Actual Score

• Why this response reaches the 3 level
• Ideas and Content (3) The reader can easily
  perceive the writer's purpose and supporting
  details. Although the support is generally
  relevant to the topic, the writer provides many
  details without much depth. The writer also
  struggles when transitioning from broad
  observations to specifics (Most citizens in the
  U.S. are imigrents from foregion contres).
• Organization (3) The writer includes a clear
  introduction and thesis in this piece (My veiw is
  that we should have foregin languag classes), but
  there is no satisfying conclusion. The
  transitions are minimal.
• Voice (3) The writer's commitment to the topic
  is inconsistent. He or she strays from the
  original ideas. There is some sense of the writer
  behind the words and some indication that the
  writer is aware of an audience (Think that it
  might never happen?).
• Word Choice (3) The language in this piece is
  ordinary. It lacks color and variety. The writer
  includes some slightly more sophisticated
  vocabulary words (sanario for scenario, imigrents
  for immigrants), but there is little attempt at
  imagery.
• Sentence Fluency (3) The writing tends to be
  choppy and mechanical rather than fluid. There is
  little variety in sentence structure and there
  are few transitions.
• Conventions (2) The errors in this piece,
  particularly the spelling errors, begin to impede
  the readers understanding of the text. The
  writer does an adequate job with
  beginning-of-sentence capitalization and
  end-of-sentence punctuation, in addition to usage
  and grammar.
• Suggestions for improvement
• This piece would benefit from editing,
  particularly for spelling.
• This piece would also benefit from a clear
  introduction and a satisfying conclusion.
