Task Response

6.0

The question is addressed with a relevant position and several reasons (knowledge, career preparation, certificates, social tradition), but ideas are often repeated rather than fully extended or exemplified.

Coherence and Cohesion

6.0

Progression is broadly clear with paragraphing present, but heavy repetition, formulaic transitions such as repeated 'I would like to elaborate', and loosely linked sentences make cohesion mechanical.

Lexical Resource

6.0

There is adequate range of topic-related vocabulary (self-actualization, career path, niche segment), but awkward and inaccurate collocations like 'refer to attend', 'mould our future for betterment', and 'interest is a subject' reduce precision.

6.0

A mix of simple and complex structures is attempted, yet errors are frequent, including 'people scatters', 'who has different ambitions', and 'thrive to achieve', though meaning is mostly still clear.
