I think with technology, our lives have completely changed, and I don't think there is a person who chooses traditional shopping over online shopping because online shopping is more convenient. If I speak for myself, I choose online shopping because I don't want to go outside to buy some things. It's such a waste of time, and I think it's the end of traditional retail spaces.

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 but relies heavily on personal preference rather than a broader perspective. To improve, consider discussing the wider economic and social impacts of online shopping on traditional retail, and avoid using personal examples.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is generally understandable, but there are some hesitations and a lack of smooth flow. The ideas are presented, but the connection between them could be stronger. To improve, practice linking your ideas more explicitly using cohesive devices (e.g., 'furthermore,' 'in addition,' 'however').

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate for the task, but it lacks precision and variety. The phrase 'my shopping' is used repeatedly instead of 'online shopping.' To enhance your lexical resource, try to use synonyms and more specific vocabulary related to shopping and retail.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are grammatical errors that occasionally impede understanding. For example, 'our lives were completely changed' should be 'our lives have completely changed.' Also, 'buy some things' could be improved to 'to buy things.' Focus on using correct verb tenses and articles. Practice constructing more complex sentences to demonstrate a wider range of grammatical structures.
