Right now, our education system is really poor, in my opinion, because we are very dependent on theoretical study that just helps us pass exams. However, if you want to land a job in the real world, you should actually study practically. This will help you understand how things really work and will make you much more creative, building up problem-solving skills, which are really required. So, I think our education system should focus on practical activities more than just relying on theoretical knowledge.

Task Response

The response addresses the question directly and provides a clear opinion on how educational systems can improve. The answer suggests a shift towards practical learning to better equip students with problem-solving skills. To further enhance the response, consider providing specific examples of practical activities or elaborating on how theoretical knowledge can be integrated with practical application.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is generally coherent, but there are some hesitations and minor self-corrections. The ideas are presented logically, but the flow could be smoother. To improve, practice speaking more fluently on similar topics and use cohesive devices more effectively to link ideas.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but not particularly sophisticated. The candidate uses words like 'theoretical,' 'practical,' and 'problem-solving,' which are relevant. However, the range could be broader. To enhance lexical resource, try to incorporate more specific and nuanced vocabulary related to education and the workplace.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is mostly accurate, but there are some errors, such as subject-verb agreement ('we are very depending') and awkward phrasing ('helps you to become much more creative'). The range of structures is somewhat limited. To improve, focus on using a wider variety of grammatical structures accurately and pay attention to subject-verb agreement and correct tense usage.
