Overall assessment

The response presents a clear opinion with a logical three-reason structure and sufficient length, which is its strongest aspect. The main limitation is that the opposing view is acknowledged but never genuinely developed, and recurring grammatical and word-choice errors weaken precision throughout.

TR

Task Response

The position is clearly stated and supported with three developed reasons and an example, but the view favouring lifelong employment in one organisation is only mentioned and never genuinely examined, leaving the discussion uneven.

6.0
CC

Coherence and Cohesion

There is a clear overall progression with paragraph-level organisation and linking devices, though cohesion is somewhat mechanical and reliant on repeated connectors such as 'therefore' and 'thus'.

6.0
LR

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is adequate for the topic with some attempts at less common items like 'monotonous' and 'diverse', but imprecise collocations such as 'build confidence with' and 'marketing people' recur.

6.0
GRA

Grammatical Range and Accuracy

A mix of simple and complex structures is attempted, but frequent errors, including 'we need to give us the opportunity', 'we need to familiar with', and inconsistent plurals, reduce accuracy and at times obscure meaning.

5.5

What to work on next

Devote a full paragraph to fairly explaining why some people stay with one organisation before refuting it, and proofread for persistent grammar patterns such as missing verbs and incorrect plural forms.
