I don't think that much. Talent is a gift that doesn't necessarily make you a better player than others. I think hard work and cooperative skills are more crucial in sports because you have to train hard and give your all in competitions. You can't just rely on your talent. You need experience and to give your sweat and tears in the things you do.

Task Response

The answer is relevant to the question and provides a clear opinion. However, it mainly focuses on personal experience and lacks the general perspective needed for a higher score. Consider exploring the role of talent in a broader context, discussing its interaction with hard work and other factors, and providing more balanced arguments.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent and mostly fluent. Minor repetition and self-correction could be improved for greater fluency. Consider pausing slightly more between ideas for better pacing and clarity.

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is adequate and mostly accurate. Phrases like "give your fullest" could be replaced with more precise language such as "give your best" or "perform to your full potential." The phrase "give what's wet and tears" is not quite correct; consider replacing it with a more idiomatic expression like "sweat and tears" or "dedication and perseverance".

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammar is mostly accurate, but there are some minor errors. For example, "don't just rely on your talent that you're good at something" is grammatically awkward. Consider revising this to something like "You can't simply rely on inherent talent." The sentence structure could be improved for greater grammatical range and accuracy.
