Task Response

The student provides a clear and direct answer to the question, explaining their reasoning. However, the answer could be more detailed and elaborate on the specific needs that would be unmet by a low-paying job. For example, they could mention things like rent, food, or transportation. The response could be expanded as it currently feels quite brief.

Fluency & Coherence

The student speaks with some fluency, but there is a slight hesitation at the beginning of the answer. The answer is coherent, but could be more elaborate and include more details to support the reasoning.

Lexical Resource

The student uses vocabulary that is appropriate for the topic, but there is room for improvement in terms of range and precision. For example, instead of "maximum my salary", they could use a more sophisticated phrase like "my salary needs to be sufficient" or "my salary needs to meet my basic needs."

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The student demonstrates a good grasp of grammar, but there are some minor errors. For example, the sentence "Because not possible maximum my salary should be sufficient for my basic needs" is grammatically incorrect. The student could improve their grammar by using more complex sentence structures and avoiding grammatical errors.
