Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 5.0

You identify the main peak correctly: people aged 16–20 have the highest figures for both sexes, and you report several other age-group comparisons accurately, including 26–30 (4 hours each) and 31–50 (3 for men, 4 for women). However, the overview is incomplete: the lowest figures are for people aged 51 and over, but calling them “senior citizens” is broad, and the response does not clearly summarise the overall decline after the 16–20 peak. Some descriptions are unclear or unsupported, such as “number of people cannot survive without using internet”; the table reports hours, not dependence or numbers of users. The response is also 27 words below the required minimum, limiting the detail and coverage. Develop a concise overview and report the figures as hours.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 5.5

The response has some organisation: it begins with an introduction, gives the peak and lowest groups, and then moves through several age bands. Basic linking words such as “However,” “Lastly,” and “overall” show an attempt to connect ideas. However, the progression is not consistently clear. The paragraph beginning “Using a web” shifts abruptly to the 26–30 group, while “Lastly” introduces the 21–25 group before the 31–50 figures, making the sequence difficult to follow. The final comment about people being unable to live without the internet does not connect logically to the table. Group the age bands in a clear order and use an overview followed by focused comparisons; this would make the organisation more coherent and cohesion less mechanical.

Lexical Resource: Band 4.5

You use some task-related vocabulary, including “average hours,” “age groups,” “equal,” and “compare,” so the reader can recognise the topic and several comparisons. However, the range is limited and word choice or spelling errors sometimes make the meaning difficult to understand. Examples include “hours invest on internet,” “hight level,” “man ratio,” and “cannot servive”; several expressions are not natural ways to describe table data. “Percentage” is also inaccurate because the figures represent hours. Use precise reporting language such as “spent online,” “recorded,” and “hours per week” only if the table specifies a week; otherwise simply say “hours.” Check spelling and choose standard terms such as “men” and “women” rather than “man” and “women.”

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.0

The response includes a few simple sentence patterns and attempts to connect clauses, for example, “However, Children use internet…” and “with figures of 31 to 50 age groups…”. However, the range is limited, and frequent errors in sentence construction and verb forms make some statements hard to interpret. In “The most notable point is 16 to 20 age individuals use internet,” the clause needs a clearer structure, such as “The most notable point is that people aged 16–20 use the internet the most.” Articles and prepositions are also often missing, as in “on internet” and “in eurpean country.” The final sentence uses “can service” where the intended verb pattern is unclear. Practise accurate simple comparison sentences before adding more complex clauses, and check articles, agreement, and punctuation.
