Pronunciation

Your pronunciation is quite good. Working on consistency and tackling difficult sounds may enhance clarity.

Task Response

The answer is quite brief and could benefit from more detail and elaboration. Consider describing the infrastructure involved (e.g., traffic lights, pedestrian crossings, overpasses/underpasses), and perhaps mention different behaviors or challenges people might face when crossing the road in your city.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent and easy to follow. Minor repetition of 'in this place' could be improved by rephrasing. A slightly more natural flow could be achieved with smoother transitions between sentences. For example, instead of 'Where in this place, people can cross over the road', consider 'Here, people can safely cross the road'.

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is adequate and mostly accurate. The phrase 'special zones for pedestrians' is slightly formal; a more natural alternative might be 'pedestrian crossings' or 'crosswalks'. The word 'Orman' seems to be a typo and should be replaced with 'urban'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammar is mostly accurate, with a minor error in the phrase 'it's very safe places'. It should be 'they are very safe places' or 'it is a very safe place'. The sentence structure is simple but effective. Using more varied sentence structures would enhance the score.
