Puntuación: 5.0Sugerencia: Give your opinion directly and support it with a specific reason or example. Avoid turning the examiner’s question into another question.

In a present simple question, use the auxiliary do before the subject you. The original sentence omits do, so its word order is incorrect for a standard question. The first student response is grammatically correct, so it is not included.
