Even though recently I've been very successful and know many well-known people who did not achieve a higher education level, like an undergraduate certificate, I think it's something we need to consider a fundamental right. The vast opportunities we obtain once we have an official degree show that we are proficient in different activities and specific topics to develop as professionals. Having access to higher education is not in the constitution, but we have the ability and opportunity to be part of a public school system that will teach us everything we need to pursue a higher-level career. So, I don't know how fundamental it should be, but right now I'm aware that there are different opportunities that a person can seek to reach this higher education level.

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 a more direct and clear stance on the extent to which higher education should be a fundamental right. While acknowledging the opportunities higher education provides, the answer seems hesitant and lacks a strong, well-supported argument. To improve, focus on presenting a more decisive opinion and providing concrete reasons or examples to support your viewpoint. Additionally, avoid starting with personal anecdotes and focus on broader societal implications.

Fluency & Coherence

The response demonstrates some coherence, but there are instances of hesitation and reformulation that affect the flow. The organization of ideas could be clearer. For example, the connection between successful people without higher education and the need for it as a fundamental right isn't immediately obvious. To improve, try to structure your answer with a clear thesis statement, supporting arguments, and a conclusion. Practice using discourse markers (e.g., 'furthermore,' 'however,' 'therefore') to link your ideas more smoothly.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but lacks precision and variety. There are some inaccuracies in word choice ('higher employee field track'). To enhance your lexical resource, focus on learning synonyms and collocations related to education and rights. Pay attention to using vocabulary accurately in context. For example, instead of 'higher employee field track,' you could say 'higher-level career path' or 'more advanced professional field.'

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The response contains grammatical errors that sometimes impede understanding. Examples include incorrect article usage ('a undergraduate certificate'), awkward phrasing ('tells us we are proficient'), and sentence structure issues. To improve, focus on mastering basic grammar rules and sentence structures. Practice speaking on a variety of topics to become more comfortable with different grammatical forms. Consider recording yourself and analyzing your errors.
