Me personally, as much as I love the earth, to be selfish, I actually prefer private transportation more than public transportation. It is because in my country, Indonesia, it's not that convenient for me as a girl to use public transportation, because there are some stalkers who literally follow a girl until she gets home. Overall, it's just much safer for me to drive by myself or even ride in private transportation with people I trust.

The vocabulary is adequate and mostly accurate. Words like "stalkers" are used effectively. More precise language could be used in places; for example, instead of "it's just much more safer," consider "it is significantly safer." Expanding on the reasons for preferring private transport would showcase a wider range of vocabulary.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are some grammatical inaccuracies. The sentence "Prefer transportation more than public transportation" is grammatically incorrect. The phrasing "who can it us" is also ungrammatical. While the overall message is clear, focusing on grammatical accuracy would improve the score. Using more complex sentence structures would also demonstrate a wider grammatical range.
