Task Achievement / Task Response — Band 6.0
The response addresses the prompt by discussing the shift toward digital media and the potential drawbacks. However, the development is somewhat uneven. While you present a position, the argument regarding 'job loss' and 'unfitted spelling errors' is underdeveloped and lacks clear logical links to the main prompt about the decline of printed media. The essay touches on the main points but lacks the depth required for a higher band. To improve, ensure each paragraph focuses on a single, well-supported idea that directly relates to the prompt's core question about the future of printed materials.
Coherence and Cohesion — Band 6.0
The essay is organized into logical paragraphs, which helps the reader follow your argument. However, the use of cohesive devices is sometimes mechanical or slightly awkward, such as 'On, the another hand' and 'In the forthcoming future'. Additionally, some transitions between sentences are abrupt, and the referencing is occasionally unclear. To reach a higher band, focus on using a wider variety of linking words more naturally and ensure that the progression of ideas within paragraphs is smoother and more cohesive.
Lexical Resource — Band 5.5
You demonstrate an adequate range of vocabulary for the task, but there are several instances of imprecise word choice and collocation errors. For example, 'deny to purchase nobles' (likely meaning 'novels' or 'books') and 'in part accordance for this statement' are unnatural. There are also spelling errors like 'their' instead of 'there'. To improve, focus on learning common collocations and proofreading for basic spelling and word-choice errors. Expanding your vocabulary to include more academic, topic-specific terms would also be beneficial.
Grammatical Range and Accuracy — Band 5.5
The essay uses a mix of simple and complex sentence structures, but there are frequent grammatical errors that occasionally impede clarity. Issues include incorrect preposition usage ('in upcoming days'), subject-verb agreement errors ('this statement also have'), and awkward phrasing ('giving any amount of fee'). While the meaning is generally understandable, the frequency of these errors prevents a higher score. Focus on mastering basic sentence construction and subject-verb agreement before attempting more complex structures to ensure your writing is more accurate.
