Pronunciation

Your pronunciation is quite good. Working on consistency and tackling difficult sounds may enhance clarity.

Task Response

The answer is quite good and addresses the question directly. Consider expanding on the reasons why young people might or might not follow parental advice, exploring different perspectives and offering a more nuanced response. Adding examples or specific situations would strengthen the answer.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent and well-organized. The ideas flow logically. Minor repetition ('parents') could be reduced for improved fluency. Consider using more sophisticated linking words to enhance the flow, such as 'furthermore,' 'in addition,' or 'consequently'.

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is adequate and mostly accurate. Words like 'successful' and 'better view' are slightly less precise. Consider using more nuanced vocabulary, such as 'thrive,' 'prosper,' or 'broader perspective' to demonstrate a wider range.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammar is mostly accurate, with a few minor issues in sentence structure. The phrasing 'parents have more experience and they have the better view from their opinion' is slightly awkward. Improving sentence structure and using more complex grammatical structures will improve the score. For example, consider combining some sentences for better flow and conciseness.
