Task Response

The answer is relevant to the question and provides some valid reasons why people find it hard to make decisions. However, it could be improved by elaborating on the reasons provided and offering more specific examples. The conclusion is somewhat weak and doesn't add much to the overall response. Consider exploring the reasons in more depth and providing a more conclusive summary.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is understandable and mostly coherent. However, there's a slight lack of fluency towards the end, with the sentence trailing off. Improving the conclusion would enhance the score. Consider adding a summarizing sentence.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is adequate and mostly accurate. Words like "tolerate" and "responsibilities" show a good range. However, more precise vocabulary could be used to express the uncertainty about the future. For example, instead of 'good or not', consider 'positive or negative outcomes'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is mostly correct, but there are a few minor errors. The sentence 'some of them have a fear from the future' is grammatically incorrect; it should be 'a fear of the future'. The incomplete sentence at the end needs to be completed or removed. Using more complex sentence structures would improve the score.
