In my perspective, I think that governments should prioritize space exploration more than solving problems like hunger, because each day the world has hundreds of thousands of newborn babies. It will be a serious problem if they grow up to be adults who need space in a house to live and make a family. I think this will cause more problems than terrestrial issues like hunger.

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

Task Response

The response addresses the topic but fails to provide a logical or well-developed argument. The reasoning provided - linking space exploration to the need for housing for newborn babies - is somewhat tangential and does not clearly explain why space exploration is a superior priority to solving hunger. To improve, try to develop more direct arguments, such as the potential for technological advancements from space research or the long-term survival of the human race. Additionally, ensure that the connection between your premises and your conclusion is clear and logically sound. Aim to discuss the issue from a broader societal or economic perspective rather than focusing on individual living spaces.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is somewhat coherent but lacks logical depth and development. The connection between 'newborn babies needing space in a house' and 'prioritizing space exploration' is a logical fallacy (confusing physical living space on Earth with outer space). In Part 3, you are expected to provide abstract, well-reasoned arguments. To improve, use cohesive devices like 'Furthermore,' 'Consequently,' or 'On the other hand' to link complex ideas, and ensure your premises lead logically to your conclusion.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is quite basic and repetitive (e.g., using 'problems' multiple times). You used 'terrestrial,' which is a good attempt at higher-level vocabulary, but the overall range is limited. To reach a higher band, try to use more precise academic terms such as 'overpopulation,' 'resource allocation,' 'sustainability,' or 'humanitarian crises' instead of repeating 'problems' and 'space in the house'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical errors that affect the clarity of your argument. For example, 'be a adult' should be 'become adults,' and 'more than hundreds of thousands newborn babies' is ungrammatical (should be 'hundreds of thousands of newborn babies'). You also struggle with complex sentence structures. Aim to use conditional sentences (e.g., 'If governments were to focus solely on...') and relative clauses to demonstrate a wider range of control.
