From my perspective, nowadays the young generation does not take their parents' advice on choosing a major for their future career. The previous generation, as parents, often chose stable fields such as accounting or banking. However, thanks to the development of economic goals and global career opportunities, the young generation now has more ability and chances to pursue creative work, such as design, marketing, or even art. Therefore, most students today want to choose their major on their own.

Task Response

The response addresses the question directly and provides a clear perspective. The answer is well-organized and includes relevant examples to support the viewpoint. To further enhance the response, consider exploring the nuances of the topic by acknowledging potential exceptions or providing a more in-depth analysis of the factors influencing young people's decisions.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is generally coherent, but there are some pauses and hesitations that affect the fluency. The organization of ideas is clear, but could be smoother with better use of cohesive devices. For example, using transitions like 'In contrast' or 'Furthermore' could enhance the flow. Try to minimize pauses and speak at a consistent pace.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but could be more precise and varied. The phrase 'all the jazz' is a bit informal and vague. Using more specific and sophisticated vocabulary related to career choices and generational differences would improve the score. For example, instead of 'stable such as accounting or banking,' you could say 'traditional fields such as accounting or finance.'

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical errors, such as 'came on their try' and 'there are almost of the students.' These errors impact the clarity of the response. Focus on using correct verb tenses, articles, and prepositions. Practice constructing more complex sentences accurately to demonstrate a wider range of grammatical structures.
