In general, in my opinion, the education system has undergone big changes because of technology. I believe that it became more in demand last year, and that's why students now use computers, tablets, or phones to complete their school tasks. For example, I would say that a lot of schools start using the internet in classes to find information and do research. And I believe that it's an excellent practice amongst schools because it helps students to find information more rapidly and easily.

Pronunciation

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

Task Response

The answer addresses the question about changes in education due to technology, but it lacks depth and specificity. It focuses on personal opinion and a single example, rather than providing a broader, more general discussion of various changes in recent years. To improve, consider discussing multiple aspects such as curriculum changes, teaching methods, assessment styles, or the impact of global events like the pandemic. Also, avoid overusing phrases like 'I believe' and 'I would say' to maintain a more objective tone.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is generally coherent and easy to follow, with a clear structure: opinion, reason, example, and conclusion. However, there is some hesitation and repetition ('I believe that', 'I would say that'), and the phrase 'it became more in demand last year' is vague and could be better explained. To improve, reduce filler phrases and provide more specific details to enhance clarity.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but limited, with some imprecise word choices like 'big changes' (could be 'significant transformations'), 'excellent practice' (could be 'beneficial approach'), and 'more in demand' (unclear meaning). The phrase 'make some researches' is incorrect (should be 'conduct research'). To improve, use more precise and varied vocabulary, such as 'digital tools', 'educational resources', or 'enhance learning'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammar is mostly accurate but with some errors: 'technologies' should be 'technology' (uncountable), 'start using' should be 'have started using' (present perfect for recent changes), and 'more rapidly and easier' should be 'more rapidly and easily' (adverb form). The sentence 'it became more in demand last year' is awkward. To improve, use a wider range of structures (e.g., conditionals, passive voice) and ensure subject-verb agreement and correct word forms.

How has education changed compared to the past?

Why might listening to the radio be less popular now than in the past?

Why do some people choose to live in a city centre?

People who live there tend to have everything on their doorstep from healthcare facilities and banks to entertainment venues such as theaters, shopping malls and cafes. Another major advantage is wider range of […]
