Task Response

The answer stays on topic and directly addresses the question about whether old people often change plans. It provides a clear stance (they generally don't) and gives relevant reasons (routine, health, family). However, it could be more fully developed by adding examples or contrasting with younger people, and it leans slightly toward personal opinion rather than a broader generalization. To improve, consider elaborating on why routines are important to older adults or how their priorities differ from younger generations.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent and logically organized, with a clear main point and supporting examples. There is some minor repetition ('change their plans' used multiple times) and a slight hesitation ('they maybe can change'), but overall the response flows naturally. To improve, reduce repetition and use more varied cohesive devices.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but not highly precise or flexible. Phrases like 'stay at their routine' are slightly awkward; 'stick to their routine' would be more natural. The term 'bad visa' is unclear and likely a mispronunciation or error for 'health conditions'. Using more precise and varied vocabulary would enhance the score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is mostly accurate, but there are a few errors: 'they maybe can change' should be 'they might change' or 'they may change', and 'his conditions' is incorrect (should be 'their conditions' or 'health conditions'). The sentence structure is relatively simple, with limited use of complex structures. Expanding grammatical range would improve the score.
