Can anyone score my SAT essay please?

Topic:

Should people take more responsibilities for solving problems that affect their communities or the nation in general?

My Essay:

Government has no responsibilities to take if there is a personal problem for every individual. However, if it comes to the countries’ communities that affect the entire nation, government should take some serious responsibilities to solve or improve the problem or situations.

In one nation, there can be lots of people as well as a small number of citizens. As all different people has different ideas or opinions, the country can’t take every single one of them.
Generally, government listens to majority group than the minority group, because the government can’t listen to two or more different opposite ideas.
Government’s job is to listen to citizens and make the country better. The responsibilities about the problem that affects the entire nation or national communities should be taken by the government. Government is supposed to work and devote for citizens and a country.

However, if the government doesn’t work well for the country and citizens, should the citizens of a country take the responsibilities that are supposed to be taken by the government and work instead of the government? The answer is no.
If it’s a situation which government can’t work for, citizens can help them by donation some money or cooperating with the government,
However, if it’s a situation that the government just doesn’t work, people in a country shouldn’t take responsibilities since it’s the work that should be done by a government.
If citizens keep taking all the responsibilities and work instead of the government, government will not improve anything and keep staying negligent since citizens do all the work that should be done by them.

Personally speaking, people shouldn’t take anything that should be taken by others. We all vote for the president and others who work in a government to take care of our countries and improve the countries better.
The work which should be done by the citizens is to encourage and support the governments so that they can work harder and better. Not to work instead of them to let them take rests.

So! this is my essay till here and I want you guys to read and score it, because I am trying to score my entire SAT practice test and I just couldn’t score my own essay by myself. It will be really great if any of you can score this essay for me!
Please be honest and tell me if there are anything wrong or not understandable so that I can improve my skills for later!

Thank you so much in advance :slight_smile:

Essay appears off-topic and disjointed. Also, back up your claims!

Thank you so much for your reply! And what do you think the score will be? It will be nice of you if you could tell me. Thanks anyway!

The main problems here are that you make a bunch of claims without really supporting them, and that the sentences are too focused on the government’s roles (as opposed to solving problems at the lower level). There are also some grammatical issues. In general, it’s good to avoid contractions in a formal essay.

I’m not the expert on SAT grading, but I would probably give a 2 or 3 (out of 6).

Thanks a lot for your feedback. I will try to improve them. And also thank you so much for scoring my essay. Hope you have a great day!

Thank you so much for your advice :slight_smile:
