Success is the thing that makes you feel better and proud of yourself. It was measured by your position in society and status in the past. However, over time, it has dramatically changed and created a mindset in people that it shouldn't be measured by those. Success means how much money you have nowadays. If you have enough money and everything, you are a successful person in life. But before it wasn't like that. People were proud of numerous things and considered several things as a part of success.

Task Response

The answer addresses the question by discussing how the concept of success has changed from being measured by social status to being associated with money. However, it could be more fully developed with specific examples or a clearer contrast between past and present. The response is somewhat repetitive and could be more concise. To improve, provide a more structured comparison and avoid vague statements.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is generally coherent but lacks clear organization and transitions. There is some repetition and self-correction (e.g., 'Dati' corrected to 'status'). To improve, use cohesive devices like 'in contrast' or 'whereas' to compare past and present, and structure the answer with a clear introduction, body, and conclusion.

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is basic and repetitive (e.g., 'success' used multiple times). The word 'Dati' is unclear and likely a mistake. To improve, use more precise and varied vocabulary such as 'societal status,' 'material wealth,' or 'fulfillment.' Avoid vague terms like 'everything.'

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammar is mostly simple with some errors. 'Succeed means' should be 'Success means'; 'was proud' lacks a subject. There is limited use of complex structures. To improve, practice using conditional sentences, relative clauses, and varied tenses. For example: 'Whereas success used to be defined by social standing, it is now predominantly associated with financial wealth.'
