A problem that impacts the environment where I live is the littering of people throwing trash everywhere. They are throwing it on the roadside, in the river, or just about everywhere. What causes it? I think it is due to the lack of facilities for waste disposal and also the lack of awareness about the environmental impacts it will cause. Regarding the problem, I think the people who litter or dump rubbish do not feel anything about this issue. They feel it is normal to throw trash in a place where rubbish has already piled up. So, for them, it may seem normal. However, the people who are really annoyed are those who pay monthly for the dustman to pick up their trash.

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 and provides relevant information about the environmental problem, its causes, and people's feelings. To improve, consider providing more specific details and examples to enhance the depth and clarity of your answer. Expanding on the consequences of the problem and offering potential solutions could also strengthen the response.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is generally coherent, but there are some hesitations and instances of repetition ('rubbish or the rubbish dumpers'). The structure is present but could be more clearly signposted. Try to use more varied linking words and phrases to improve the flow of your speech. For example, instead of repeatedly saying 'I think,' try using phrases like 'In my opinion,' 'From my perspective,' or 'It seems to me that.'

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate for the task, but it lacks precision and variety. The word 'trashes' is not commonly used; 'trash' or 'litter' is more appropriate. To improve, try to use more specific and descriptive vocabulary related to environmental issues. For example, instead of just saying 'environmental impacts,' you could mention specific impacts like 'pollution,' 'habitat destruction,' or 'health hazards.'

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical errors throughout the response. For example, 'impact the environment' should be 'impacts the environment,' and 'what we found out about the problem' is awkwardly phrased. The sentence structure is also quite simple. To improve, focus on using a wider range of grammatical structures and paying closer attention to subject-verb agreement and correct tense usage. Practice using complex sentences to express your ideas more effectively.
