communication.

Produces frequent error-free sentences. 
Has good control of grammar and punctuation but may make a few errors. 
 
Example 2
In the diagram above, 
it can be
observe
d
how acid levels in a human mouth are 
influenced by different types of sugary food. The acid levels were obtained until 40 
minutes after intake of the food. 
The first obvious and general finding, is the observation that the ph-levels of the 
three types of sugar rapidly decline in the first 5 minutes. 
Wonderful again! Well 
done. 
After these first 5 minutes, the ph-levels will start to recover to their initial 
levels, each with a different pace.
Need more data perhap!
It is clearly seen that cane sugar causes the lowest level of buccal ph-level and 
therefore the greatest acidity. Furthermore it takes much longer to recover from these 
high acid levels. Therefore
,
there is a longer time window for tooth decay to take 
place when we consume products containing cane sugar. 
Sugars originating from fruit and honey do not produce such a great drop in the ph-
level. The ph-level will drop to a number in between 4,5 and 5 in comparison to 3,5 
for cane sugar. This has 
the
consequence that the acid level will recover mu
ch
faster 
above the acid level at which toot
h
decay can take place. 
We can conclude that cane sugars generate a greater acidity in the mouth which in 
turn causes more tooth decay because of the longer time window for it to occur. In 
contrast, fruit and honey sugars cause lower acidity in the mouth and thus less tooth 
decay because the ph-level will restore quicker. So let’s stay away from these cane 
sugars!
