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 relevant details about the changes in the speaker's hometown. The answer includes specific examples, such as improvements in infrastructure, transportation, and education. However, the response is slightly cut off at the end. To improve, ensure that you fully express your ideas and provide a more complete conclusion.

Fluency & Coherence

The response is generally coherent, but there are some hesitations and abrupt stops that affect fluency. The use of 'for the following' is a bit awkward. Try to maintain a smoother flow by avoiding unnecessary pauses and using more natural connectors. For example, instead of 'Since it is also not good thing for the...', complete the thought or rephrase it to maintain coherence.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but could be more precise and varied. Words like 'significant changes' and 'concrete structure building' are acceptable but lack sophistication. Try to incorporate more specific and descriptive vocabulary to enhance the response. For example, instead of 'concrete structure building,' you could say 'modern residential and commercial developments.'

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is mostly accurate, but there are some errors and awkward phrasing. For example, 'there were no infrastructure, modern transportation and qualities of education' should be 'there was no infrastructure, modern transportation, or quality education.' Also, 'agricultural lands are converted' should be 'agricultural land was converted.' Focus on using correct verb tenses and parallel structure to improve grammatical accuracy.
