Plastic waste is a big environmental problem that worries me a lot. It is scary how much plastic trash is in our seas and landfills, and it is harmful to plants and animals. I have taken a number of steps to deal with this problem in my own life. Carrying reusable bags, bottles, and tools has helped me use a lot less single-use plastic. I also make an effort to buy things that come in minimal or reusable packaging. It is part of my routine to compost food waste and recycle properly.

Task Response

5.5

The response adequately addresses the prompt's requirements by identifying plastic waste as an environmental problem, specifying its global occurrence, and outlining its detrimental effects on the environment. However, to enhance the response, consider providing more specific details about the locations most affected by plastic waste and elaborating on the types of problems it causes (e.g., ocean pollution, harm to wildlife, etc.). Including more specific examples of your personal actions to reduce plastic waste would also strengthen the response. The response could be expanded as it currently feels quite brief.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent and mostly fluent. Minor repetition and a slightly unclear connection between the problem and the personal actions could be improved. Consider adding a transition phrase to link the description of the problem to your personal solutions.

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is adequate and mostly accurate. Words like "charitable" are misused; consider using more precise environmental vocabulary (e.g., detrimental, damaging). The range could be expanded with more specific examples of plastic waste's impact.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammar is mostly accurate with a good range of structures. Minor errors such as the use of "trash" instead of "waste" are easily corrected. More complex sentence structures could be incorporated to demonstrate a wider range.
