Sample Proficient Response (scorepoint 3):

In Bangladesh, it was hard for students to go school, and their community solved this problem. The problem is that there were floods, and the floods knocked down schools. The floods made it hard for kids to get to school. They solved this problem by building boat schools. The boat can pick students up, and they can learn on the bus. The boat has solar panels. The boat school means girls can go to school because it is safe. That is how the community solved the problem.
