There is a debate about how children should spend their spare time. While it is argued that they should spend all of their free time with their family, I do believe that it would be more beneficial for children to engage in activities outside the home. On one hand, spending free time at home can strengthen family bonds. Frequent interactions create an intimate atmosphere among family members, which allows children to reveal their emotions and share their daily activities. For instance, describing the issues they face at school or planning for their birthday party. These situations enable parents to be aware of their children's activities, giving them advice to deal with their concerns while providing emotional support through spending quality time together. Children also feel more secure because of their parents' support and benefit from their guidance. Therefore, spending time at home offers a mutual closeness between parents and children, leadsleading to more efficient decision making as well as finding reassurance. However, outdoor activities provide an excellent opportunity for children to improve their social skills. When children allocate their time away from home, they have to communicate with a variety of age groups, requiring appropriate responses. For example, young people will learn how to manage a conflict with their peers when they have disagreements or show good mannermanners while communicating with older people. These social competencies are less likely to become achievable at home as the youngsters only interact with family members. As a result, the young acquire adaptive responseresponses in different situations through spending their free time outside. In conclusion, it is true that allocating spare time at home offers children a safe place to express their concerns; Howeverhowever, it gives them a limited social circle as well. Spending time outside provides obtaining social skills, which is crucial for life. Then, I do agree with the latter opinion.

While we are confident in our score estimation, you are not guaranteed to receive the same score in an official test.

Task Response: You address both views and give a clear opinion. However, the first body paragraph focuses heavily on parental benefits (awareness, advice) rather than the child’s development. Ensure arguments center on the child. The conclusion introduces a new idea ("limited social circle") not fully developed in the body.

Coherence & Cohesion: Paragraphing is logical. Linking words are used (On one hand, However, For instance, As a result), but some are mechanical or faulty ("leads to", "Then, I do agree"). Reference substitution could be improved to avoid repetition ("children," "young people," "youngsters," "the young").

Lexical Resource: Good range (intimate atmosphere, emotional support, social competencies, adaptive response). Errors exist: "when have disagreements" (missing subject), "show good manner" (should be manners), "provides obtaining" (incorrect collocation; use provides opportunities to obtain or facilitates).

Grammatical Range & Accuracy: Mix of simple and complex sentences. Frequent punctuation errors: comma splices ("atmosphere among family members, which allows"), run-on sentences ("Therefore... decision making as well as finding reassurance"), and incorrect semi-colon usage ("concerns; However"). Subject-verb agreement issues ("situations enable" is correct, but "requiring appropriate responses" dangles).

Key Fix: Focus on sentence boundaries (full stops, not commas). Proofread for fragments and dangling participles.
