Overall assessment

The response presents a clear, well-developed position with a balanced concession–rebuttal structure and consistently relevant ideas. Its main limitation is a tendency toward wordy, occasionally unnatural phrasing and a few grammatical slips that slightly blunt precision, though meaning remains clear throughout.

TR

Task Response

The position is clear and consistently maintained, with both acknowledged risks and developed benefits of physical activity supported by relevant explanation, though some points rely on general assertion rather than fuller extension.

CC

Coherence and Cohesion

Ideas progress logically across clear paragraphs with a range of cohesive devices, although a few overlong sentences and loosely linked clauses slightly reduce fluency.

LR

Lexical Resource

There is a good range of topic-related vocabulary used with reasonable precision, but some collocations are strained or unnatural, such as 'hormonic level change' and 'exert negative impact'.

GRA

Grammatical Range and Accuracy

A variety of complex structures are used with generally good control, but a comma splice, article and preposition problems, and an incorrect passive construction reduce grammatical accuracy.

7.0

What to work on next
