Task Response

This is an excellent response that fully addresses the question. Consider exploring the motivations further by adding examples of specific volunteer activities and their associated benefits. This would add depth and richness to your answer.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent and well-structured. There is a slight hesitation and unnatural phrasing in the second sentence ("But some people think that volunteering... a feeling of satisfaction on doing it."). Smoother transitions and more natural phrasing would improve fluency.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate and mostly accurate. Words like "give back" and "broaden their network" show good range. However, the phrase "a feeling of satisfaction on doing it" is slightly awkward. Using "a feeling of satisfaction from doing it" or "the satisfaction of doing it" would be more precise and natural.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is mostly correct, but there are a few minor errors. The sentence "Some people do it because they feel like they have the needs to give back to the community because of what they have earned" is grammatically awkward and contains unnecessary words. The phrase "a feeling of satisfaction on doing it" is also grammatically incorrect. More precise grammatical structures and attention to prepositions would improve the score.
