Task Response

6.0

The response addresses the question with a relevant position and covers both advantages and disadvantages, but several main ideas are underdeveloped or expressed confusingly, and the response is one word short of the minimum length.

Coherence and Cohesion

6.0

There is a logical overall arrangement with linking devices such as 'Moreover' and 'In conclusion', but progression within paragraphs is weakened by a duplicated sentence and ideas that do not connect smoothly.

Lexical Resource

6.0

The response shows an adequate range of topic-related vocabulary such as 'comfort area' and 'uncertainty', though collocations are occasionally unnatural ('inhabits people to feel safe', 'accepting the beginning problems') and word choice is repetitive at times.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy

6.0

A mix of simple and complex structures is attempted, but frequent errors in sentence construction, including a garbled clause and faulty parallelism, reduce accuracy while meaning remains mostly clear.
