Yes, there is a big difference between the way technology has evolved now compared to the past. In the past, technology was mainly a driving force in development and infrastructure, while now it is a common narrative and a phenomenon that everyone enjoys. You can have any technology at your disposal, and it is great that everyone can benefit from it. Back in the day, it was not as progressive, and it took a lot of time to deliver the benefits of technology to common people. Now, even a new discovery is quickly made available to the public.

Pronunciation

Your pronunciation is quite good. Working on consistency and tackling difficult sounds may enhance clarity.

Task Response

The answer adequately addresses the question by comparing past and present technological progress. However, more specific examples and a deeper analysis of the differences (e.g., speed of innovation, accessibility, impact on daily life) would strengthen the response.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent and mostly fluent. There is some repetition and slightly hesitant phrasing ("Right now you can have any technology at your disposal and it is a great thing that everyone can enjoy"). Improving the flow by using more sophisticated linking words and avoiding repetition would enhance fluency.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate and mostly accurate. Words like "phenomenon" and "progressive" show a good range. However, more precise and sophisticated vocabulary could be used to express the nuances of technological advancement. For example, instead of 'common narrative,' a more precise term could be used, such as 'ubiquitous' or 'pervasive'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammar is mostly accurate, but there are some minor errors and slightly informal phrasing ("back in the days"). More complex grammatical structures could be used to express ideas more precisely and concisely. For example, instead of two separate sentences, "Back in the days, it was not that progressive and at the same time it took a lot of time back in the days to give the benefits of technology to common people." A more concise and grammatically sophisticated sentence could be used, such as "In the past, technological progress was slower and its benefits were less accessible to the general population."

Is it popular for people in your country to drink alcohol?

Besides that, drinking alcohol is a part of business culture in Vietnam. However, in the past, females couldn’t drink beer […]

what food do you eat on special occasions?

On special occasions, my family usually prepare those traditional dishes, especially plow, manté and some stuff. We tend to cook larger portions because these events are often a chance to whole family to get together.

Do you think older people find it difficult to adapt to new modern technologies?

Yes, it is quite difficult for older people to get used to the modern technologies, but they can get used to it. I have seen many old people doing advanced stuff on their personal computers and their phones, which I don’t think can be said as not to be done by these people. If one […]
