Good
A.2Grammatical structure variety and complexity
Moderate
A.3Language accuracy and communication effectiveness

A.4Pronunciation and intonation
Moderate
Criteria Feedback
Use of varied, topic-specific lexis and occasional idiomatic expressions (e.g. “nicht nur halbherzig”, “führt uns dazu, darüber nachzudenken”)
Wide range of grammatical structures including coordinating and subordinating conjunctions, relative clauses and infinitive constructions
Generally clear and effective communication with only occasional errors that do not impede understanding
Occasional word-order and verb inversion mistakes (e.g. missing inversion after “also”)
Literal calques in places (e.g. “Nur, hat der Junge…”) that reduce naturalness
Some repetition of sentence openers and lexis (e.g. repeated use of “Alle Menschen”)
Minor punctuation errors (missing commas before subordinate clauses)
1.1·Suggestion

Revise “sollten die Jungen dem Ort schon fleißig sauber gemacht haben” to correct word order and tense, e.g. “haben den Ort bereits fleißig sauber gemacht.”
1.2·Strength

Your idiomatic phrase “nicht nur halbherzig” enhances the communicative impact and demonstrates varied vocabulary.
1.3·Suggestion
Page 1• Click to view
Vary your sentence openers in the conclusion to avoid starting repeatedly with “Alle Menschen”. Consider “Unsere globale Gemeinschaft…” for stylistic impact.
1.4·Weakness
Page 1• Click to view
The phrase “Also deswegen die Jungen im Vordergrund auch Shorts tragen” is redundant. Choose one discourse marker (“Also” or “deswegen”) to tighten the phrasing.
1.5·Weakness
Page 1• Click to view
The transition “also nicht nur halbherzig” lacks inversion after “also.” Reorder to “also nicht nur halbherzig vorgehen,” ensuring verb-second word order.
1.6·Weakness
Page 1• Click to view
The clause “Nur, hat der Junge auf der rechten Seite Handschuhe und Schuhe getragen” reads as a literal calque. Consider replacing “Nur” with “Jedoch” or “Allerdings” for a more natural flow.
1.7·Weakness
Page 2• Click to view
Repetition of “unsere” in consecutive clauses weakens variety. Consider synonyms like “diese,” “jene,” or restructuring to avoid redundancy.
1.8·Suggestion
Page 2• Click to view
Replace “bewahren” with “erhalten” or “schützen” for a more precise verb choice in conservation contexts.
1.9·Weakness
Page 2• Click to view
In “leg ich persönlich weg,” the verb should be in second position: “lege ich persönlich weg.”
1.10·Suggestion
Page 2• Click to view
The term “wiederverwertbare Tüten” is misleading; use “wiederverwendbare Tüten” to refer to reusable bags.
1.11·Suggestion
Page 2• Click to view
Avoid using both “außerdem” and “können wir auch” in the same clause; choose one to streamline the sentence.
1.12·Weakness
Page 2• Click to view
In “unsern Müll recyceln und trennen” the infinitive requires “zu recyceln”; adjust to “unseren Müll zu recyceln und zu trennen.”
1.13·Weakness
Page 2• Click to view
A comma is needed before the subordinate clause: “lernen, wie wichtig die Umwelt ist” to clarify sentence structure.

The description of the three boys in red T-shirts is detailed and uses varied lexis to convey age, roles, and equipment effectively.
2.6·Suggestion
Page 1• Click to view
To deepen your analysis, explore the symbolic significance of the swimmers in the water—what might they represent in relation to shared responsibility?
2.7·Strength
