Overall assessment

The strongest aspect is the clear, consistent position supported by two relevant reasons, each developed with concrete examples such as visa costs and language barriers in India. The main limitation is the frequent grammatical and lexical inaccuracy, including tense misuse, faulty article use, and awkward phrasing, which regularly strains the reader.

TR

Task Response

The response addresses the task with a clear and consistent agreement position, developing two relevant main ideas with supporting examples, though the arguments remain somewhat simple and under-extended.

6.0
CC

Coherence and Cohesion

Ideas are organised into logical paragraphs and linked with basic connectors such as firstly, furthermore, and therefore, but referencing and mechanical linking are sometimes faulty and progression is occasionally strained.

6.0
LR

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is adequate for the message but limited and often imprecise, with errors such as 'regards of foreign', 'in holidays time', and awkward collocations that reduce fluency and precision.

5.0
GRA

Grammatical Range and Accuracy

A mix of simple and complex structures is attempted, but frequent errors in tense, clause boundaries and verb patterns, such as “I completely agreed”, comma-spliced clauses and “opt destination”, repeatedly affect accuracy and readability.

5.0

What to work on next

Focus on producing accurate basic sentence structures and natural word choices, particularly verb tenses, articles, and prepositions, so the ideas flow without grammatical distraction.
