Well, in my opinion, the tuition costs in our country's colleges are not reasonable because there are some private colleges where the cost of certain courses is higher than in other countries. For example, private colleges like IIT, which offers one of the famous courses, costs about 13 lakh in our country, while it is just 10 lakh in private colleges in the Philippines. That's why I think the tuition fees in our country are not reasonable.

Task Response

The answer is relevant to the question and provides a clear opinion. However, it mainly focuses on a comparison with another country, rather than a broader discussion of the reasonableness of tuition fees within the student's own country. Consider expanding on factors contributing to the cost of tuition in your own country and exploring different perspectives on what constitutes 'reasonable' fees. More general examples would strengthen the response.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent and mostly fluent. Minor improvements could be made by pausing slightly more between sentences to enhance clarity and pacing. The structure is logical and easy to follow.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate and mostly accurate. Using more precise language, such as 'prohibitively expensive' instead of 'not reasonable,' would elevate the response. The use of 'lakh' is appropriate given the context, but a brief explanation might be helpful for a wider audience.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammar is mostly accurate, with only minor errors. The sentence 'the cost of some courses are more than other countries' is grammatically incorrect; it should be 'the cost of some courses is higher than in other countries.' More complex grammatical structures could be incorporated to demonstrate a wider range.
