Task Achievement / Task Response — Band 5.5
The response fails to meet the minimum word count requirement of 250 words, as it is only 110 words long. Consequently, the ideas are severely underdeveloped. While the essay attempts to address the prompt by identifying reasons for the trend and mentioning both positive and negative impacts, the discussion is fragmented and incomplete. The essay ends abruptly in the middle of a sentence, meaning the position is not fully developed or supported. To improve, you must expand on your arguments with specific examples and ensure you complete all parts of the task within the required length.
Coherence and Cohesion — Band 5.5
The essay lacks a clear logical progression due to its incomplete nature. While there is an attempt at paragraphing, the transitions between ideas are weak or missing. Cohesive devices are used sparingly and sometimes incorrectly, such as the abrupt start to the second paragraph ('To continue my view'). The lack of a concluding paragraph and the unfinished sentence structure significantly hinder the overall flow of the text, making it difficult for the reader to follow the argument.
Lexical Resource — Band 5.5
The vocabulary is limited and repetitive, with several spelling errors such as 'photographes', 'bloogers', 'motivited', 'eagar', 'propotion', and 'beneficaila'. The range of vocabulary is insufficient to express complex ideas effectively. While the meaning is generally understandable, the frequent errors and the lack of precise, academic terminology prevent the essay from achieving a higher score. You should focus on learning the correct spelling of common words and expanding your range of topic-specific vocabulary.
Grammatical Range and Accuracy — Band 5.5
The essay contains frequent grammatical errors, including missing articles ('In changing world'), incorrect verb forms, and punctuation issues. Sentence structures are mostly simple, and the attempt at complex sentences is often marred by errors, such as 'people able troi know about that palce'. The lack of control over basic grammar, combined with the unfinished state of the writing, makes the text difficult to read. Improving your grasp of basic sentence construction and proofreading for common errors is essential.
