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 question directly and provides relevant reasons. The ideas are clear and understandable. To improve, consider expanding on each reason with more detailed explanations or examples. Varying sentence structure and vocabulary could also enhance the response.

Fluency & Coherence

The response is somewhat coherent, but there are noticeable pauses and some repetition. The ideas are presented, but the flow could be smoother. To improve, try to elaborate more on each point and use linking words to connect your ideas more effectively. Practice speaking more continuously without pausing excessively.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but lacks precision. The phrase 'e-health' is not used correctly in this context, and the word choice is somewhat basic. To improve, try to use more specific and varied vocabulary related to technology and its effects. For example, instead of 'bad for our ease,' you could say 'detrimental to our eyesight.'

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical errors, such as 'their e-s' (should be 'their eyes'), 'screens are significantly bad for our ease' (should be 'screens are significantly bad for our eyes'), and 'to not to waste your time' (should be 'to avoid wasting their time'). To improve, focus on using correct grammar and sentence structure. Practice using a variety of sentence structures to enhance your grammatical range.
