Your pronunciation is average. It is understandable but not always accurate. Focusing on the rhythm and stress patterns of English could prove beneficial.

Task Response

The student answered the question directly and provided some relevant information about the changes in their hometown. However, the answer lacks detail and could be more specific. For example, the student could mention specific types of new buildings or the impact of economic development on the community.

Fluency & Coherence

The student's speech is somewhat hesitant and disjointed, with several fillers and repetitions. The answer lacks a clear structure and could benefit from more logical connections between ideas. For example, the student could use transition words like 'for example' or 'as a result' to connect the different points.

Lexical Resource

The student uses some appropriate vocabulary related to economic development and change, but the answer could be more precise and varied. For example, instead of 'bombing global believe stand,' the student could use more specific phrases like 'globalization' or 'international investment.'

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The student makes several grammatical errors, including incorrect verb tenses and word order. For example, 'it can seen' should be 'it has seen' and 'haverupt offered' should be 'have brought.' The student also uses some awkward phrasing, such as 'appired to open mind.' The student should focus on improving their grammar and sentence structure.
