According to my viewpoint, it is very crucial to preserve our primary language rather than let it disappear. One of the major reasons is that if we conserve our old language, recent norms and values will definitely help secure information related to our primary language in the forthcoming future. In addition to that, if visitors come to our nation, they also have the opportunity to learn about our language, traditions, norms, and values, which enhances the flow of tourists during that period of time.

Pronunciation

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

Task Response

The response addresses the topic of language preservation but fails to address the specific scope of the question. The question asks 'to what extent governments should be responsible,' whereas the answer focuses on the general importance of preserving language without discussing the role or responsibility of the government. Additionally, the response relies on personal perspective ('our primary language', 'our nation') rather than maintaining the general, academic tone required for Part 3. To improve, ensure you directly address the agent of action mentioned in the prompt (in this case, the government) and frame your arguments in a broad, societal context rather than a personal one.

Fluency & Coherence

The speaker attempts to use cohesive devices like 'One of the major reasons' and 'In addition to that,' which helps the structure. However, the coherence suffers because the logical connection between 'preserving language' and 'jubilance to secure information' is unclear. The ideas do not flow logically from a premise to a conclusion. To improve, focus on the 'PEEL' method (Point, Explanation, Example, Link) to ensure each sentence builds logically upon the previous one.

Lexical Resource

There is an attempt to use higher-level vocabulary such as 'forthcoming,' 'conserve,' and 'enhance.' However, many words are used incorrectly or in an unnatural way (e.g., 'jubilance to secure information' and 'program period of time'). This is known as 'word salad,' where sophisticated words are used without regard for collocation or meaning. Suggestion: Focus on learning collocations (words that naturally go together) rather than just memorizing individual 'big' words.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The answer contains several grammatical errors that impede communication. For example, 'rather than disappear it' (should be 'let it disappear'), 'it will helps' (subject-verb agreement error), and 'visitors come in our nation' (preposition error). The sentence structures are somewhat repetitive. To reach a higher band, you must practice subject-verb agreement and the correct use of gerunds and infinitives.

That’s quite an interesting question. I would say the government should play a crucial role in saving dying indigenous languages. Also, they cannot achieve this alone.

No, I don’t think so and I believe the traditional museum will not eventually be replaced by the virtual reality experiences because whenever we go to the traditional museums, they are actually representing the authenticity, ancient time, their households, any objects or their lifestyle.
