Task Response

The student answered the question directly and provided relevant information. However, the answer could be more concise and focused on the present situation. Instead of mentioning the past, the student could have simply stated that they don't have many paper maps at home anymore. The response could be expanded as it currently feels quite brief.

Fluency & Coherence

The student's speech is generally fluent, but there is some repetition and self-correction. The sentence structure is a bit awkward in places, and the flow could be smoother. For example, the phrase 'which available at my home' is grammatically incorrect and could be rephrased as 'which are available at my home'.

Lexical Resource

The student uses a good range of vocabulary, but there are some instances of less precise language. For example, 'digital maps' is a bit vague and could be replaced with a more specific term like 'online maps' or 'GPS navigation'. The student also uses the phrase 'paper maps' which is a bit redundant as 'maps' usually implies paper maps.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The student demonstrates a good understanding of grammar, but there are some errors. The sentence 'I used more digital maps than paper maps, which available at my home' is grammatically incorrect. The student also uses the past tense 'used to have' when the present tense 'have' would be more appropriate.
