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 identifies some challenges faced by Indonesian SMEs, but lacks depth and specific examples. Consider providing more concrete examples to illustrate the challenges mentioned, and structuring your response more clearly to improve coherence and impact. Expanding on the global market and EECA Mars aspects would also strengthen the response.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent, but the phrasing could be improved for greater fluency. The mention of 'modus fission' is unclear and needs further explanation or removal. Minor repetition and self-correction could be reduced.

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is adequate but lacks precision in places. The term 'modus fission' is inappropriate and needs replacement with a more precise term related to product development. More specific examples of challenges would strengthen the response. The reference to 'EECA Mars' is unclear and should be clarified or removed.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammar is mostly accurate, with a few minor errors. Sentence structures are simple but effective. Improving sentence complexity and using a wider range of grammatical structures would enhance the score. The use of 'SMX' instead of 'SMEs' is inconsistent and should be corrected.
