Task Achievement / Task Response — Band 4.0

The response attempts to address the task by summarizing the data, but it fails to provide a clear overview or accurately report the main features. The information presented is often confusing or factually unclear, such as the mention of '51+ of ave of individual' which does not align with the data provided. The attempt to compare age groups is present, but the lack of clarity and the inclusion of irrelevant information (e.g., 'students are making a new investigation') means the response does not fully address the prompt. The main trends are not clearly identified or highlighted, leading to a fragmented summary.

Coherence and Cohesion — Band 4.0

The response is organized into paragraphs, but the logical progression is weak. The use of cohesive devices is often mechanical or misused, such as 'To begin with, so as to the age of...' and 'On the other hand, The lowest people...'. These transitions do not effectively link ideas or guide the reader through the data. Referencing is frequently unclear, and the overall structure feels disjointed, making it difficult to follow the intended comparison between the age groups and the hours spent on the internet.

Lexical Resource — Band 4.0

The vocabulary is very limited and often inaccurate. There is significant confusion in word choice, such as 'The country of European' instead of 'European countries' and 'different different age' which is repetitive and non-standard. The student struggles to use appropriate terminology for describing data (e.g., 'ratio of using internet' instead of 'usage rate'). The errors in word choice and the lack of variety in vocabulary significantly impede the clarity of the report, making it difficult to understand the intended meaning in several places.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy — Band 4.0

The response contains frequent grammatical errors that often distort meaning. There are issues with basic sentence structure, such as 'In the given table illustrates,' which is a fused sentence error. Subject-verb agreement is inconsistent, and there is a lack of control over articles and prepositions (e.g., 'in there daily Life in The country European'). While there is an attempt at complex structures, they are almost always faulty, leading to a lack of clarity. The high frequency of errors makes the text difficult to read and understand.
