Overall assessment

Why this response received Band 6.0

The response presents both perspectives and maintains a generally identifiable preference, with paragraphing that makes the broad structure easy to follow. Its main limitation is that several arguments drift from job continuity into local-company policy, while frequent awkward collocations and grammatical fragments weaken precision. The highest priority is to develop directly relevant benefits for workers, employers, and society through clearly formed sentences and concrete causal explanation.
