IELTS Writing Task 2 question

In the future nobody will buy printed newspapers or books because they will be able to read everything they want online without paying. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?

Student answer (Band 5.0)

Technology has very important part in human lifes so that's why no one can buy printed newspapers or books because they have online websites without any purches. While some believe that physical books or newspapers will be beneficial in the future. We will discuss related it and share own perspectations.

The primary reason why I agree from this statement that today technology has important part in the world and every person use this system.Similarly, i agree that books or newspaper will not be buying from any shops rather than people will purches this kind of articels from different website which have not any payment.For instance, a person who have not a lot of time so they prefer this kind of methods because it avoid from much time and other many great benefits.

Another argue that some people believe that this method is very useless and harmful for everyone they prefer physical methods than online methods. For example, some people say that online books or newspapers has not as amazing taste as has one book. They believe from firmly that printed books and newspapers are very best option and way to get a huge sucess in own aims. And they believe that printed books has a lot of knowledge than online books.

In conculsion, in my perspective and in my opinion both methods is very great and best and every methods has own benefits which people liked physical and printed books they also will prefer them in the future and which they have not time and then online books are beneficial for their in the future.

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 5.0

You present a general position in favour of the statement, especially when you say that people may use websites because they save time. You also acknowledge the opposing view that some readers prefer printed materials, so the response is relevant to the topic. However, the position becomes unclear in the conclusion: saying that “both methods” are best and that some people will continue to choose print does not clearly state how far you agree with the prediction that nobody will buy printed books or newspapers. The supporting ideas are also limited; for example, the claim that printed books contain “a lot of knowledge” is not explained. Develop specific reasons and examples, and keep your position consistent throughout.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 5.0

The response has an introduction, two body paragraphs presenting contrasting views, and a conclusion, which gives it some basic organisation. Connectors such as “For instance,” “Another argue,” and “In conclusion” signal the intended movement between ideas. However, progression within paragraphs is often difficult to follow, and some links are inaccurate or repetitive. The opening shifts from agreeing with the prediction to saying physical books “will be beneficial,” without clearly explaining the relationship between these points. References such as “this method” and “they” are also not always clear. Organise each paragraph around one main claim, explain it in a logical sequence, and use linking phrases only where they accurately show the relationship between ideas.

Lexical Resource: Band 4.5

You use some topic-related vocabulary, including “printed newspapers,” “online books,” “physical methods,” and “benefits,” so the reader can identify the subject of the essay. However, the range is limited and several word choices, collocations, and spellings make the writing awkward or occasionally unclear. Examples include “purches,” “articels,” “perspectations,” and “amazing taste,” which does not express the intended comparison naturally. Phrases such as “agree from this statement” and “a huge sucess in own aims” also show difficulty selecting precise expressions. Build a bank of accurate topic vocabulary and check spelling and collocations; aim to express ideas such as convenience, accessibility, and reader preference precisely.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.0

You attempt both simple and longer sentences, including a reason-and-result structure beginning “because” and examples introduced with “For instance.” This shows an effort to connect clauses, but the range remains limited and complex sentences are often faulty. Errors in agreement and verb forms appear in “every person use,” “a person who have,” and “books or newspapers has.” Articles and sentence construction are also problematic, as in “Technology has very important part” and “so they prefer this kind of methods because it avoid from much time.” These patterns sometimes make the intended meaning harder to follow. Practise accurate subject–verb agreement, articles, and complete clause structures, then proofread each sentence for a clear subject and verb.
