Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 5.0

You identify the table’s subject and include an overview that recognises the peak among 16–20-year-olds and the low figures for people aged 51 and over. You also report several values accurately, including 19 and 18 hours for the youngest peak group and 4 hours for both sexes aged 26–30. However, the overview is difficult to interpret, and some comparisons are inaccurate or unclear: for ages 11–15, the male figure is 8 versus 6 for females, a difference of 2 hours, not “8% more”; for ages 21–25, the difference is also 2 hours, not clearly expressed as “2% less.” The response gives limited explanation of the overall pattern. State the units as hours and summarise the peak, decline, and small sex differences clearly.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 5.0

The response has a recognisable structure: an introduction, an overview, and two paragraphs covering the age groups. This gives the reader some organisation, and phrases such as “Moreover” and “On the other hand” attempt to connect points. However, progression within paragraphs is often difficult to follow because ideas are joined mechanically or the links do not express a clear contrast. For example, “Finally” introduces the 21–25 group, while “As a result” does not logically connect the 31–50 figures to the 51+ group. Several references, including “the above half century age,” are unclear. Group the figures in a consistent sequence and use straightforward links such as “By comparison” or “For those aged 31–50” to make the progression easier to follow.

Lexical Resource: Band 4.5

You attempt a range of vocabulary, including “disparity,” “component,” and “vis-à-vis,” and use some relevant terms such as “age groups” and “Internet.” However, word choice and collocation are frequently inaccurate, which sometimes makes the data hard to understand. Expressions such as “the quartor,” “less using hours,” and “extremly low user” do not communicate the intended comparisons naturally; “obstacle” is also not relevant to describing the table. Spelling errors such as “bee,” “unchanges,” and “Consequentely” further reduce clarity. Aim for precise, familiar data-reporting language rather than ornate or unrelated vocabulary. Phrases such as “the highest average,” “spent fewer hours,” and “the figures were equal” would suit this task more accurately.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.0

You make some attempts to combine ideas, using structures such as “which divided into two sector” and “which become less using hours on internet,” but these clauses are often faulty. Errors in sentence structure, verb forms, agreement, articles, and punctuation occur throughout and can make relationships between figures difficult to follow. For instance, “the residents divided into their age” lacks a correctly formed verb, while “both remain unchanges 4%” has problems with agreement and sentence construction. Some sentences also run together, as in “19% hours hence female 18%.” Build reliable simple sentences first, with a clear subject and verb, then add accurate comparisons using “while” or “whereas.” Check articles, plural forms, and full stops when editing.
