In order to be a professional chef, the essential skills that should be inculcated in a person are devotion and interest in the occupation. These are the two key things that make the occupation enjoyable and help you fall in love with your profession. I see there are many people who cook food but with a very bizarre attitude, which makes the food not delicious at all.

The response addresses the question directly and provides relevant information. To further enhance the answer, consider including a wider range of skills beyond devotion and interest, such as technical cooking skills, creativity, or management abilities. Providing specific examples could also strengthen the response.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is generally coherent, but there are some slight hesitations and reformulations. The ideas are connected, but the flow could be smoother. Try to minimize pauses and self-corrections. Using discourse markers more effectively could also improve coherence.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate, with some good words like 'inculcated' and 'bizarre.' However, the range could be broader and more precise. Consider using synonyms and more specific terms to enhance the richness of your vocabulary.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is mostly accurate, but there are some errors, such as 'the essential skill that should be inculcated in a person should be' (redundant) and 'makes you in love with your profession.' While the range of structures is present, accuracy needs improvement. Focus on subject-verb agreement and correct use of prepositions.
