I don't think the tobacco company should be held responsible for a person's addiction to nicotine. The reason for that is people's choice regarding their health. The tobacco path makes life unhealthy, but people don't consider that. For people, tobacco is always unhealthy. So I think that's it. That's my opinion on the matter.

Pronunciation

Your pronunciation is average. It is understandable but not always accurate. Focusing on the rhythm and stress patterns of English could prove beneficial.

Task Response

The answer is somewhat brief and lacks depth. Consider exploring the complexities of the issue, such as the role of advertising and marketing in shaping consumer behavior, and the potential for mitigating the harm caused by nicotine addiction. Expanding on the reasons behind your opinion would strengthen your response.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer lacks fluency. There are numerous filled pauses ("uh") and repetitions that disrupt the flow of speech. While the main idea is conveyed, the structure could be improved by using clearer transitions and avoiding unnecessary hesitations. Practice speaking more smoothly and confidently, focusing on reducing filler words and improving the overall coherence of your thoughts.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is adequate but not particularly sophisticated. Words like "unhealthy" are repeated. Try to incorporate more precise and varied vocabulary to express your ideas more effectively. For example, instead of repeatedly saying "unhealthy," you could use synonyms like "detrimental," "harmful," or "damaging." Expanding your vocabulary will enhance the overall quality of your response.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammatical accuracy is inconsistent. There are several grammatical errors, such as incorrect article usage and sentence structure. While the message is understandable, improving grammatical accuracy is crucial for a higher score. Focus on practicing sentence structures and paying attention to articles, verb tenses, and subject-verb agreement. Review basic grammar rules and practice constructing more complex sentences.
