Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 4.5
You state a clear position—“i am totally agree with that”—and your points about faster access to news and the convenience of online communication are relevant to the topic. However, the response only minimally develops the central claim. The example about sending messages by phone, email and social media does not directly show that books and newspapers will become free or that nobody will buy printed copies. The paragraph about news arriving quickly is also difficult to follow and does not explain why print will disappear. You need to address both the prediction and the claim about free online access, then support your view with specific, clearly explained reasons or examples. The required length is met; 15 words copied from the task prompt were not counted.
Coherence and Cohesion: Band 4.5
There is an attempt to organise the response into an introduction, two body paragraphs and a conclusion, and signposts such as “To commence with,” “Further more,” and “To recapulate” show an effort to guide the reader. However, ideas are not arranged coherently enough for the argument to progress clearly. The first body paragraph shifts from technological development to a historical account of sending messages, while the next moves between newspaper delivery, government duties and the speed of news. Several links, including “therefore,” do not make the relationship between ideas clear. The conclusion introduces people who cannot afford newspapers but does not clearly summarise the earlier reasoning. Use one main point per paragraph and connect each example directly to your position.
Lexical Resource: Band 4.0
Your vocabulary is basic and repetitive, with frequent reliance on “time,” “facility,” “easy,” and “technology.” Some topic-related terms, such as “printed newspaper,” “daily fresh news,” and “article,” are relevant, but several choices are unclear or inaccurately formed, making parts of the response difficult to understand. For example, “we cannot hide anyone in this world” does not communicate the intended point about information being widely available, and “they using there faclity of technology” is hard to interpret. Spelling errors such as “noboday,” “massege,” and “onlne” also weaken clarity. Build a more precise range for discussing digital access, print media and cost, and check spelling and collocations carefully.
Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 4.5
You attempt some longer sentences and use basic linking structures, but grammatical errors are frequent and often make the meaning difficult to follow. Examples include “our future will be go,” “i am totally agree,” and “they deliverd the people a daily,” which show problems with verb forms and sentence construction. There are also recurring issues with articles, agreement and tense, as in “the newspapers are made in the factory and they deliverd,” and several sentences run together without clear punctuation. Most sentence patterns are simple or are extended without reliable control. Practise forming accurate subject–verb–object sentences first, then add subordinate clauses and examples. Proofread for verb forms, agreement, articles and sentence boundaries.
