The response presents a position on the issue but the development of that position is seriously flawed.

The writer begins by disagreeing with the assertion that "specialists...are highly over-rated" and then attempts to define and contrast specialists and generalists. The attempt is unsuccessful, partly because the descriptions are vague and ill-conceived.

Whereas the example of going to a "general practitioner doctor" is certainly relevant, the writer’s claim that a general practitioner would tell a patient with chest pains that the problem "may be heart burns or something else that’s not so serious" seems far-fetched.

The response is further weakened by poor word choice and by numerous errors in sentence structure, usage, and grammar. These problems, while not severe enough to seriously interfere with meaning, contribute to the overall rating of "2."
