Overall assessment

The response presents a clear disagreement and organises its argument around income and technological proficiency, using relevant shopping examples. The main weakness is that the technology example mixes digital skill with internet access and physical strain, weakening the comparison with age. Personal preferences are also introduced but not developed, and some concluding phrasing is repetitive.

TR

Task Response

The disagreement is clear and maintained, and income is supported by a relevant comparison. The technology argument is less precise because its example mixes skill, internet access and physical strain rather than clearly isolating proficiency relative to age. Personal preferences are listed but not developed.

Coherence and Cohesion

The essay is logically organised with clear paragraph progression and effective linking devices, though the repetition of similar concluding sentences gives the cohesion a somewhat mechanical quality.
