Task Response

The answer is well-organized and coherent, directly addressing the question's prompt. Consider providing specific examples to illustrate the points about uneven participation and differing opinions/working styles for a more detailed and impactful response.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent and mostly fluent. However, there are a few minor issues with fluency. The phrase "live in order to do much of work" is unclear and disrupts the flow. The word choice of "bloodthirsty" is inappropriate and jarring in this context. Focus on smoother transitions and precise word choices to improve fluency.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate, but some words are misused or inappropriately chosen. "Robust" is incorrectly used instead of "drawback." "Disarrayment" is less common and less precise than "disarray." "Bloodthirsty" is completely out of place. Expanding vocabulary and ensuring precise word choice will improve this score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are some grammatical errors. The sentence structure is sometimes awkward. For example, "Someone member" should be "Some members." The sentence "They can show down progress and cause bloodthirsty" is grammatically incorrect and nonsensical. Improving grammatical accuracy and sentence structure will significantly improve the score.
