No, I don't think so. Well, in my point of view, people who are ambitious about their lives set goals for themselves because they want to shine in life. Not only that, but they also want to achieve something in their lives, so they can set goals and work hard according to those goals. On the other hand, most people around the world go with the flow and live life as it happens. I firmly believe that what we plan and what actually happens to us is completely different. For this reason, I think many people around the world don't set goals for themselves.

Task Response

The answer adequately addresses the question and presents a clear opinion. Consider exploring the concept of goal-setting more broadly, perhaps by mentioning different types of goals or the impact of societal factors on goal-setting. Expanding on the reasons why some people don't set goals would further strengthen the response.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent and well-structured. There is a slight hesitation and repetition ('Not only that, but also they want...'), but overall the flow is smooth and easy to follow. Minor improvements in sentence structure would enhance fluency.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate and mostly accurate. Words like "ambitious" and "achieve" show a good range. However, more precise and sophisticated vocabulary could be used to express ideas more effectively. For example, instead of 'go with the flow,' a more nuanced phrase could be used.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammar is mostly accurate, but there are a few minor errors. For example, the sentence 'So, for this reason I think many people around the world doesn't set goals for themselves' has a subject-verb agreement error. More complex grammatical structures could be incorporated to improve the score.
