Overall assessment

Why this response received Band 5.5

The essay states a clear position and organises two relevant reasons around changing lifestyles and language, so its overall argument remains understandable. Development is limited by broad claims and vague examples, while frequent errors in articles, agreement, word forms, and collocation reduce precision. The highest priority is to build each main idea through a specific causal explanation and then edit sentences for basic grammatical completeness.
