Band 4+: The diagram below shows the process of recycling plastic bottles. Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons where relevant

The report adequately covers the main stages of the recycling process, from consumer use to the production of new products. The overall structure is clear, with an introduction, an overview, and a description of the steps. However, there are a few omissions and minor inaccuracies: the step of transporting bottles to the recycling plant is not mentioned, and the description of the shredding stage could be clearer. Additionally, there are some grammatical errors (e.g., 'placed is recycling', 'the bottle pass through') and awkward phrasing that slightly affect clarity. To improve, ensure all stages are included and check for grammatical accuracy. The report falls short of the required 150 words.

The report has a clear overall structure with an introduction, an overview, and a body paragraph describing the process. However, the flow is somewhat disrupted by abrupt transitions and a lack of cohesive devices. For example, the sequence of steps is not clearly linked (e.g., 'After that', 'During the next stage', 'There after'), and some steps are missing or combined, which affects the logical progression. To improve, use a wider range of linking words (e.g., 'subsequently', 'following this', 'once') and ensure each step is clearly and separately described. Also, consider using more varied sentence structures to enhance readability.

The vocabulary used is adequate for the task, with some appropriate terms such as 'recycling bin', 'shredder', 'extruder', and 'pellets'. However, the range is limited, and there are some inaccuracies and awkward phrasings (e.g., 'placed is recycling', 'pass through shredder in small pieces'). To achieve a higher score, use more precise and varied vocabulary (e.g., 'discarded', 'transported', 'processed', 'converted'), and ensure correct word forms and collocations. Also, avoid repetition and aim for more sophisticated lexical choices.

The report contains several grammatical errors and punctuation issues that affect clarity. For example, 'consists of 7stages' should be 'consists of 7 stages', 'starts with' should be 'starting with' or 'which starts with', 'placed is recycling' is incorrect, and 'the bottle pass' should be 'the bottles pass'. Additionally, there are missing articles and incorrect verb forms. To improve, focus on subject-verb agreement, correct use of passive voice, and proper punctuation. Using a wider range of sentence structures, including complex sentences, would also enhance grammatical range.
