Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 5.5

You identify several relevant figures, including the peak for males and females aged 16–20 (19 and 18 hours) and the low figures for people aged 51+ (2 and 3 hours). You also make some comparisons between sexes. However, the overview is unclear and partly inaccurate: the 11–15 group is not the group with the highest use, and the conclusion that younger people spend the most time is too broad without distinguishing the 16–20 peak from the other younger groups. The statement that ages 26–50 spend “almost same” time also combines groups with different values: 26–30 is 4 hours for both sexes, while 31–50 is 3 for males and 4 for females. A clearer overview and more precise reporting of these patterns would strengthen the response.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 4.5

The response is divided into paragraphs and generally moves through several age groups, so the reader can locate some of the comparisons. However, there is no clear overall progression from an overview to organised details. The repeated openings “Moreover” and “On the other hand” do not always show a meaningful relationship between ideas, and the conclusion repeats a broad claim rather than summarising the main pattern. Information would be easier to follow if the first paragraph gave the key trends, followed by details grouped logically—for example, the peak and declining figures, then the sex comparisons. Some references, such as “the same age group,” are understandable but could be made more precise.

Lexical Resource: Band 5.0

You use some task-related vocabulary, including “age group,” “spent,” “hours,” and “difference,” and the main topic is usually understandable. However, the range is limited and several word choices or collocations are inaccurate or informal for a data summary. Phrases such as “give 19 hours of their time,” “too much,” “normal,” and “social media” do not describe the table precisely; it reports Internet use, not social-media use or whether an amount is normal. Spelling errors such as “childern,” “there,” “pluys,” and “plateforms” also make the writing less clear. Use neutral reporting language and accurate terms for the data, such as “recorded,” “spent online,” and “hours of Internet use.”

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.0

The response attempts both simple and longer sentences, and several figures can be understood despite the errors. However, control is inconsistent, particularly in sentence structure, agreement, and possessive forms. For example, “the image show” needs subject–verb agreement, while “the chart represent” has the same problem. In “The age groups between 26 to 50 having almost same spent time,” the sentence lacks a correctly formed main verb and has an unclear structure. There are also errors in “The are younger people spend,” where the clause is not grammatically complete. Build accurate simple sentences first, then add comparisons using structures such as “whereas” or “while”; check articles, verb forms, and punctuation when editing.
