Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 4.5

The response recognises the topic and gives a broadly mixed position: it describes the internet’s convenience while also arguing that newspapers and books remain beneficial. However, the position is not clearly tied to the exact claim that future reading will be online and free. The opening, “I support that you found information about every thing on internet,” is difficult to interpret, and the conclusion says both perspectives are right without specifying how far you agree. Several points, such as online scams and contacting people, are only loosely connected to reading newspapers or books. To strengthen the response, state your degree of agreement directly and develop relevant comparisons, for example access, cost, reliability, and the continuing value of printed material.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 4.5

There is a basic paragraph structure, with separate sections for the internet, printed materials, and a conclusion, so the reader can identify the broad topics. Some linking expressions, including “Moreover,” “In addition,” and “While,” show an attempt to connect ideas. However, progression within paragraphs is often unclear: the internet paragraph moves from entertainment to phone calls, money transfers, social effects, and scams without explaining how these points support the argument about reading. References such as “they” and “this” are also unclear, and the conclusion introduces little synthesis. Organise each paragraph around one relevant claim, then explain and illustrate it. Use linking words to show precise relationships rather than simply adding another point.

Lexical Resource: Band 4.5

The response uses some topic-related vocabulary, including “virtual communities,” “information,” “advantages,” “disadvantages,” and “leadership,” and attempts phrases such as “remarkable impacts.” However, vocabulary is often basic, repetitive, or inaccurately combined, which can make meaning difficult to follow. Examples include “you caught a big fun,” “over brain,” and “we conffered a gift of books”; these do not express the intended ideas clearly. Spelling and word-form errors, such as “news paper” and “conffered,” also reduce control. Build a more precise range for the topic, including terms for digital access and print media, and check collocations in context. Prefer clear, accurate wording over ambitious phrases that do not fit.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 4.5

The response attempts both simple and longer sentences, and the use of “While” to introduce a contrast shows some awareness of complex structures. However, sentence control is inconsistent, and frequent errors sometimes obscure meaning. For example, “Internet is now leisure pursuit for everyone you share and exchange information” joins clauses without appropriate punctuation or structure. There are also problems with articles and agreement in “a information” and “internet leave,” as well as inconsistent tense in “you just pick the number and contacted with them.” Capitalisation and punctuation are often unreliable, particularly at sentence beginnings and around commas. Practise forming complete sentences with one clear main clause, then add subordinate clauses carefully; proofread articles, verb forms, agreement, and sentence boundaries.
