These days, city-staking is given that professional sportsmen earn much more money than other people. I personally think that this phenomenon is unfair; however, it's a controversial question. First of all, from my perspective, being a sportsman is absolutely useless for other people, unlike, for instance, the profession of medical workers, whose results of work we can see by the naked eye. So, it's absolutely unimportant for other people and it cannot help others while being a sportsman. Secondly, this profession doesn't boost the economy of the country, so in this aspect, it might also seem to be useless. However, most professional sportsmen have short career spans, which means they can earn money for only about 10 or a maximum of 20 years, making it difficult for them to live.

Pronunciation

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

Task Response

The answer is partially relevant to the question, but it lacks a balanced discussion and in-depth analysis. Consider exploring both sides of the argument more thoroughly, providing examples and supporting evidence for your claims. Focus on the justification of high earnings, rather than solely focusing on the perceived uselessness of the profession. Improving the structure and coherence of the response would also enhance the overall quality.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is understandable and mostly coherent, but there are some fluency issues. The phrase "This day's city-staking is given that..." is unclear and grammatically incorrect. The structure could be improved by using clearer transitions between ideas and avoiding abrupt shifts in thought. More precise language would enhance fluency. For example, instead of "absolutely useless," a more nuanced explanation would be beneficial.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but not particularly sophisticated or precise. Words like "useless" are overused and lack the nuance needed for a higher band score. More precise vocabulary related to economics, social impact, and professional sports would improve the response. The candidate should aim for more specific and impactful word choices.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical errors, including incorrect sentence structure and tense inconsistencies. The phrase "This day's city-staking" is nonsensical. The candidate needs to improve their grammatical accuracy and range. More complex sentence structures and a wider range of grammatical forms would be beneficial. Careful proofreading and editing would significantly improve the grammatical accuracy.
