Well, in my opinion, they don't provide enough concepts about working life, because in schools they focus mainly on academic or entertaining activities. They don't offer information about working life, which is the responsibility of educational institutions like universities. Schools may aim to prepare students for entrance exams to universities or provide behavioral rules, but this doesn't help students grow positively. So, I'm not sure schools prepare young people for working life.

Pronunciation

Your pronunciation is above average. However, you may find complexity in certain words challenging. Regular practice should aid in improvement.

Task Response

The answer is somewhat limited in its scope and depth. While it addresses the question directly, it lacks specific examples and detailed analysis. Consider expanding on the types of skills and knowledge needed for working life and how schools could better incorporate these into their curriculum. A more balanced perspective, acknowledging some aspects of school preparation while highlighting areas for improvement, would strengthen the response.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is understandable, but the delivery is somewhat hesitant and disorganized. There's some repetition and self-correction. Improving the flow and structure would significantly enhance the score. Consider using clearer transitions between ideas and organizing thoughts more logically before speaking.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but lacks precision in places. Words like "concept" are used repeatedly and less precise words could be replaced with more sophisticated alternatives. Expanding vocabulary related to work life and education would be beneficial.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical errors and awkward phrasing. For example, "instead of educational institutions" is incorrectly used. The sentence structure is often simple and repetitive. Focusing on more complex sentence structures and accurate grammar would improve the score. Pay attention to subject-verb agreement and preposition usage.
