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 well-organized and coherent, directly addressing the question. Consider expanding on the reasons behind the shift in status symbols and providing more specific examples to enrich your response. A more detailed comparison between past and present would further enhance the answer.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent and mostly fluent. Minor repetition and self-correction could be improved by pausing slightly more between ideas and planning sentences in advance. The conclusion feels a bit abrupt; a more developed concluding sentence would enhance fluency.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate and mostly precise. Words like "luxurious items" and "materialistic things" are well-chosen. However, more sophisticated vocabulary could be used to express the ideas more concisely and elegantly. For example, instead of 'huge differences,' consider 'substantial disparities' or 'marked contrasts'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammar is mostly accurate, but there are a few minor errors. For example, the phrase "These things are defined the status" is grammatically incorrect. The sentence structure could be improved for greater complexity and accuracy. Using more varied sentence structures would improve the overall grammatical range.
