I think this is because governments focus on investing in entertainment shows more than any other genre. People are attracted to such shows because they want to relieve stress. For example, a work study or university shows that watching something light on TV makes authorities or companies invest in major ads to promote such shows, as they will gain high profits in return.

Task Response

The answer is relevant to the question and provides a possible reason for the lower popularity of documentaries. However, the explanation could be more developed and nuanced. Consider exploring other factors beyond government investment and audience preference for entertainment. A broader perspective, perhaps including the accessibility and marketing of documentaries, would strengthen the response.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent and mostly fluent. There is some repetition and slightly awkward phrasing ("a work study or university"), but the overall message is clear. Improving sentence structure and reducing redundancy would enhance fluency.

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is adequate but not highly sophisticated. Words like "relieve stress" are simple and functional, but more precise and nuanced vocabulary could be used to demonstrate a wider range. Consider using synonyms for 'shows' and 'invest'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammar is mostly accurate, with only minor errors. The sentence beginning with "For example" is slightly convoluted. More complex grammatical structures and varied sentence lengths would improve the score.
