Pronunciation

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

Task Response

The response addresses the question but could benefit from a more in-depth exploration of the impacts on brick-and-mortar stores. Consider discussing specific challenges or adaptations these stores might face. Providing more varied vocabulary and sentence structures would also enhance the response.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is somewhat coherent, but there are noticeable hesitations and repetitions ('less and less,' 'prefer to'). The ideas are generally connected, but the flow could be smoother. Try to avoid repeating phrases and use a wider range of linking words to improve coherence. Practice speaking more continuously without pausing excessively.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is relatively simple and lacks precision. Words like 'convenable' are not standard English. The range of vocabulary is limited. To improve, focus on learning synonyms and more specific terms related to business and consumer behavior. Try to use more varied and precise language to express your ideas.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is generally understandable, but there are errors such as 'business is vanishing' (better: 'businesses are vanishing' or 'business is declining') and awkward phrasing like 'less effort do less effort.' The range of sentence structures is limited. Work on using more complex sentence structures and ensuring subject-verb agreement. Pay attention to articles (a/an/the) and plural forms.
