So it is clear that online shopping has changed the way people buy their products. In the past, everyone tended to like to go in-store and choose their products by themselves and also wrap them as presents. But recently, with the development of technology, online shopping has changed dramatically. First of all, I think everyone tends to buy their gifts online on sale days because they can get a lower cost and also have an additional discount.

Pronunciation

Your pronunciation is average. It is understandable but not always accurate. Focusing on the rhythm and stress patterns of English could prove beneficial.

Task Response

The answer is relevant to the question and touches upon some aspects of how online shopping has changed gift-buying. However, it could benefit from expanding on other key changes, such as the wider selection of gifts available online, the convenience factor, and the impact on gift-giving traditions. More detailed examples and a broader discussion of the topic would strengthen the response.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent, but the fluency could be improved. There are a few instances of repetition and unnatural phrasing. Focus on smoother transitions between ideas and avoid unnecessary phrases like "So it is untoward to that." Practice speaking more naturally and at a consistent pace.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but not particularly sophisticated. While the answer conveys the main points, using more precise and varied vocabulary would enhance the response. For example, instead of 'grab,' consider using 'purchase' or 'select.' Try to incorporate more nuanced vocabulary related to online shopping and gift-giving.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are some grammatical errors, such as the incorrect use of "tends to like to." The grammar is generally understandable, but more accurate and varied sentence structures are needed for a higher score. Pay attention to subject-verb agreement and tense consistency. Practice using a wider range of grammatical structures, including complex sentences.
