Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 4.0

You state a clear position in favour of the claim, especially in the opening of the first body paragraph and the conclusion. You also give relevant reasons, such as saving money and accessing news on phones or other screens. However, the response addresses the task only minimally: it does not explain how readers would access everything online without paying, and the example beginning “if we disagree with this opinion” is difficult to follow and does not clearly support your position. The response contains 228 words, so it is 22 words below the 250-word minimum; 23 words copied from the task prompt were not counted. Develop two relevant reasons with clear explanations and examples, and meet the required length.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 4.0

There is a basic overall shape, with an introduction, body paragraphs and a conclusion, and signposts such as “Firstly,” “Further” and “To conclusion” show an attempt to organise the response. However, ideas are not arranged coherently enough for the reader to follow the argument. The paragraph beginning “For example” shifts into a confusing hypothetical about disagreeing, buying books and future life, without a clear sequence. Connections between sentences are also often unclear, as in “this trend is becoming increased common this is online and digital network.” Use one main idea per paragraph, then explain it in a logical order; make each example directly illustrate the point before moving to the next idea.

Lexical Resource: Band 4.5

Your vocabulary is basic and repetitive, but some task-related terms—“digital network,” “printed newspapers,” “mobile phones” and “save money”—help communicate the general topic. At times, however, inaccurate word choice or collocation strains understanding. For example, “a no significant impact” does not express a clear meaning, and “future will be shows more different style” is difficult to interpret. Repeated use of “future,” “science” and “digital” also limits the range. Build a small set of accurate phrases for discussing online access, cost and print media, and check that each phrase fits its sentence. More precise vocabulary would make your reasons easier to understand.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 4.0

You attempt both simple statements and longer sentences, including a reason introduced by “because” and an example beginning “For example.” However, the range of structures is very limited, and frequent errors in sentence formation and verb forms may distort meaning. Examples include “In future will be able everything want to online,” “future will be shows,” and “we save money and every things saw on the screen.” Articles, agreement and sentence boundaries are also often missing or inaccurate, making several sentences hard to follow. Practise building complete subject–verb sentences first, then add one subordinate clause at a time. Check tense, articles and punctuation when editing.
