Overall assessment

The response presents a clear position and follows a logical pro-con structure with some relevant examples, showing reasonably flexible language. Its main limitations are underdeveloped argumentation in the second body paragraph and a length that falls short of the expected minimum.

TR

Task Response

The essay addresses the question and states a clear position in the conclusion, but the ideas are developed only partially and the response falls 27 words short of the minimum length.

6.0
CC

Coherence and Cohesion

Progression is broadly clear with appropriate paragraphing and linking devices, though some connections are mechanical and the counter-argument is loosely expanded.

6.0
LR

Lexical Resource

There is adequate lexical range for the topic, with some attempts at less common vocabulary, but occasional awkward or inaccurate phrasing such as 'cultural whereabouts' reduces precision.

6.0
GRA

Grammatical Range and Accuracy

A mix of simple and complex sentence forms is used with reasonable accuracy, though errors like 'than there own' and 'reservations to discuss about' recur without impeding meaning.

6.0

What to work on next

Develop both body paragraphs more fully with deeper explanation and examples so the essay reaches the required length and supports the position convincingly.
