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 response addresses the question directly and provides a specific example of change. Expanding on the reasons for the changes and providing more details would further enhance the answer.

Fluency & Coherence

The response is somewhat coherent, but there are noticeable pauses and hesitations. The use of 'and so' is repetitive and disrupts the flow. To improve, focus on reducing filler words and structuring sentences more concisely. Practice speaking more smoothly and connecting ideas with varied cohesive devices.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but lacks precision. Words like 'detrimental' are used correctly, but the overall range is limited. To enhance lexical resource, try to incorporate more specific and descriptive vocabulary related to urban development and environmental issues. For example, instead of 'development,' you could use 'infrastructure improvements' or 'urban expansion.'

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar contains errors that occasionally impede understanding. For example, 'changed for 5 years' should be 'changed over the past 5 years.' There are also issues with sentence structure and word order. To improve, focus on mastering basic grammatical structures and practicing sentence construction. Pay attention to verb tenses and prepositions.
