Task Response — The question asks to what extent you agree/disagree, which invites a nuanced answer. Saying you "completely agree" and then writing a full paragraph on benefits creates a contradiction. Either defend your position more strongly or use a partial agreement structure. Introduction - Body Paragraph 1: Negative effect #1 - Body Paragraph 2: Negative effect #2 - Conclusion Fully agree/disagree - 2 body paragraphs supporting your position. - Mention the opposite side briefly (1–2 sentences) if desired, but don't devote an entire body paragraph to it. Partly agree/disagree - 1 paragraph for each side. - Make it clear which side is stronger. Areas for Improvement Grammar & Sentence Structure - Several awkward or inaccurate phrases: "young generations" → young people / the younger generation "join an unrealistic lifestyle" → adopt unrealistic lifestyles "do not have good productivity" → have lower productivity Vocabulary - Vocabulary is adequate but somewhat repetitive (social media, young people, students). - Try using a wider range of expressions such as adolescents, teenagers, excessive screen time, online platforms, self-esteem. Estimated Band: 6.0
WRITING TASK 1 ASSIGNMENT
The given bar chart provides information about how people aged 25 to 34 are housed in the United Kingdom. From an overall perspective, it can be clearly seen that the percentage of home owners declined steadily over the period, while the proportion of renters increased significantly. It is interesting to note that in the end renters became more common than home owners. Looking in detail, the proportion of home owners was the highest percentage in 2004, then the percentage decreased gradually from below 60 percent in 2004 to approximately 47 percent in 2010. On the other hand, the figure for renters significantly increased from 20 percent in 2004 to below 40 percent in 2010. Next, between 2011 and 2012 both proportions were similar, the proportions of home owners stood at around 43 percent and renters accounted for about 41 percent. After that, the percentage of home owners decreased slightly at around 35 percent in 2014, whereas the figure for renters rose to just below 50 percent in 2014. I worked on it for 30 minutes. :)

Wow Ayu! Really nice! I would give this a 6 ... Task Achievement — 6 The overview is there (good!), key trends are identified, and specific data is discussed. However, the introduction is very minimal ("The given bar chart provides information about…") — it needs more paraphrasing. Some data points may also be slightly imprecise. Coherence & Cohesion — 6 Clear paragraphing and a good range of linking devices ("On the other hand", "whereas", "After that"). The issue is "Next" as a paragraph opener — it's too informal/mechanical for Task 1. There's also a comma splice: "both proportions were similar, the proportions of home owners stood at…" Lexical Resource — 6 Good synonyms: declined, rose, accounted for, stood at, figure/proportion/percentage. Two problems though: "It is interesting to note that" is not appropriate in academic Task 1. Also "decreased slightly at around 35 percent" — should be 'to'. Grammatical Range & Accuracy — 6 A mix of sentence structures, but a few errors: the comma splice mentioned above, and "the proportion of home owners was the highest percentage" is an awkward construction mixing two different terms. Model Improved Version (Band 7-ish) The bar chart illustrates the percentages of people aged 25–34 in the United Kingdom who either owned or rented accommodation between 2004 and 2014. Overall, the proportion of homeowners declined steadily throughout the period, whereas the percentage of renters rose considerably. By 2014, renting had become more common than homeownership. In 2004, homeownership was at its highest point, at approximately 58%, before falling gradually to around 47% in 2010. In contrast, the figure for renters increased significantly from about 20% to nearly 40% over the same period. Between 2011 and 2012, the percentages of homeowners and renters became relatively similar, standing at around 43% and 41% respectively. After that, the proportion of homeowners continued to fall to roughly 35% in 2014, while the percentage of renters climbed to just under 50%.
