Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 5.0
You state a clear overall position in the opening—“I'm completely agree this statement”—and give relevant reasons, including the convenience of finding information online and the availability of news on social media. However, the response only partially addresses the exact claim: it does not clearly explain why people will stop buying printed books and newspapers specifically because online material is free. The point about online education and the prediction that the education system may change are not sufficiently connected to printed publications, and the final paragraph introduces the value of reading books without resolving your position. Develop two focused reasons, explain how each supports your view, and acknowledge the possibility that some readers may still prefer print.
Coherence and Cohesion: Band 5.5
The response has a recognisable structure, with an introduction, two body paragraphs signalled by “One of the main reasons” and “Secondly,” and a conclusion. This gives the reader some sense of organisation. However, progression within paragraphs is uneven: the discussion moves from newspaper readership to online education, then to Google and social media, without clearly linking these examples. Some connections are also unclear, particularly the shift in the conclusion from free online reading to the benefits of books for the brain. Use topic sentences that state one main point, group supporting details around it, and make the relationship between examples and your argument explicit. More precise referencing and fewer repetitive transitions would make the organisation easier to follow.
Lexical Resource: Band 5.0
You use vocabulary relevant to the topic, including “different platforms,” “online education,” “advantages,” and “social media,” and these terms help communicate your general ideas. However, the range is limited and several spelling and word-choice errors make parts of the response difficult to understand, such as “comptitions,” “numerious,” and “newaspapers.” Some phrases are also unnatural or imprecise, including “reduce the market of newspaper” and “the way to read newspaper.” Aim to learn accurate topic vocabulary and common collocations, then check spelling and word forms carefully. More precise expressions for changes in print readership and access to digital content would help you explain your argument clearly.
Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.0
You attempt both simple sentences and longer structures, including a conditional example beginning “if I want to learn” and a contrast introduced by “whereas.” This shows an effort to vary sentence forms. However, errors are frequent, and some make the intended meaning hard to follow. For example, “I'm completely agree” has an incorrect verb pattern, while “most of the people read news” and “everyperson have smart phones” show problems with articles, number, and subject–verb agreement. The sentence “After some decades the education system may be collaps or fully changed im online” also has faulty verb forms and structure. Practise building accurate basic sentences first, then add subordinate clauses, checking agreement, tense, and verb forms.
