Task Response

The answer is relevant to the question and presents a clear opinion. However, it lacks detailed explanation and specific examples to support the claims. Consider providing more in-depth analysis of both advantages and disadvantages to strengthen the response.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent and well-structured. There is a clear line of reasoning. Minor improvements in fluency could be achieved by slightly smoother transitions between ideas. For example, instead of two short sentences, combining 'Consumers affect our future, and we can already see many downsides' into one sentence would improve flow.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate and appropriate for the topic. More sophisticated vocabulary could be used to express the negative impacts of consumerism. Words like 'depletion,' 'unsustainable,' or 'environmental degradation' would add precision and impact.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammar is mostly accurate with only minor errors. The sentence 'I don't believe the advantage of consumer society is more than disadvantages' is slightly awkward. A more natural phrasing would be 'I don't believe the advantages of a consumer society outweigh the disadvantages.' The use of grammatical structures is simple but effective.
