Task Response

The answer is relevant to the question and presents two sides of the issue. However, it could benefit from more detailed explanation and examples to support the points made. Elaborating on the cultural and historical significance of preserving old buildings, and the potential consequences of demolition, would strengthen the response.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent, presenting both sides of the argument. However, the phrasing could be smoother. The structure is a little awkward at times, particularly the transition between the two viewpoints. Focus on smoother transitions and a more natural flow of ideas.

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is adequate, but some choices are slightly imprecise. 'Nuance' is used incorrectly here; a more appropriate word would enhance the lexical range. Consider using more specific vocabulary to describe the benefits of preserving old buildings and the reasons for demolition.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammar is mostly accurate, but there are some errors. The phrase 'the reason of straightforward answer' is grammatically incorrect. The sentence structure could be improved for greater clarity and accuracy. Practice using a wider range of grammatical structures, such as complex sentences, to improve fluency and accuracy.
