Task Response

The answer is relevant to the question and provides a clear comparison between the internet usage of older and younger people. To improve, consider providing more specific examples of internet activities for both groups and exploring other differences beyond entertainment and news consumption. Expanding on the reasons behind these differences would also strengthen the response.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent and mostly fluent. Minor repetition and slightly hesitant phrasing ('such as getting news about weather forecast or daily news') could be improved with more concise wording. A more developed comparison between the two groups would enhance the response.

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is adequate and appropriate for the task. More precise and sophisticated vocabulary could be used to describe the differences in internet usage. For example, instead of 'entertainment way,' consider 'leisure activities' or 'recreational purposes'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammar is mostly accurate, with only minor errors. The sentence 'all people would surf on the internet to use on several things' is slightly awkward. Improving sentence structure and using a wider range of grammatical structures would improve the score.
