Task Response

The answer is relevant to the question and provides specific examples of changes in the hometown. To improve, consider adding more detail and descriptive language to paint a clearer picture of the changes and their impact. Elaborating on the positive and negative aspects of these changes would also strengthen the response.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent and well-organized, with a clear structure. The speaker uses cohesive devices like 'firstly' and 'secondly' effectively. While the fluency is good, there's room for improvement in smoother transitions between ideas. Minor hesitations are present but don't significantly impede understanding.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is adequate and appropriate for the topic. Words like 'infrastructure' and 'scheme' demonstrate a good range. However, more precise and sophisticated vocabulary could enhance the response. For example, instead of 'people are involved in giving homes,' a more precise phrase like 'housing initiatives have been implemented' would be stronger.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is mostly accurate, but there are a few minor errors. For instance, 'the roads were all broken and it was not repaired properly' should be 'the roads were all broken and were not repaired properly.' The sentence 'people are involved in giving homes' is grammatically incorrect and could be improved. While the speaker uses a range of grammatical structures, more complex sentence structures would improve the score.
