Why this response received Band 5.5
The response covers all four news times and includes several accurate turning points, especially the August peaks and troughs. Its overview is vague, while frequent grammatical faults and imprecise expressions such as 'trend ceiling downwards' make the detailed account harder to follow. The highest priority is to state two clear overall patterns, then describe each line with accurate trend verbs and controlled sentence structures.
IELTS Writing Criteria Scores
Task Achievement
Most series and important changes are described, but the overview lacks specific main trends and some figures are inaccurate or imprecise.
State the stable 1 pm pattern and the contrasting peaks and declines of the other broadcasts in a precise overview.
Coherence and Cohesion
The response follows a broadly logical time-slot sequence, but faulty connectors and overlong sentences disrupt the flow within paragraphs.
Use complete sentences after contrast markers and organise each broadcast around its start, turning point, and end.
Lexical Resource
There is some useful trend vocabulary, but frequent inaccurate collocations and repeated use of 'ratio' and 'shares' reduce precision.
Choose standard graph language such as 'fell', 'recovered', 'peaked', and 'viewing figure' without figurative or unsuitable substitutes.
Grammatical Range and Accuracy
Complex structures are attempted, but frequent fragments, agreement errors, tense shifts, and malformed clauses sometimes strain comprehension.
Prioritise complete subject-verb clauses and consistent past-tense reporting before adding subordinate clauses or contrast structures.
