Examiner’s comments
Task 1b
This response is generally satisfactory. The writer
highlights key points, and makes suitable comparisons.
However, these points could be developed more fully.
The writer makes a satisfactory comparison of pasta
with potatoes. Then the writer gives information about
rice. However, the writer fails to compare information
relating to rice with the other foods.
The contracted form ‘it’s’, has been used (‘it’s clear’, and
‘it’s possible’) However, these words should be written in
full in a formal piece of writing.
The verb ‘used to’ (‘used to be erratic’) is used
incorrectly. It should be ‘was erratic’.
