Why this response received Band 5.5
The response maintains a clear view that newer technology is generally more convenient and uses relevant examples to contrast different users' experiences. Its main limitations are the single-block organisation, uneven development, and recurrent awkward wording and grammar that weaken precision. The highest priority is to separate the argument into purposeful paragraphs and develop each viewpoint through a clearly explained reason and result.
IELTS Writing Criteria Scores
Task Response
The response addresses both perspectives and presents a consistent position, but several supporting points remain general or only partly explained.
Develop each viewpoint with a distinct reason, a specific example, and an explicit explanation of how that example supports the position.
Coherence and Cohesion
The argument has a broadly understandable sequence, but presenting the entire response as one paragraph obscures the progression of its main ideas.
Use separate introduction, body, and conclusion paragraphs, with each body paragraph organised around one controlling idea.
Lexical Resource
The vocabulary is adequate for the topic and shows some range, although frequent awkward collocations reduce naturalness and precision.
Replace imprecise phrases with natural combinations such as adapt to new features, learn to use them, and make video calls.
Grammatical Range and Accuracy
A mix of simple and complex structures communicates the main meaning, but recurrent errors in articles, prepositions, agreement, and clause construction reduce control.
Proofread each complex sentence for a complete clause structure and accurate article, preposition, and pronoun choices.
