Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 5.0

You identify the main pattern: internet use is highest among 16–20-year-olds and lowest among people aged 51+, and you note that the 26–30 male and female figures are equal. However, the report only partially covers the table. It does not give any numerical values, and the claim that ages 11–15 are “second” is not accurate for both sexes: 21–25-year-olds are higher than them, while the 11–15 group is higher only for males than the 21–25 group. The overview is also repeated rather than supported with key comparisons. The response is 14 words below the required minimum, which limits the opportunity to select and report the main features. Include the figures and compare the age groups more precisely.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 4.5

There is a basic sequence from an introduction to descriptions of age-group patterns and a concluding summary, so the reader can identify the general subject. However, the response is presented as one paragraph, and its progression is not consistently clear. The opening repeats the idea of what the chart depicts, while “To sum up” restates the highest and lowest groups without adding a final comparison. Linking expressions such as “But” and “Moreover” are used awkwardly or do not clearly connect the ideas. Organise the report into a short introduction, an overview, and a paragraph comparing the figures, using links that show contrast or change accurately.

Lexical Resource: Band 5.0

You use some relevant topic vocabulary, including “age group,” “trend,” and “highest,” and the reader can generally understand that the table concerns internet use. However, the range is limited and several word choices or collocations make the description unclear or inaccurate. For example, “ration” appears to mean “ratio,” although the table reports hours, not ratios; “digital media” and “social media” also change the subject from internet use to other concepts. There are noticeable spelling and word-form errors, including “younge,” “decresing,” “Morover,” and “peolpe.” Use precise terms such as “hours spent online” and “internet use,” and check spelling before submitting.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.0

The response attempts both simple statements and longer sentences, but the range is limited and errors occur frequently. For example, “The chart show” has incorrect subject–verb agreement, and “the highest number of hours spend” uses an incorrect verb form. The sentence beginning “The trend is specifically high…” is followed by the fragment “But lowest in the people above than 51,” which lacks a complete clause. There are also problems with articles, plurals, and sentence boundaries, as in “the citizen of Europe” and the run-on transition into “The trend.” These errors sometimes make relationships between ideas difficult to follow. Practise complete sentence structures and check agreement and verb forms in each sentence.
