I think I agree with the opinion that sportspeople are paid too much money because we have other professionals who need to be paid more than sportspeople. I think sportspeople achieve a lot, but there are people who need more money than those in sports. I think sportspeople who participate in science need more money because I know a lot of people who work in sports and are paid a lot. I don't know how to express that the money is not just for them based on their achievements. I agree that sportspeople are paid too much money. They don't only affect sports. I think people need to consider not just sports because the government needs to improve other types of industries, not just sports.

Pronunciation

5.5

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 somewhat repetitive and lacks a clear, well-developed discussion. Consider structuring your response with a clear introduction, body paragraphs, and conclusion. Focus on providing more specific examples and supporting arguments to strengthen your points. Avoid unnecessary repetition and work on improving the clarity and coherence of your ideas.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is understandable, but the ideas are not always expressed smoothly. There is some repetition and self-correction. Improving the flow of ideas and reducing repetition would enhance fluency. Consider using more sophisticated linking words and phrases to connect your ideas more effectively.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but lacks precision in places. The phrasing is sometimes awkward. Using more precise and sophisticated vocabulary would improve the score. For example, instead of 'sportsmen people,' use 'sportspeople' or 'athletes.' Instead of 'have an effect on sports only,' consider 'have a limited impact on society' or 'their contribution is not limited to sports.'

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical errors, including incorrect word order and tense inconsistencies. While the message is generally clear, improving grammatical accuracy is crucial. Focus on subject-verb agreement, correct use of articles, and consistent tense usage. Practice using a wider range of grammatical structures.
