Coherence and cohesion: Organise your thoughts according to the answer. Link them in the right context. Make sure to compose a structured paragraph. Give examples.
Task achievement: This is where the examiner checks how accurate your answer is to the question. Understand what the chart means and spot all the essential features. Be clear and concise with your response. Avoid giving opinions.
