation
2. repetition with conjunctions
3. solecism

🔹 Comments 🔹
Some grammatical complexity is evident albeit with some repetition, as well as at least one broken sentence. The common error in question is the writer forgot to indent his paragraphs, which can cost the writer at least 0.5 band. Don’t give the examiner any excuse to deduct marks. Such carelessness is lazy and easily avoided.

This week we take a look at yet again, the most persistent HK-Chinglish errors that nearly all of the HK students are making in the IELTS exam. Although there are many mistakes in the following essay, all of which have been corrected, this analysis will focus on the most critical errors, or headshots, that even one of which will derail a 7.0 attempt.
This sample was written by a HK working professional attempting to get an all 7.0, just like everybody else, and just like everybody else, consistently still getting a 6.5. Can you spot the mistakes:
.
📌 Comments
☑️ 1. stronger paraphrase
☑️ 2. more LR (lexical resource)
☑️ 3. spelling errors
☑️ 4. some solecism
☑️ 5. more range
☑️ 6. singular plural incoherence, a fatal and careless mistake
Notwithstanding the candidate demonstrates above average lexical resource with some sophisticated complex sentence structures, adequate usage of discourse markers and clear progression of ideas, some careless and fatal mistakes are also made, including single plural incoherence, overuse of simple words, some broken sentences, lack of coherence or development of introduced Task Achievement topics, wrong use of pronouns mistakenly used as conjunctions which they are not, ultimately rendering the attempt a reasonably strong 6.5 but no cigar and no champagne.

📌 Comments
☑️ 1. tense issues
☑️ 2. spelling errors
☑️ 3. 3rd person singular
☑️ 4. passive versus active voice
☑️ 5. punctuation
☑️ 6. range; a range of complex sentence structures
☑️ 7. linkers
☑️ 8. appropriate lexical register
☑️ 9. “and” does not qualify as range for anything higher than 6.0
☑️ 10. over use of “on” as HK-Chinglish’s favorite no. 1 preposition, which is NOT a master key.
