Overall assessment

Why this response received Band 5.0

The response identifies several plausible reasons for young people's interest in shopping and briefly recommends exercise, giving it some relevance to both questions. Its main weakness is that the second question is barely developed, while pervasive sentence, punctuation, and word-choice problems often obscure the intended reasoning; the response is also under length. The priority is to build a clear answer to each question in accurate, complete sentences.
