Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 4.5

You state a clear position—“I completely agree”—and address both newspapers and books, so the response is relevant to the question. You also give reasons, including free online access and the convenience of reading on a mobile phone. However, these points are only minimally developed: the discussion of newspapers repeats the idea of easy access, while the book paragraph introduces concerns about authenticity without explaining how they affect your prediction. The conclusion is incomplete and does not clearly restate your view. The response is also 7 words below the required minimum. To strengthen the answer, explain each reason with a specific example and finish with a complete conclusion that directly answers the question.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 4.5

There is a basic overall structure: an opening position, discussion of newspapers, a paragraph about books, and an attempted conclusion. Connectors such as “Furthermore” and “in conclusio” show an effort to guide the reader. However, progression is difficult to follow because ideas are repeated and some sentences are joined or punctuated unclearly. For example, “Becouse the news we keef update from the world every incident” does not form a clear link to the surrounding points, and the final paragraph ends abruptly. Paragraphing is present, but the ideas within paragraphs need clearer sequencing. Use one main point per paragraph, explain it in a logical order, and use accurate linking and referencing rather than relying on repeated transitions.

Lexical Resource: Band 4.5

You use some vocabulary relevant to the topic, including “access,” “technology,” “genuine,” and “authentic,” and you attempt to discuss both online and printed materials. However, the range is basic and repetitive, with frequent spelling errors and inaccurate word forms that make parts of the response difficult to understand. Examples include “indivual,” “dissapear,” “availibility,” and “authenithic.” Phrases such as “the news play a vital role” and “the cost of books and difficulty of availibality in market” also show imprecise or unnatural word choice. Build a bank of topic-specific expressions and check spelling and collocations carefully. More precise wording would help you explain your reasons without repeating “easy” and “free.”

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 4.5

You attempt both short statements and longer sentences, but grammatical control is weak and errors frequently obscure meaning. For example, “the will be able to read” is missing a clear subject, while “the printed newspaer and book will be dissapear” uses an incorrect verb construction. Agreement and verb forms are also problematic in “mostly people will be read newspaer” and “the books will be also disappear.” Sentence boundaries and punctuation need attention: several ideas are run together, and the opening uses a comma where a full stop is needed. Practise accurate simple sentences first, especially subject–verb agreement, articles, plurals, and future forms, then combine ideas using controlled clauses.
