Task Response

The answer is well-organized and coherent, directly addressing the question. Consider expanding on the potential drawbacks of zoos, such as limited space and unnatural environments, to demonstrate a more balanced perspective. Adding examples of successful zoo conservation programs would further strengthen the response.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent and mostly fluent. Minor repetition and slightly unnatural phrasing ('people can keep animals in the zoo parks') could be improved for greater fluency. Consider rephrasing to sound more natural and concise.

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is adequate and mostly accurate. Words like 'thrive' and 'populate' show good range. Using 'reproduce' instead of 'populate' would be more precise in this context. More sophisticated vocabulary could elevate the response.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammar is mostly accurate with only minor issues. The sentence structure is simple but effective. Improving the sentence structure and using more complex grammatical structures would enhance the score. For example, combining the two sentences into one more complex sentence would improve the grammatical range.
