Overall assessment

Why this response received Band 5.5

The response establishes a clear favourable position and provides several relevant benefits of modern communication systems. However, at only 152 words, it is substantially underdeveloped, lacks a conclusion, and relies on a list of loosely explained claims expressed through frequent awkward collocations. The highest-priority improvement is to complete a full essay with developed examples, a concluding restatement, and more natural word combinations.
