Overall assessment

The response addresses all parts of the task, discussing both views and stating a clear personal position supported by basic reasons such as repaying state-funded education and a possible fixed service period. Its main limitation is simple, formulaic language and underdeveloped argumentation, with ideas stated rather than fully extended.

TR

Task Response

Both perspectives are addressed and a clear opinion is presented with a relevant proposal, though ideas are supported only at a basic level and development remains somewhat thin.

6.5
CC

Coherence and Cohesion

The essay follows a recognizable four-paragraph structure with linking devices such as 'as a result' and 'on the other hand', but progression is sometimes mechanical and connections between ideas are loosely managed.

6.0
LR

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is adequate for the topic with some appropriate items like 'talented graduates' and 'obligation', but range is limited and phrasing is often simple or slightly awkward.

6.0
GRA

Grammatical Range and Accuracy

A mix of simple and complex structures is attempted, but errors such as run-on sentences and faulty clause combination ('then after many years studying... it is a good idea') recur, though meaning is generally clear.

6.0

What to work on next

Develop each main idea further with deeper explanation and concrete, specific examples while varying sentence structures more naturally.
