The answer is partially relevant to the question, but it mainly focuses on personal opinions and experiences. To improve, address the question more generally, exploring broader reasons for the popularity of competition shows beyond personal entertainment and learning. Consider discussing aspects like vicarious experience, aspirational elements, and the dramatic narrative structure often employed in these shows.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate and mostly accurate. While the speaker uses words like "unguided" and "let their hair down," more precise and sophisticated vocabulary could elevate the response. Consider using synonyms for 'popular' to demonstrate a wider range.

There are some grammatical inaccuracies, such as "from which have many people" and the use of "these type of shows." While the overall message is clear, improving grammatical accuracy and using more complex sentence structures would improve the score. Focus on subject-verb agreement and article usage.
