In my opinion, the tuition fees are not so reasonable in our country because there are many private colleges. The higher students have to pay about 10 lakh or 13 lakh per year for a course. If we compare it with other countries in Asia, we can see that there is a country in Asia named the Philippines where students have to pay just 8 or 9 lakh for a course. For full tuition, for a full course, that's why I think the tuition fees are reasonable.

Pronunciation

Your pronunciation is average. It is understandable but not always accurate. Focusing on the rhythm and stress patterns of English could prove beneficial.

Task Response

The answer is relevant to the question and presents some valid points of comparison. However, it would benefit from a more structured approach, with a clearer introduction and conclusion. The comparison with the Philippines is useful, but could be strengthened with more specific details or data. The conclusion feels somewhat contradictory. Consider refining the argument and ensuring a consistent viewpoint throughout the response.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is understandable, but there is a slight confusion at the beginning where the speaker mentions "police stations" instead of "tuition fees." The comparison with the Philippines is relevant, but the conclusion is contradictory. The speaker initially states that fees are unreasonable but then concludes they are reasonable. Improving the coherence and clarity of the conclusion would significantly improve the score.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate, but some words are misused (police stations). More precise language would enhance the response. Using synonyms for 'expensive' or 'costly' would add variety.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar contains some errors, such as the incorrect use of "lakh" and the inconsistent use of articles. While the message is mostly clear, improving grammatical accuracy and using a wider range of grammatical structures would improve the score. For example, instead of repeatedly saying 'for a course,' the speaker could use more sophisticated phrasing.
