I think old items and old products are actually of higher quality than the newer ones because, in the past, everything was done as it was necessary. In the new era, people often try to deceive their customers and do not follow the rules. Therefore, new things are actually much weaker, while old things are far more durable than the new ones.

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

Task Response

The answer is somewhat simplistic and opinionated. Consider exploring the differences from multiple perspectives, such as design, technology, materials, cultural significance, and societal impact, rather than focusing solely on perceived quality and deceptive practices. Supporting your claims with examples would strengthen your response.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent and well-organized. The ideas flow logically. Minor repetition ('the new era, in the new world') could be avoided for improved fluency. Consider using more sophisticated linking words to enhance the flow of ideas.

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is adequate and mostly precise. Words like 'deceive' and 'durable' show good range. However, more sophisticated vocabulary could be used to express the ideas more precisely and elegantly. Consider synonyms for 'things' and 'items'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammar is mostly accurate, with only minor errors. Sentence structures are varied, but some sentences could be improved for clarity and conciseness. For example, the phrase 'how it was necessary' could be rephrased for better precision. The use of 'while' to contrast old and new things is effective.
