Overall assessment

The response directly answers both parts of the question with a clear position, well-chosen reasons, and relevant examples such as cyberchondria. Its strongest aspect is the sustained, logical argument supported by appropriate vocabulary, while the main limitation is occasional redundancy, with ideas like unreliability of online information repeated rather than further developed.

TR

Task Response

The response addresses both questions fully, states a clear and consistent position, and develops the reasons and dangers with relevant examples, though some points are repeated rather than extended.

7.0
CC

Coherence and Cohesion

Ideas progress logically across clear paragraphs with effective linking devices, although some repetition of the same idea slightly weakens the sense of development.

7.0
LR

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is flexible and topic-appropriate, including misdiagnosis, cyberchondria and stigma. Some phrasing is repetitive or awkward, especially “the excessive searching of health-related topics”, but the intended argument remains clear.

7.0
GRA

Grammatical Range and Accuracy

A wide range of complex structures is used with generally good control, and errors such as the occasionally awkward relative clause do not impede communication.

7.0

What to work on next

Trim repetitive points, particularly on unreliable online information, and use the space to extend the explanation or examples instead.
