Student answer (Band 4.5)
In the moden era, in future nobody will buy printed newspapers or books because they will be able to read everything they want online without paying. I firmly agree for this development. because in future all printed newspaper price has been high so nmany masses save our money and read a newspaper online without paying. and they save our time they do not go to market and read a newspaper online without paying.I am fully agree for this development. We will discus this essay why i regarded as a agree fot this development.
The formost reason i agree for this development is that all masses save our money. It is largely beacuse in future all things price has been substantially increased. and nobody want to spent a money for printed newspaper and books. As a result all masses read a newpaper or books online without paying. and it is very beneficial for all young people. In future earning money is very difficult of all students.
Furthermore, the second primary reason is they don't waste our time. It is largely because all masses have enough time to go market for buy a printed newspaper and waste their bike fuel. Convitentaly in future all thing price were very high so all people always try to how save our money for students education.
In conclusion, Government should try to less price of all things so rarely people try to buy a printed newpaper or books. but now i am fully agree for this development. Beacuse it is very beneficial fpr students.

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 4.5
You state a clear position—“I firmly agree”—and give two relevant reasons: saving money and avoiding time spent going to a market. However, these points remain general and are not developed with examples or explanation of why free online access will replace printed books and newspapers. The conclusion also introduces a different idea, that the government should reduce prices, which weakens the consistency of your response. The essay is 237 words, so it is 13 words below the required minimum; the 21 words copied from the task prompt are not included in that count. To strengthen the response, explain each reason more fully and keep the conclusion aligned with your argument.
Coherence and Cohesion: Band 5.0
Your response has an introduction, two body paragraphs and a conclusion, and the paragraphs broadly group related ideas. The progression is nevertheless repetitive rather than clearly developed: saving money is repeated several times, as is the claim that people will read online without paying. Linking phrases such as “Furthermore” and “As a result” show an attempt to connect ideas, but some connections are unclear or inaccurate, and repeated “and” makes the writing feel list-like. For example, the second body paragraph moves from saving time to fuel costs and then to students’ education without explaining the links. Organise each paragraph around one main point, explain it in sequence, and use clear references and transitions.
Lexical Resource: Band 4.5
You use a small set of relevant terms, including “printed newspapers,” “online,” “price,” and “beneficial,” so the main topic is generally understandable. However, vocabulary is basic and often repeated, particularly “all masses,” “in future,” and “without paying.” Several word-choice and spelling problems make the expression less clear, such as “Convitentaly,” “formost,” and “newpaper.” Some phrases are also unnatural, including “save our money” and “I firmly agree for this development.” Build a wider range of accurate expressions for discussing cost, convenience and access, and check spelling and collocations. More precise vocabulary would help you explain your reasons without repeating the same wording.
Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 4.5
Most sentences rely on simple patterns, and attempts to join ideas often produce faulty structures. For example, “because in future all printed newspaper price has been high” has problems with sentence construction, tense and agreement, while “I am fully agree” uses an incorrect verb pattern. There are also recurring issues with articles, plurals and subject–verb agreement, as in “nobody want” and “all things price has been.” Punctuation and capitalisation are inconsistent, including sentence fragments beginning with “because” and “and.” These errors frequently interrupt the flow and sometimes make relationships between ideas difficult to follow. Practise accurate simple sentences first, then add controlled complex clauses using “because,” “so” and “although.”
