The response is a good start, addressing the advantages of always being busy. However, to achieve a higher score, it needs to explore the disadvantages, and fully address the remaining parts of the question. Consider expanding on the other aspects of the question, such as the advantages and disadvantages of stressful jobs, and time management strategies of highly efficient people. Including a brief personal reflection on your own time management would also strengthen the response.

The answer is coherent and well-structured. The ideas flow logically. Minor improvements could be made by using smoother transitions between ideas and avoiding slight repetitions (e.g., 'So the next advantage can be also organized').

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is appropriate and accurate. Words like 'development,' 'organized,' and 'strict schedules' demonstrate a good range. More sophisticated vocabulary could be incorporated to enhance the response.

Grammar is mostly accurate. There are a few minor grammatical errors, such as 'it makes them to plan' which should be 'it makes them plan' or 'it helps them to plan'. The use of grammatical structures is adequate but could be more varied and complex for a higher band score.
