(+/- 0.5)

Vocabulary Complexity:
B1 - Intermediate
Using more sophisticated words could be beneficial.

Vocabulary Repetition:
No noticeable repetition! Great job!

Pronunciation

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 specific example of change. However, to achieve a higher score, more details and elaboration on the changes and their impact would be beneficial. Consider discussing other aspects of your hometown's transformation, such as infrastructure, population, or social changes.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent and mostly fluent. There is some repetition ("a lot of a lot of changes") and slightly hesitant phrasing. Improving the flow by removing the repetition and using more concise language would enhance fluency.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate and mostly accurate. Words like "expand traffic of buses" are not quite precise; using "expand the bus service" or "increase bus routes" would be more accurate and natural. A wider range of vocabulary would improve the score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar contains some inaccuracies ("over the around two or three years ago"). While the main ideas are understandable, more precise grammatical structures are needed for a higher score. The sentence 'it could help to decrease the level of traffic jams' is grammatically correct but could be improved by using a more sophisticated structure, such as a passive voice or a more concise phrasing.
