Pronunciation

Your pronunciation is quite good. Working on consistency and tackling difficult sounds may enhance clarity.

Task Response

The response addresses the question directly but could benefit from more depth and varied vocabulary. Consider expanding on the reasons why successful people might not always be happy and providing specific examples to support your points. Also, focus on using a wider range of grammatical structures to enhance clarity.

Fluency & Coherence

The response is somewhat coherent, but there are noticeable hesitations and repetitions. The ideas are presented, but the flow could be improved with better connectors and a more structured approach. Try to avoid repeating phrases and use a wider range of linking words to connect your ideas more smoothly.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but lacks precision and variety. The same words and phrases are repeated (e.g., 'successful,' 'happy,' 'achieve'). To improve, try to use synonyms and more descriptive language to express your ideas more effectively. For example, instead of just saying 'happy,' you could use words like 'content,' 'fulfilled,' or 'satisfied.'

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is generally understandable, but there are errors that affect clarity. The sentence structure is somewhat simple and repetitive. There are issues with word order and the use of 'what they were doing to get the goal.' To improve, focus on using a wider range of grammatical structures and ensuring that your sentences are grammatically correct. Practice using complex sentences and different verb tenses.

Should children be allowed to use social media?

Yes, in my opinion, children should be allowed to use social media but with some set and limits. For instance, your child don’t have to use the social media more than 3 hours per day because it can lead to not really good circumstances like health problems with eye and so on. And we all […]

In what ways might urbanization affect traditional family structures and values?

I strongly believe that urbanization impacts traditional family dynamics through aspects such as architecture, aesthetics and urban design. However, the effect of urbanization can vary depending on individual circumstances. Some families may seek to acquire multiple properties even if their financial situation does not fully support such purchases.
