Try using synonyms for the above words

Pronunciation

Your pronunciation is above average. However, you may find complexity in certain words challenging. Regular practice should aid in improvement.

Task Response

The answer is relevant to the question and provides a clear comparison between past and present methods of English learning. To improve, consider expanding on the advantages and disadvantages of both past and present methods, and perhaps exploring other factors beyond technology, such as teaching methodologies or access to resources.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent and mostly fluent. There are a few hesitations ('um', 'uh', 'ah'), but they don't significantly impede understanding. Improving fluency would involve reducing these fillers and speaking more smoothly. The structure is logical, comparing past and present methods.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate and mostly accurate. Words like 'advanced devices' and 'effectively' are used appropriately. However, there's room for improvement in precision. Phrases like 'learn by hard' could be replaced with more precise terms like 'memorize' or 'learn through rote learning'. Using more sophisticated synonyms would enhance the lexical range.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is mostly correct, but there are some minor errors. For example, 'ident' should be 'need', and the phrasing in several places is slightly awkward. While the basic sentence structures are sound, using more complex grammatical structures and ensuring consistent subject-verb agreement would improve the score. The sentence 'They are effective app m that can help people to learn effectively without writing on the paper or, uh, notbook' shows some grammatical issues.
