Overall assessment

The response addresses both views clearly and offers a stated personal opinion, with a consistent four-paragraph structure and logical linking of ideas. Its main limitation is the somewhat generic, formulaic development of ideas and recurring grammatical and word-choice errors that occasionally reduce precision.

TR

Task Response

Both views are discussed and a clear personal opinion is reached in the conclusion, though the supporting ideas remain somewhat general and formulaic in development.

7.0
CC

Coherence and Cohesion

Ideas progress logically across well-organised paragraphs with effective use of connectors, although cohesion is at times mechanical and formula-driven.

7.0
LR

Lexical Resource

There is an adequate range of vocabulary with some attempts at less common expressions, but awkward combinations such as 'fixed job', 'cause of believing this' and 'tension of future' limit precision.

6.0
GRA

Grammatical Range and Accuracy

A mix of simple and complex sentence structures is used, but a sentence fragment beginning with 'While', a comma splice in the introduction and repeated missing articles reduce accuracy.

6.0

What to work on next

Develop each main idea with more specific, concrete explanation or examples instead of relying on formulaic phrasing, and proofread for missing articles and incomplete or incorrectly joined sentences.
