I don't think that the tuition fees in our country's colleges are reasonable because there are many private colleges. Higher tuition fees are higher compared to other countries in Asia. For example, private colleges and metropolitan colleges in our hometown charge five lakhs per year. On the other hand, some charge two lakhs for the whole year. That's why I think that the tuition fees in our country are excessive.

Task Response

The answer is mostly on topic and addresses the question directly. The response provides relevant information regarding tuition fees in the student's country, comparing costs between private and public institutions and making a clear judgment. However, expanding on the reasons why the fees are considered 'excessive' and providing a broader comparison with other countries, not just those in Asia, would strengthen the response and enhance its overall impact.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is understandable, but the delivery is somewhat hesitant and disjointed. There's some repetition and self-correction. Improving the flow and reducing filler words would enhance fluency. A clearer conclusion would also improve coherence.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but not particularly sophisticated. Words like "excessive" could replace less precise terms like "higher." More precise language would improve the score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical errors, including incorrect use of articles and prepositions. The sentence structure is sometimes awkward. Focusing on accurate grammar and sentence construction is crucial for improvement. For example, "Higher tuition fees is higher" should be "Tuition fees are higher." The phrase "five lakhs for per year" is grammatically incorrect and should be "five lakhs per year."
