In my opinion, urban planning contributes to improving the mental well-being of city residents. Urban sprawl is, I think, a bad thing. If the city is expanding, we have less oxygen in our lives, which can be very detrimental to our health. It affects how we spend time or hang out with our friends because the pollution is very severe, and we can't relax as much.

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 could benefit from a more comprehensive exploration of the topic. Consider providing a wider range of examples and elaborating on the specific mechanisms through which urban planning impacts mental well-being. Providing more specific details and examples would enhance the clarity and depth of your answer.

Fluency & Coherence

The response is somewhat coherent, but there are noticeable pauses and hesitations ('I think,' 'very, very worse') that disrupt the flow. The ideas are connected, but the transitions could be smoother. To improve, practice speaking more continuously and use linking words to connect your ideas more effectively.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is basic and lacks precision. Words like 'bad thing' and 'very, very worse' are vague. To enhance your lexical resource, try to use more specific and varied vocabulary related to urban planning and mental well-being. For example, instead of 'bad thing,' you could say 'detrimental' or 'unfavorable.'

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar contains errors that affect clarity. For example, 'If the city is increasing' should be 'If the city is expanding.' Also, 'we can't even more relaxing' is grammatically incorrect. Focus on using a wider range of grammatical structures and ensuring accuracy in your sentence construction. Review basic grammar rules and practice forming complex sentences.
