Student answer (Band 4.5)

In recent years, reading newspaper or books has become a serious concern in the majority part of the World. It is widely believed that this issue is becoming increasingly significant in all over the world. While many people believe that nobody will buy printed newspaper or books becasome basic underlying use they will be able to read everything they want online without paying. In my personal opnion, in future nobody will read newspaper or books because they want to read it online without paying, i strongly agree with the idea that reading online without paying. THIS essay will discuss some basic underlying reasons.

To begin with, the cxore reason behind it technology, because technology make life easier. For instance, technology make progress in every field of life we have many devices like computers, smart phones and many online services through this people donot buy printed newspaper or books because people watch news online in their phone so in future nobody will buy newspaper.

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 4.0

You state a clear position—“i strongly agree”—and give relevant reasons involving technology, busy lifestyles and future apps. However, the response addresses the question only minimally: the reasons are mostly asserted rather than explained, and the final paragraph is unfinished (“In conclusion, although,”), so there is no completed conclusion or final answer to the prompt. The discussion also shifts from whether people will buy printed books and newspapers to whether they will read them online, without examining the claim that online material will be free. The response is 226 words, below the required 250; this limits the space available to develop and support your ideas. Explain each reason with a specific example and complete your conclusion.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 4.0

There is an attempt to organise the response into an introduction, body paragraphs and a conclusion, and signposts such as “To begin with” and “Furthermore” show how you intend to sequence points. However, progression is difficult to follow because ideas are repeated or left incomplete. The introduction repeats the general claim, while the paragraph about apps ends abruptly and the conclusion consists only of “although,”. Some links are also unclear: “through this people donot buy” does not clearly connect the devices to the prediction. Give each paragraph one developed point, use clear references, and finish the argument with a complete concluding statement.

Lexical Resource: Band 4.5

Your vocabulary is basic but includes relevant topic words such as “technology,” “devices,” “online services” and “modern lifestyle,” which help communicate the general subject. However, the same broad terms and phrases recur, especially “core reason” and “in future,” and several expressions are inaccurate or unclear, including “serious concern” for the topic and “gives knowledge through this way.” Spelling errors such as “becasome,” “opnion,” “bussy” and “appsv” also make the writing less clear and polished. Build a more precise range for discussing publishing and access, and check spelling and collocations carefully. For example, distinguish reading material online from accessing it free of charge.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 4.5

You attempt both simple and longer sentences, including a reason clause beginning “because,” and use future forms such as “will be invented.” However, grammatical control is inconsistent, and frequent errors sometimes make relationships between ideas difficult to understand. Examples include “technology make life easier” and “the people lives modern life,” where subject–verb agreement is faulty, and “the another core reason,” where the article pattern is incorrect. Several sentences run together without clear punctuation, such as the long sentence beginning “For instance, technology make progress…”. Practise accurate subject–verb agreement, articles and sentence boundaries, then build longer sentences from correctly controlled clauses.
