Overall assessment

The response addresses both parts of the task, offering several plausible reasons for participating in dangerous sports and some practical safety suggestions, supported by a relevant example. However, the ideas remain thinly developed, the response is 30 words below the required length, and frequent grammatical and word-choice errors often strain communication.

TR

Task Response

The response addresses both questions with relevant reasons (adventure-seeking, ambition, self-defence skills, money, publicity) and appropriate suggestions, but ideas are only partially developed, the Mary Kom example is brief, and the response falls short of the 250-word minimum.

5.5
CC

Coherence and Cohesion

There is a visible overall structure with linking phrases and a conclusion, but progression is often mechanical, paragraphs are unevenly developed, and some statements (e.g. about profit and publicity) lack connected explanation.

5.0
LR

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is adequate for the topic with some attempted range (ambitious, publicity, regulation), but word-choice errors such as 'Montery problem', 'how to defined themselves', and 'awareness of dangerous' and inconsistent collocation limit precision and flexibility.

5.0
GRA

Grammatical Range and Accuracy

A mix of simple and complex structures is attempted, but frequent errors in verb forms, articles, agreement, and sentence construction ('she injured so many time', 'Government also implement', 'help to people handle it') regularly reduce accuracy and clarity.

5.0

What to work on next

Write at least 250 words by developing each main idea with fuller explanation and specific support, and proofread to fix recurring subject-verb and article errors.
