Task Response

The answer is partially relevant to the question, but it focuses more on the parents' changing beliefs about money rather than broader societal changes. Consider addressing the question more directly by comparing aspects of life in your parents' generation to the present day, such as technology, social values, or work culture. A more general approach, avoiding overly personal anecdotes, would improve the response.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is somewhat coherent, but the delivery is hesitant and repetitive. The ideas are not fully developed, and there are noticeable pauses and self-corrections. Work on smoother transitions between ideas and practice speaking more fluently without interruptions.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but lacks precision. Phrases like "money is everything" are overused and lack nuance. Try to use more specific and sophisticated vocabulary to express your ideas more effectively. The phrase 'system of daughters are giving up settlement family' is unclear and needs rephrasing.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical errors, including incorrect tense usage, sentence structure, and word order. The answer contains several instances of repetition and incomplete sentences. Focus on improving grammatical accuracy and sentence construction. Practice using a wider range of grammatical structures.
