Student answer (Band 5.0)
The statement fullfills that, Maybe in future nobody would be able to buy the newspaper and books due to they will be having access of own online reading platfroms for everything without spending money. As I believe this because that can be happen in future.
In present days people are having there own types each technical mechines for different informantions with presence of online platfroms. In most cases public will apload each kinds of books, magzines, newspaper etc.., Due to buzy working schudles people are unable to visit shops for purchaseing of books or newspaper. The key point can matching to future trands for more effecent soure to get information in online, while not visiting store and spending time for searching it or buying it. For the solution, They will develop an digital reading apps, websites. As example we use hear about waytonews app which provides a lot infromation about socieity activities and also called book AI where it can provide ous almost each oriented books in online.
As will as, The curent market has a droppoints in printing of pyhsical newspaper or books due less margin of profit sells due to many digital , Online apps and websites, While we move to future generation will be hearing it as common thing due to demand in Telephone , Television, Apps. Websites, online platfroms infromation about that particular news report or books. The reason can be replacement of pyhsical into line for smooth process even without spending money for it and that can beneficial for public and students. For example students would have online reading books in tabs, gogle can replace a newspaper and At same time online class or coures will cover maximium topic about the books.
This can be conclude as Future generations should have access to each newspaper or books while not speanding money for them, Which can be benefical for not spending much time on shops and having weight in hands, even space for them too. So I striongly believe, The most significant change would be replacement of priented newspapers or books instand of having everything available in online itself.

Task Achievement / Task Response — Band 5.0
The response addresses the prompt by expressing a clear position in favor of the shift toward digital media. However, the development of ideas is limited by a lack of clarity and logical progression. While you mention factors like convenience and cost, the arguments are often repetitive and lack specific, well-supported examples. The mention of 'waytonews' and 'book AI' is a good attempt at supporting your view, but the explanation of how these replace traditional media is underdeveloped. To improve, ensure each paragraph focuses on a single, distinct argument that is fully explained rather than listing general observations.
Coherence and Cohesion — Band 5.0
The essay is organized into paragraphs, but the flow between and within them is often disjointed. Cohesive devices are used, such as 'As will as' and 'For the solution', but they are frequently misused or grammatically incorrect, which hinders the logical progression of ideas. Referencing is sometimes unclear, making it difficult for the reader to follow your train of thought. Paragraphing is present, but the internal structure of the paragraphs lacks the necessary logical links to create a cohesive argument. Improving the use of transition signals and ensuring clear topic sentences would significantly enhance the readability of your work.
Lexical Resource — Band 5.0
The vocabulary is limited and often inaccurate, which frequently impedes communication. There are numerous spelling errors throughout the text, such as 'fullfills', 'platfroms', 'mechines', 'apload', 'buzy', 'schudles', 'pyhsical', and 'instand'. These errors are frequent and distract the reader. While you attempt to use topic-specific vocabulary like 'digital reading apps' and 'market', the overall range is narrow and repetitive. To reach a higher band, you need to focus on accurate spelling and using a wider variety of vocabulary to express your ideas with more precision and less repetition.
Grammatical Range and Accuracy — Band 4.5
The essay contains frequent grammatical errors that often make the meaning unclear. There are persistent issues with sentence structure, subject-verb agreement, and article usage (e.g., 'The statement fullfills that', 'people are having there own types each technical mechines'). Many sentences are fragmented or run-on, and punctuation is inconsistent. While there is an attempt to use complex structures, they are often faulty, leading to confusion. To improve, you should focus on mastering basic sentence construction, ensuring correct verb tenses, and proofreading for common errors in articles and prepositions before moving on to more complex grammatical forms.
