Yes, absolutely the culture of the past has a great influence on today's society. For instance, in earlier times, families often dined together at night regardless of their socioeconomic status, whether they were middle class or upper class. Many people are still opting for the same culture, and they prefer to eat together at night because they believe that dinner time is family time and it's a special time.

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 example. However, it focuses heavily on one specific aspect of culture and could benefit from exploring a wider range of cultural influences from the past. Consider broadening the scope of examples to demonstrate a more comprehensive understanding of the topic.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent and well-structured. The only minor issue is the slight repetition in phrasing ('Many people are still opting same culture...'). Consider rephrasing to maintain a more dynamic flow. For example, instead of 'Many people are still opting same culture,' you could say 'This tradition persists among many people,' or 'This practice continues to be common among many.'

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is adequate and mostly precise. Words like 'socioeconomic status' show a good range. However, 'opting same culture' is slightly awkward. More precise vocabulary choices would elevate the response. Consider using synonyms for 'culture' and 'influence' to demonstrate a wider range.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammar is mostly accurate, with only a minor error ('have a great influence' should be 'has a great influence'). The sentence structure is generally good, but some sentences could be more concise and sophisticated. For example, the phrase 'whether they are middle class or higher class' could be improved to 'regardless of their socioeconomic status' or 'irrespective of class.' Using a wider range of grammatical structures would improve the score.
