Overall assessment

The strongest aspect is the clear essay structure, which discusses both views and states a personal opinion at sufficient length. The main limitation is imprecise reasoning and wording, particularly in the introduction and examples, which occasionally obscures the intended message.

TR

Task Response

Both views are addressed and a position is given, but ideas are unevenly developed and the reasoning, such as the confusing claim about being forced to eat anything, only partially supports the opinion.

6.0
CC

Coherence and Cohesion

The response has a recognisable four-paragraph structure with linking devices, though cohesion is often mechanical and progression within paragraphs is at times unclear.

6.0
LR

Lexical Resource

There is an adequate range of vocabulary with some attempts at less common items, but awkward and inaccurate usage, such as 'take shelter of supplements' and 'alot', reduces precision.

6.0
GRA

Grammatical Range and Accuracy

A mix of simple and complex structures is attempted, but frequent errors in agreement, articles, and sentence construction, while generally not blocking meaning, are noticeable and recurring.

6.0

What to work on next

Refine the clarity of the opinion and supporting logic so that each example directly supports the point it illustrates, and eliminate inaccuracies such as contradictory phrasing and spelling slips.
