Student answer (Band 5.0)

In follwing paragrph I shall discuss both point view in the future nobody will buy printed newspapers or books because they will be able to read everything online without paying

In future AI takes over by genrating books and newspaper by giving one instrution then typest find handy to type than writting on paper and then printting it out and storytell can generat its book cover by itself without taking help from anyone.Due to making everything digital we can save tress to make paper we do not need to cut tress and to make we do not need to make ink .

We humans need to feel texter by holding paper real feeling of reading is when you hold book and neswpaper and run your fingers to read each wordrs from book and papers.By feeling the texter and making our finger run under word help our barins to be active .

In my opinoin I agree and disagree to have pyshical paper and books to read. Sometime to have digital copy is handy like when travlling . if we fouse to have everthing digital copy for everthing then we have difficult to connet with our brains it lead to in diffcult to read and write

So woluld conclude to agree and disagree in both way it would be better to have everthing blance i our life we should not cut down and fouce on one thing.

AI examiner evaluation

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 5.0

You address the topic and give a mixed position, noting that digital reading is convenient while printed books offer a physical reading experience. The points about saving trees and the tactile benefits of paper are relevant, but they are asserted rather than explained or supported, and the discussion of AI generating books does not clearly answer whether people will stop buying printed material. Your position also shifts: “I agree and disagree” is not clarified, and the conclusion calls for balance without specifying what that means. The response is 218 words, below the 250-word minimum; 18 words copied from the task prompt were not counted. Develop each main reason with explanation or an example, and state your degree of agreement clearly.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 5.5

The response has a basic paragraph structure: it introduces the topic, presents points about digital production and printed reading, and ends with a conclusion. This gives the reader some organisation, and the contrast between convenience and the experience of holding a book is potentially useful. However, progression between ideas is not always clear. The opening promises to discuss “both point view,” but the essay does not clearly organise arguments for and against the prediction. Connections such as “Due to making everything digital” and “So woluld conclude” are awkward or unclear, while the final paragraph repeats the mixed position rather than resolving it. Use topic sentences to signal each argument and link each paragraph explicitly to your position.

Lexical Resource: Band 4.5

You attempt topic-related vocabulary, including “digital copy,” “printed,” “travelling,” and “cut down,” and some wording communicates the general subject. However, the range is limited and several spelling and word-choice errors make parts difficult to understand, such as “fouse,” “texter,” “typest,” and “storytell can generat its book cover.” Some combinations are also unnatural, including “feel texter” and “connet with our brains.” These issues fit a limited but minimally adequate range: the reader can identify the main ideas, but must sometimes work to interpret them. Build a reliable set of topic vocabulary and check spelling and collocations; choose familiar, accurate expressions rather than attempting unclear phrasing.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.0

You attempt both simple and longer sentence forms, for example, “Due to making everything digital we can save tress to make paper” and “if we fouse to have everthing digital copy for everthing then we have difficult to connet with our brains.” However, the longer constructions are often faulty, and frequent errors in verb forms, articles, agreement, and sentence boundaries can make meaning difficult to follow. For instance, “In future AI takes over” lacks a clear future construction, while “it lead to in diffcult to read and write” has an incomplete grammatical pattern. Punctuation is also inconsistent, with several sentences running together. Practise building accurate short sentences first, then combine them using clear clauses and check each sentence for a complete subject and verb.
