Overall assessment

Why this response received Band 6.5

The response addresses both questions clearly, using relevant reasons and examples to explain the attraction of English-medium study and the language’s international role. Its main limitation is frequent imprecise or unnatural phrasing, alongside recurring article, preposition, and sentence-structure errors. The highest priority is to express each idea in more natural collocations and check grammatical accuracy without losing the existing logical progression.
