As far as I'm concerned, I would say that adverts are useful for people. If the authors of ads understand what people really want and in which areas people are interested, then the ad would be really helpful and useful to know different characteristics of the product. Nonetheless, for me, AdWords aren't useful at all. To be honest, I don't watch AdWords. I think they are not really helpful. For me, it's more important to see a product in a store or ask other professionals to understand what this product really is.

Pronunciation

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

Task Response

The response addresses the question but includes some personal opinions, which reduces the generality expected in Part 3. To improve, focus on providing more general reasons why advertisements can be useful for people, beyond personal preferences. Consider discussing the informational value, economic impact, or social influence of advertising.

Fluency & Coherence

The response is generally coherent, but there are some instances of repetition ('helpful and useful'). The structure is clear, presenting both sides of the argument. To improve, try to vary your sentence structure and use more sophisticated linking words to connect your ideas more smoothly.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate, but there's room for improvement. Using more precise and varied vocabulary could enhance the response. For example, instead of 'helpful and useful,' consider using synonyms or more specific terms related to the benefits of advertising. Also, be careful about using the correct word, such as 'adverts' instead of 'AdWords' when referring to advertisements in general.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is mostly accurate, with only minor errors. The range of structures is good. To achieve a higher score, focus on consistently using more complex sentence structures and ensuring perfect accuracy in all sentences.

Are adverts useful for people?

I think advertisements are useful because they can help people learn about new products, discount information or service details.
