Viet, with 325 words written in this essay, I can only assume that you did not bother to time yourself with your writing. When you do not time yourself while taking the practice tests, you will tend to write more words, but not leave yourself enough time to go back and revisit what you wrote in case you need to edit, revise, or write a totally new essay if you see that your original essay is not prompt responsive. The aim is to write a minimum of 250 words but no more than 300 because you need to leave at least 5-10 minutes before the end of the test to work on improving the text you just wrote. Please remember that timing is crucial when it comes to the proper development and presentation of your essay. Don't waste time just writing words. You need to make sure your paragraphs are coherent and proper developed. So use a timer next time.  
  
If you don't mind, I will be scoring your essay on a per criteria basis because that is the only way that you will learn what your strong and weak points are in terms of Task 2 writing. With that said, expect my score for your essay to be highly different from the general score that you were given above . You may opt to believe whichever score you wish to consider as more accurate.  
  
TA 4 - Your opening paraphrase does not give the reader a clear idea of what the original prompt is about. The way that you framed the restatement is difficult to understand as it is lacking some key points in the presentation. You did not create a strong supporting foundation for your upcoming discussion in the TA section.  
  
The mistakes in the presentation are:  
  
1. It is generally ... but motorways. - There is no such declaration in the original prompt therefore you misrepresented the original topic for discussion. This created an inaccurate representation of the discussion topic.  
  
2. Actually, there are plenty of youths... owing to countless reasons. - Where is this stated in the original prompt for discussion?  
  
The opening paragraph is always a restatement of the original prompt in the way that you understood it. Do not offer information not in the original prompt. That creates confusion for the reader and is the main reason why you do not have a solid foundation for this discussion essay.  
  
C&C 5 - While you did present several key information in your paragraphs, you did not properly develop the discussion for any of the facts. As with any Task 2 essay, the single topic per paragraph helps you better form your paragraph explanations and allows you clearly develop your ideas in a method that is relevant to the discussion. You are not scored on the amount of information, but rather your ability to properly explain yourself in a manner that is clear and connected to the overall discussion you are presenting.  
  
LR - 6 Although you have some issues with word usage, you have managed to use the words in the proper context in your presentations. You have problems with tense usage and subject-verb agreements but these are minimal and do not really affect the overall paragraph presentation.  
  
GRA - 6 - you display an acceptable skill level when it comes to the creation of complex and simple sentence structures. While the sentence formations are not as proper as can be, these do not create any stress for the reader and still allows for easy understanding of your written work.
