Pronunciation

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

Task Response

The answer is relevant to the question and provides a clear comparison between the past and present. Consider adding more details and specific examples to further illustrate the changes. Expanding on the reasons behind these changes would also strengthen the response.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent and well-organized, showing a clear comparison between the past and present. Minor improvements in fluency could be achieved by smoothing out some phrasing, such as replacing "in the present" with a more natural transition like "nowadays." The pacing is good, but a slight pause before "In addition" would improve clarity.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate and appropriate for the task. Words like "traders" and "population" are used effectively. More sophisticated vocabulary could enhance the response. For example, instead of 'a lot of the population', consider using 'a significant portion of the population' or 'a substantial number of people'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is mostly accurate, but there are a few minor errors. For instance, "were working as farmers, so they usually had farms to land" is slightly awkward and could be improved to "were farmers, and they usually owned land." The sentence structure is simple but effective. Using more complex sentence structures would improve the grammatical range.
