Overall assessment

Why this response received Band 6.0

The response maintains a clear position and gives relevant reasons linking exit interviews to employee satisfaction and business performance. Its main weakness is that the argument remains somewhat repetitive and is presented as one long paragraph, while recurring grammatical and collocational errors reduce precision. The highest priority is to organise the two main ideas into distinct, fully developed paragraphs and edit sentence structures and word combinations for accuracy.
