Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 5.0

You identify the table’s age groups and report several relevant figures, including the peak for 16–20-year-olds (19 males and 18 females) and the equal figures for ages 26–30. However, the summary only partly fulfils the task because it lacks a clear, accurate overview of the main pattern: internet use peaks at 16–20 and then generally declines with age. Some figures are misreported: for ages 31–50 and 51+, the values are 3 and 4, then 2 and 3, not a combined total of 5 males and 7 females. The claims about mobile phones, social media, work, and positive or negative use are not shown in the table. Focus on describing the data and comparing the groups.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 5.0

There is some organisation: the response moves through the age groups and uses an opening and an overall statement. However, progression is not consistently clear, and the overview does not effectively guide the reader through the main trends. Connectors such as “beside this,” “but,” and “however” are sometimes used awkwardly or introduce ideas that do not follow from the data. The final comments about whether internet use is positive or negative interrupt the report rather than conclude it. Group the figures into a clear overview and supporting comparisons, and use paragraphing to separate these functions. More precise links between age groups would make the sequence easier to follow.

Lexical Resource: Band 4.5

The response uses a limited range of vocabulary, with repeated reliance on “use,” “number,” and “ages,” which makes comparisons imprecise. Several word choices or phrases are difficult to interpret in context, such as “thats so lackness,” “common point,” and “in both way.” Spelling errors, including “childern,” “differnet,” “interseted,” and “bussies,” also reduce clarity. Some basic terms, such as “male” and “female,” are relevant, but the report needs more accurate language for describing figures and trends. Practise using expressions such as “the figure for,” “was higher than,” and “declined” to report the table more clearly and avoid unsupported claims.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.0

You attempt both simple statements and longer sentences, but the range is limited and errors are frequent enough to make some sentences difficult to follow. For example, “the ages is given” has subject–verb disagreement, while “the number of man is more then female” has problems with number, comparison structure, and sentence formation. Several clauses run together without clear punctuation, as in the sentence beginning “and the ages of 31 to 51 plus.” Articles and plural forms are also often missing or inconsistent. Build accuracy first with complete sentences using a clear subject and verb, then practise joining ideas with “while” or “whereas” and checking agreement and punctuation.
