Overall assessment

The response addresses both parts of the task and organises reasons and research methods into clear paragraphs, which is its strongest aspect. The main limitation is the thin, underdeveloped support for each idea and recurring grammatical and word-form errors that reduce precision throughout.

TR

Task Response

Both questions are addressed with a relevant set of reasons and research methods, but the ideas are listed rather than fully developed and supporting detail remains thin.

6.0
CC

Coherence and Cohesion

Paragraphing is logical and progression is broadly clear, though some linking and pronoun referencing are imprecise and transitions feel mechanical at times.

6.0
LR

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is adequate for the topic with some appropriate phrases, but word-form errors such as 'multitude of reasons' and spelling slips like 'burried' limit precision.

6.0
GRA

Grammatical Range and Accuracy

A mix of simple and complex structures is attempted, yet frequent errors in articles, agreement, and relative clauses reduce accuracy and occasionally obscure meaning.

6.0

What to work on next

Develop each reason with more specific explanation or examples and proofread carefully for article use, word forms, and verb agreement.
