Extracurricular activities should be taught at school. That would be great. I think teachers would educate young people in teamwork skills and leadership skills. Teachers improve children's critical thinking and creativity. Especially, I think teachers should teach the younger generation to use money and save their money. If teachers educate these methods, the younger generation in the future would reduce the number of poor citizens. However, on the other hand, this method demands extra funding because schools need additional staff and extra teachers. So, the government needs to provide extra funding and extra salaries. This is just my perspective. But this also demands more time and more money.

Extra curriculum activities should be tough at school. That would be great. I think teachers would teach young people to educate young people, to team-working skills and leadership skills. Teachers improve children’s critical thinking and creativity. Especially, I think teachers should teach young generation to use money and save their money. If teachers educate these methods, young generation in the future would reduce poorly citizens. However, on the other hand, this method demands extra finance because schools give extra masters and extra teachers. So, that government gives extra finance and extra salary. This is just my side. But this demand in addition, this demand more time and more money.

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 response adequately addresses the topic, providing arguments in favor of integrating extracurricular activities into the school curriculum. However, the answer lacks depth and specific examples to fully support the claims. Elaborating on the benefits of teamwork, leadership, critical thinking, and financial literacy with concrete examples would strengthen the response. The discussion of funding needs is relevant but could be further developed by exploring potential solutions or alternative approaches. The response could be expanded as it currently feels quite brief.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent and mostly fluent. There is some repetition and self-correction, particularly towards the end. Improving the flow of ideas by using smoother transitions would enhance fluency. For example, instead of 'However, on the other hand', consider using 'Conversely' or 'On the other hand,'

5.5

The vocabulary is adequate but not highly sophisticated. Words like 'educate' are used repeatedly. Using more precise and varied vocabulary, such as 'cultivate,' 'foster,' or 'nurture' instead of repeatedly using 'educate' would improve the score. The phrase 'reduce poorly citizens' is not quite accurate; consider 'reduce the number of impoverished citizens' or 'reduce poverty among young people' Pay attention to vocabulary repetition to improve the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical errors, such as 'Extra curriculum activities should be tough at school' and 'this method demands extra finance because schools give extra masters and extra teachers'. While the meaning is generally clear, improving grammatical accuracy is crucial. Focus on subject-verb agreement and correct preposition usage. Consider using more complex grammatical structures to demonstrate a wider range.
