I think maybe yes, because with technological advancements nowadays, police and governments have more high-tech equipment to check and investigate potential suspects and catch wrongdoers. Therefore, they may be afraid of committing illicit acts, and the crime rate can decrease when they know that they are likely to be caught. Another important reason is that governments now enact stricter laws and punishments, for example, having to pay taxes or large amounts of money. Therefore, people may not engage in criminal activities.

Task Response

The answer is well-organized and coherent, providing two clear reasons to support the prediction. Consider exploring the complexities of the issue further by acknowledging potential counterarguments or nuances, such as the impact of social inequality or changing societal norms on crime rates. Expanding on the examples provided would also strengthen the response.

Fluency & Coherence

Good attempt at structuring the answer with two clear reasons. Minor hesitations and fillers ('um', 'uh', 'Mhm') are present but don't significantly impede understanding. Try to reduce filler words for a smoother delivery. The conclusion could be more concise and impactful.

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is adequate and mostly accurate. Words like 'illicit acts' and 'high-tech equipment' show a good range. Consider using more precise vocabulary, such as 'deterrent' instead of 'afraid' to describe the effect of technology on criminals. The phrase 'crime race' should be corrected to 'crime rate'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammar is mostly correct, but there are a few minor errors and incomplete sentences. For example, the sentence starting with 'Therefore, people, they are not um, they may' is grammatically incorrect and incomplete. Work on sentence structure and avoid run-on sentences. Practice using a wider range of grammatical structures, such as passive voice, to enhance your score.
