Overall assessment

The strongest aspect is a clearly stated opinion that computers are essential despite health and social risks, supported by some relevant examples. The main limitation is persistent imprecise wording and grammatical error, alongside ideas that remain thinly developed and loosely organised.

TR

Task Response

A clear position is presented and both benefits and harms are touched on, but ideas are only partially developed, examples are thin, and points such as the history of the computer do not advance the argument.

5.0
CC

Coherence and Cohesion

The response has an overall shape with linking devices, but progression is mechanical and sometimes illogical, with misused sequencing like 'Firstly', 'Secondly', and 'Thirdly' and abrupt shifts between ideas.

5.0
LR

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is adequate for the topic but limited and often imprecise, with noticeable awkward or incorrect phrasing such as 'makes easy many kinds of jobs', 'do people slothful', and 'do lightly videos'.

5.0
GRA

Grammatical Range and Accuracy

A mix of simple and some complex structures appears, but frequent errors in article use, verb forms, and sentence construction, such as 'can be damage human's eyesight', regularly reduce accuracy and clarity.

5.0

What to work on next

Develop each main point into a full explanation with a clear example, and revise the response to remove recurring grammar and word-choice errors.
