I really agree with this topic because if there is no minimum age, young boys or girls, young children could become addicted to computer games. That's really unhealthy and bad for their health and their eyes. So I think that all computer games should have a minimum age of about ten years old.

Pronunciation

Your pronunciation is above average. However, you may find complexity in certain words challenging. Regular practice should aid in improvement.

Task Response

The answer is relevant to the question and provides a clear opinion. However, it could benefit from a broader discussion of the issue, exploring different perspectives and providing more detailed reasoning. Consider exploring the types of games and the impact of different age ratings. Elaborating on the potential negative consequences beyond addiction and eye strain would also strengthen the response.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent and presents a clear opinion. However, there are noticeable hesitations and repetitions ("um", "agree, agree", "if there is, if there is"). Smoother delivery and reduced filler words would improve fluency.

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is adequate and conveys the message effectively. More sophisticated vocabulary could be used to express the negative effects of gaming addiction (e.g., detrimental, deleterious, detrimental impact).

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are some grammatical inaccuracies ("addicted in concret games"). While the overall message is understandable, more precise grammar is needed for a higher score. The sentence structure could be more varied and complex.
