Task Response

The answer is relevant to the question and provides a clear comparison between past and present methods of English learning. However, expanding on the advantages and disadvantages of both approaches would strengthen the response and demonstrate a more nuanced understanding of the topic. Consider providing specific examples of how technology has impacted learning outcomes.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent and mostly fluent. Minor improvements could be made by smoothing out a few transitions. For example, instead of 'But in the past...', a smoother transition like 'In contrast...' or 'Historically...' would enhance the flow. The slight repetition of 'learn' could also be avoided by using synonyms.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate and mostly accurate. The use of terms like 'online sources,' 'Telegram groups,' and 'YouTube channels' demonstrates a good range. However, more precise vocabulary could be used in places. For example, instead of 'some kind of useful apps,' 'a variety of helpful language-learning apps' would be more specific and sophisticated.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is mostly accurate, with only minor errors. The sentence 'People can use and speak with native speakers' could be improved by using a more sophisticated structure, such as 'People can now interact with and practice speaking to native speakers using technology.' The use of simple past and present tenses is appropriate, but incorporating more complex grammatical structures would improve the score.
