Task Achievement / Task Response — Band 5.0
The response attempts to cover the main features of the graph, identifying key age groups such as the 16-20 demographic as having the highest internet usage and those above 50 having the lowest. However, the student struggles with clear presentation and accurate data reporting. For instance, statements regarding specific hours contain confusion and repetition, such as the mixed reporting for the 11-15 and 16-20 age brackets. While some comparisons are made, the overall selection and reporting of data lack precision and clear structure. The response is awarded a band 5.0 for task achievement because it addresses the task partially, with some ideas underdeveloped, inaccurate data points, and a lack of a clear, structured overview.
Coherence and Cohesion — Band 5.0
The text suffers from poor paragraphing and weak overall organization. The entire response is essentially lumped into a single block of text with an unmanaged flow of ideas. Cohesive devices are used awkwardly or incorrectly, such as 'Futermore' and 'tbut we talk about', which disrupts the logical progression of information. Referencing is also occasionally unclear, making it difficult for the reader to follow the transitions between different age groups and genders. Due to the lack of clear logical organization, inadequate cohesive devices, and poor paragraphing, this section fits the descriptor for band 4.5, rounded to 5.0 for overall coherence efforts.
Lexical Resource — Band 5.0
The lexical range is quite limited and repetitive, with frequent reliance on basic vocabulary such as 'net', 'hours', 'people', and 'gender'. There are several spelling and word choice errors throughout the response, including 'sevearl', 'catagory', 'wby', 'Futermore', 'deline', 'exect', and 'delive'. While the meaning can generally be deciphered, these noticeable errors and limited lexical choices cause difficulty for the reader and reflect a band 5.0 level. To achieve a higher score, the student needs to incorporate a wider range of precise vocabulary relating to data trends and statistics.
Grammatical Range and Accuracy — Band 5.0
The student attempts a mix of simple and complex sentence structures, but control over grammar is weak. There are frequent errors in verb forms, subject-verb agreement, and prepositions, such as 'The Graph illustrate', 'women uses decline', 'man and 5 for women', and 'comsume net foe'. Punctuation is also poorly handled, with missing capitals and incorrect capitalization in the middle of sentences. These frequent errors cause difficulty for the reader at times, placing the grammatical performance firmly within the band 5.0 descriptor range where complex sentences are often faulty and errors are persistent.
