The response addresses the question directly and provides a clear opinion with a reason. To improve, consider expanding on the reasoning and providing more detailed explanations or examples to support your viewpoint. Exploring potential drawbacks or alternative perspectives could also enhance the depth of the answer.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is generally coherent, but there's a slight pause before 'So I think'. To improve, focus on smoother transitions between sentences and ideas. Practice speaking on similar topics to build confidence and reduce hesitation.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but could be more precise. 'Instruments' is not the correct word; 'achievements' is a better fit. 'Weight them so much' is also not idiomatic; 'encourage them' is more appropriate. Expand your vocabulary by reading widely and noting down useful words and phrases in context.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is mostly accurate, but there's a minor error: 'it would weight them so much that they would keep doing that' could be phrased more accurately. 'It would encourage them to keep doing that' is better. Review conditional sentences and practice using a variety of sentence structures to enhance grammatical range.
