Pronunciation

Your pronunciation is quite good. Working on consistency and tackling difficult sounds may enhance clarity.

Task Response

The response addresses the question but could benefit from further development and clarity. Providing specific examples and elaborating on the types of skills employers seek would strengthen the argument. Additionally, exploring counterarguments or alternative perspectives could enhance the depth of the response.

Fluency & Coherence

The response is generally coherent, but there are some hesitations and reformulations ('compromising about their degree' should be 'compromising on their degrees'). The use of 'because' multiple times at the beginning of clauses makes the response sound a bit repetitive. Try to vary sentence structure and use cohesive devices more effectively to improve flow.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but not particularly sophisticated. Words like 'random degrees' and 'general or something' are vague. Using more precise and varied vocabulary would enhance the response. For example, instead of 'random degrees,' you could say 'generic academic qualifications.'

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are some grammatical errors, such as 'skill developing' instead of 'skill development.' The sentence structure is relatively simple. Aim to use a wider range of grammatical structures and ensure accuracy in verb tenses and noun forms. For example, use more complex sentences with subordinate clauses to express your ideas more precisely.
