Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 4.0

You attempt to address both sides and state a position with “I will large agree,” then give reasons about convenience, paper use and environmental effects, before acknowledging that some people prefer print. However, the position is difficult to interpret because the opening says people “will buy” printed materials, contradicting the prompt and your apparent agreement that they will not. The supporting points are mostly asserted rather than explained, and the final example about school and college students is unfinished, leaving the counterargument incomplete. The response also falls 3 words short of the 250-word minimum; the 15 words copied from the task prompt are excluded from the count. Clarify your stance and develop each reason with a complete, relevant example.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 4.5

The response has an identifiable introduction, two body paragraphs presenting reasons for online reading, and a paragraph beginning “Shifting towards the later notion” to introduce the opposing view. This gives the reader some sense of structure. However, progression within paragraphs is often unclear: phrases such as “Commence with the first and foremost notion that, Firstly” repeat the same transition, while “Furthmore” and “while” do not always show the relationship between ideas clearly. The final paragraph stops mid-example, so the discussion has no complete ending. Use simpler, more precise links, organise each paragraph around one main point, and finish with a conclusion that restates your position.

Lexical Resource: Band 4.5

You use some task-related vocabulary, including “printed newspapers,” “technology,” “environment,” “researchers,” and “printed form,” so the topic is generally recognisable. However, the range is basic and repetitive, with “every thing,” “read,” and “books” recurring frequently. Several spelling and word-choice errors make parts difficult to understand, such as “newapapers,” “sochlar,” “wabs,” and “force” where you appear to mean focus or concentration. Some combinations are also unnatural, including “save the environment to pollution” and “read every things online.” Build a more accurate set of topic phrases and check spelling and collocations; this will make your ideas clearer without relying on repeated general words.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.0

You attempt both simple statements and longer sentences with reasons and examples, such as the sentence beginning “To elaborate this, in the past…,” showing some effort to connect clauses. However, control is uneven: “every people will buy” has an agreement error, “This essay i will large agree” is not a well-formed sentence, and “it also save the paper” has incorrect subject–verb agreement. Articles, plurals and sentence boundaries are also unreliable, as in “in japen country people cannot read newspapers and books to printed form.” These errors sometimes make relationships between ideas hard to follow. Practise accurate simple sentence patterns first, then add subordinate clauses, checking agreement, articles and punctuation in each sentence.
