Student answer (Band 4.5)

In the upcoming years ,nobody will buy printed newspapers or book because they will be able to read everthing they want online without paying .

I strongly agree with this statement , because the people become more urbanized and more bussy in there daily routine work .So they not have enough time in the future to read or buy printed news and books.

So i , think these data are available on internet without paying anything in future and learn these things more easily then the past . Things are totally change in future due to mordern technoloy .

Furthermore,every data regarding anything become more digitalized ,and have excess to this data to every person easily in future .

For example ,now the land record become digitalized for farmers to easily acess to his land record in the future. In the past this land record missing or damage due to many reasons ,like rain water and animal rats.

Meanwhile , technologies make much easier life to people and gives rights to generate anything online with little effort .

overall,technology have great revolation in the future because many things changes with the passage of time .

So, nobody buy anything which is in printed form because people not have enough time to buy anthing in hard form due to their bussy daily routine.In the future everythings will be have eaasy acess to everyperson on internet without any fee and these things will be more accurate ,without any error and data are more precise .

AI examiner evaluation

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 5.0

Your position is clear: you strongly agree that online access will replace printed materials, and you give relevant reasons, including busy routines and the increasing digitisation of information. The example about farmers accessing land records also shows an attempt to support your view. However, the response addresses the claim only partially because it does not explain convincingly why people will be able to read everything online without paying, or consider why some people may continue buying printed books and newspapers. Several points, such as technology making life easier and data becoming more accurate, are asserted rather than explained. Develop fewer reasons in more detail and connect each directly to printed publications and free online access.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 4.5

The response has a recognisable overall sequence: it states your opinion, gives reasons and an example, then returns to the conclusion. Linking expressions such as “Furthermore,” “For example,” and “overall” help signal these moves. However, progression is limited because several ideas repeat the same claim that information will become digital and easy to access, without building a clear argument. The land-record example is not clearly connected to newspapers or books, and the final paragraph combines several claims in one long stretch. Use separate paragraphs for your main reasons, explain how each supports your position, and make references such as “these things” more specific.

Lexical Resource: Band 4.5

You use some vocabulary relevant to the topic, including “digitalized,” “technology,” “printed form,” and “daily routine.” These choices make your general subject understandable. However, the range is limited and several words or phrases are repeated, particularly “future,” “data,” and “easily.” There are also frequent spelling and word-choice problems, such as “everthing,” “bussy,” “excess” where you mean access, and “revolation.” Some combinations are unnatural, for example “generate anything online” and “rights to generate anything.” These errors sometimes make the intended meaning less clear. Build a more precise set of topic vocabulary and check spelling and collocations before submitting.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 4.5

You attempt both simple statements and longer sentences, and the reader can generally identify your main position. However, grammatical errors are frequent and sometimes make relationships between ideas difficult to follow. Examples include “the people become more urbanized,” “they not have enough time,” and “technology have,” where verb forms or subject–verb agreement are incorrect. Sentence construction is also faulty in “So i, think these data are available…” and “everythings will be have.” Articles, plurals, and punctuation are inconsistent as well. Practise forming accurate basic sentences first, then combine them using clauses such as “because” and “although.” Proofread specifically for verb agreement, tense, and complete sentence structure.
