6

5

recounts detail mechanically with no clear overview; there may be no data to support the description
may present a purpose for the letter that is unclear at times; the tone may be variable and sometimes inappropriate

presents information with some organisation but there may be a lack of overall progression
makes inadequate, inaccurate or over-use of cohesive devices

uses a limited range of vocabulary, but this is minimally adequate for the task
may make noticeable errors in spelling and/or word formation that may cause some difficulty for the reader
uses only a limited range of structures
attempts complex sentences but these tend to be less accurate than simple sentences
may make frequent grammatical errors and punctuation may be faulty; errors can cause some difficulty for the reader
4
