Why this response received Band 5.0
The response states a clear position and uses generally understandable language, but it is only an introduction and is far below the required length, so no argument is developed or supported. The highest priority is to add two or three logically organised body paragraphs that explain distinct reasons for the position with specific examples, followed by a concise conclusion.
