The student's speech is somewhat hesitant, with noticeable fillers like "uh" and "um." The answer is generally coherent, but the sentence structure could be improved. For example, "Emails also allow me to get it communicates" is grammatically incorrect and could be rephrased as "Emails also allow me to communicate effectively."

For example, "As, uh, due to the modern technologies" is grammatically incorrect and could be rephrased as "Due to modern technology."
