Well, I don't think so. Admittedly, the prize and awards of each competition are really important because these increase people's engagement and create a more competitive environment. However, the host of the competition should focus on what the participants can learn from these competitions after they engage. Maybe they can develop skills like communication or problem-solving skills. Moreover, they can broaden their horizons and learn more about the culture and the environment. Maybe. Yes.

Task Response

The answer is well-organized and coherent, presenting a clear opinion and supporting it with relevant reasons. Consider expanding on the benefits of competition beyond skill development, such as fostering teamwork or resilience. The concluding statement could be more decisive and impactful.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent and mostly fluent. There are a few minor hesitations and repetitions ("Maybe"), but overall, the ideas flow logically. Improving the pacing and reducing the filler words would enhance fluency.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate and mostly accurate. Words like "engagement" and "broaden their horizons" show good range. However, more precise and sophisticated vocabulary could be used. For example, instead of 'price of price,' the speaker could have said 'the value of the prize' or 'the allure of the prize'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammar is mostly accurate, but there are a few minor errors. For example, "about they can develop" should be "that they can develop" or "how they can develop." The sentence structure is sometimes a bit simple. Using more complex sentence structures and varied grammatical forms would improve the score.
