Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 5.0

You identify several relevant comparisons, including the peak for males and females aged 16–20 and the equal figure of 4 hours for both sexes aged 26–30. However, the overview is unclear and partly inaccurate: “maxmum man spent more hours” does not specify the age group, while “minimum woman” is ambiguous; the lowest figures are 2 hours for males and 3 for females aged 51+. Some comparisons are reported, but the response does not clearly summarise the overall pattern that internet use peaks at 16–20 and generally declines in older groups. To improve, give a precise overview and organise the key highs, lows and age-related changes around it.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 4.5

The response has a basic paragraph structure, moving from an introduction and overview to details, and it uses linking expressions such as “Moreover,” “Furthermore” and “Moving further.” However, the progression between age groups is not consistently clear: the discussion moves from 26–30 to 16–20, then 11–15, then 31–50, and later returns to 21–25 and 51+. Several transitions feel mechanical, and phrases such as “Nextly” and repeated “Futher” do not make the relationships between points clearer. Group the figures in a consistent order, such as youngest to oldest, and use a small number of accurate links to show contrasts and trends.

Lexical Resource: Band 4.5

You attempt a range of vocabulary, including “depicts,” “evident,” “analysing” and “decline,” but word choice and spelling errors are frequent enough to make parts of the report difficult to follow. Examples include “minimum hours” where the table gives average hours, “maxmum man,” “lucid,” and “spent hours increased.” There are also repeated misspellings such as “femae,” “diffeners” and “respetvily.” These choices sometimes obscure the intended comparison. Use precise, familiar language for describing data, and check spelling and collocations carefully. For example, “the highest figure was recorded for males aged 16–20” is clearer and more natural than “maxmum time was spent by man.”

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.0

You attempt both simple and more extended sentence forms, including clauses introduced by “whereas” and “which,” but control is inconsistent. Errors in sentence structure and verb forms appear in examples such as “male and female spent equal time in the age of 26-30 which was 4 hours” and “in the age of 21-25 man spent on the internet was 7.” The opening overview also joins ideas awkwardly with “Overall… Whereas…,” leaving the second clause incomplete. These problems can make the intended meaning difficult to interpret. Practise complete sentence patterns such as “Males aged 26–30 spent 4 hours online, the same as females,” and check articles, agreement and punctuation when combining clauses.
