The answer directly addresses the question and provides relevant information about the changes. Consider expanding on specific examples of changes and elaborating on the impact of these changes. More detailed descriptions would strengthen the response.

The answer is coherent and mostly fluent. There's some repetition and hesitation ("um", "a lot of natural"), but the overall message is clear. Improving fluency would involve reducing these fillers and planning the answer slightly more before speaking.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate and mostly accurate. Words like "man-made infrastructure" and "natural scenery" show good range. However, more precise language could be used in places. For example, instead of 'natural things,' more specific terms could be used, such as 'vegetation,' 'wildlife,' or 'natural habitats'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are some grammatical inaccuracies. The sentence "natural things are not. Not given most priority" is grammatically incorrect and could be improved. While the overall message is understandable, more attention to grammatical accuracy would improve the score. Consider using more complex sentence structures to demonstrate a wider range.
