Overall assessment

The response presents a clear and consistent disagreement with the prompt, supported by relevant ideas about extracurricular growth and teacher guidance. Its main limitation is recurring grammatical and collocational inaccuracy, along with occasionally informal or mechanical transitions, which keeps the language from being fully precise.

TR

Task Response

The response maintains a clear disagreement and gives relevant reasons about extracurricular activities and teacher guidance. However, the artist example does not establish that schools are indispensable, and management-school recruitment is not clearly linked to school-age children. These gaps limit the development and relevance of the support.

7.0
CC

Coherence and Cohesion

Ideas are organised logically across clear paragraphs, but cohesion is sometimes mechanical and transitions are formulaic, with occasional strained links between statements.

6.0
LR

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is adequate for the task with some attempts at less common items, but several collocations are inaccurate or unnatural, reducing precision at times.

6.0
GRA

Grammatical Range and Accuracy

A mix of structures is attempted, including complex sentences, but frequent errors in verb forms, articles, and clause construction occasionally impede clarity.

6.0

What to work on next

Revise subject–verb agreement, passive forms and clause structure, especially 'one ... have', 'will deprive of' and the conclusion. Then connect each example directly to why children need schools rather than access to information alone.
