Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 4.0

You state a clear position—“I completely agree”—and give relevant reasons, including convenience and portability. However, the response addresses the topic only minimally: it does not explain why online reading would be free, and the reasons are asserted rather than supported with examples or explanation. The final point, that online reading is “time effective,” is left unfinished, so the argument is incomplete. The response also does not meet the required minimum of 250 words, which leaves too little space to develop the position and address the question fully. To improve, explain each reason, consider the claim about free access, and add a developed conclusion.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 4.0

There is a basic attempt to organise the response: an opening gives your opinion, followed by a paragraph introducing reasons. The ideas about convenience and carrying books on a mobile are related to the topic. However, progression is difficult to follow because the response is very brief and the final sentence stops at “because it will need no,” leaving the point incomplete. The transition “Another, reason” is also awkwardly punctuated, and the repeated opening “Technology…” does not create a clear sequence of developed points. Use separate paragraphs for distinct reasons, connect each reason to an explanation or example, and finish with a conclusion that restates your position.

Lexical Resource: Band 4.5

Your vocabulary is basic but generally relevant to the subject, with words such as “purchase,” “convenient,” and “carry” helping communicate your main ideas. However, the range is narrow and several choices or forms are inaccurate, which makes some phrases awkward: “Technology is taking places,” “read they everything,” and “time effective.” There is also repetition of “read,” “books,” and “newspaper,” rather than using a wider range of precise terms. Aim to learn natural collocations for this topic, such as describing digital access, portability, and cost, and check spelling carefully. More accurate and varied wording would make your argument clearer and more fluent.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 4.5

You attempt a few sentence forms, including a reason clause in “because of some reasons” and a future construction with “will,” but most sentences follow simple patterns and control is inconsistent. Errors in word order and sentence construction appear in “Printed newspaper and books nobody will purchase” and “they read they everything,” while “It will be more easy to carry because all the books and newspaper will be in mobile” has problems with articles, plurals, and prepositions. The final sentence is incomplete, so the reader cannot understand the intended grammatical structure. Practise building complete sentences with a clear subject and verb, and check agreement, articles, and punctuation when editing.
