Pronunciation

Your pronunciation is above average. However, you may find complexity in certain words challenging. Regular practice should aid in improvement.

Task Response

The response addresses the question but presents a somewhat contradictory argument. It initially suggests a disconnect between urban planning/design and well-being due to pollution, then proposes solutions for positive impacts. Clarifying the initial stance and providing more concrete examples of how urban planning and design can directly enhance well-being would strengthen the response.

Fluency & Coherence

The response is somewhat coherent, but there are instances where the flow is disrupted by awkward phrasing and a lack of clear connectors. The ideas are generally understandable, but the organization could be improved. To enhance coherence, use more varied cohesive devices and ensure each sentence logically follows the previous one. Practice structuring your responses with a clear introduction, body, and conclusion.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but lacks precision and variety. There are some instances of imprecise word choice (e.g., "making a highly effort"). To improve, focus on expanding your vocabulary related to urban planning, design, and well-being. Use a thesaurus to find synonyms and more precise terms. Also, pay attention to collocations and idiomatic expressions to make your language sound more natural.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The response contains grammatical errors that occasionally impede understanding. Examples include incorrect verb tenses ("that is making"), subject-verb agreement issues, and awkward sentence structures. To improve, focus on mastering basic grammar rules and practicing sentence construction. Review verb tenses, articles, and prepositions. Consider seeking feedback from a language tutor or using online grammar checkers to identify and correct errors.
