Well, I think it can affect them negatively because if the workforce and the people who work there realize that their work can be done with AI, robots, or automation, they will be upset. They will feel that the amount of time they spend is being wasted because, after some extent, the company will not need a human force in this job; they will keep using AI, and they will be jobless. These are typical thoughts that can come to their mind, which makes me think that this affects them negatively. On the other hand, some people can actually feel happy about this because they can use AI or different tools to benefit them by improving their skills. AI is something that they don't have any problem with; they don't make any mistakes, so you can actually learn something from them. So I think it can be both effective and negative.

Pronunciation

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

Task Response

The response addresses the question directly and provides a balanced view by discussing both negative and positive psychological impacts. To improve, aim to move further away from personal phrasing (e.g., 'which makes me think') and instead use more objective, academic language to discuss societal trends. Additionally, the development of the positive side could be strengthened; while the negative impact is well-explained through the lens of job insecurity, the positive side focuses more on the utility of AI rather than explicitly linking it back to the 'psychological well-being' (e.g., reduced stress from repetitive tasks or increased job satisfaction through upskilling).

Fluency & Coherence

The speaker demonstrates a willingness to speak at length and uses basic cohesive devices like 'on the other hand' and 'so'. However, there is significant repetition ('the company will the company will') and some hesitation. The structure is a bit circular. To improve, work on using more sophisticated linking words (e.g., 'consequently', 'conversely', 'from a different perspective') and avoid repeating the same ideas to fill time.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is sufficient to convey the message but remains quite basic and repetitive (e.g., using 'negative' and 'happy' multiple times). There were some errors in word choice/pronunciation in the raw transcript (e.g., 'salts' instead of 'thoughts'). To reach a higher band, use more precise academic vocabulary related to the topic, such as 'job insecurity', 'technological unemployment', 'upskilling', or 'psychological distress'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The speaker relies heavily on simple sentence structures and 'if' clauses. There are several grammatical inaccuracies, such as 'after some extent' (should be 'to some extent') and 'they don't have any problem they don't make any mistakes' (run-on sentence). There is also a lack of complex structures like passive voice or perfect tenses. Focus on practicing complex sentence structures and ensuring subject-verb agreement.
