If this method is used in cities, crowding is very easy to avoid. Also, the number of accidents might be very decent because most accidents are caused by using private cars. Additionally, if pedestrians and cyclists are prioritized, the weather would be very fresh compared to now.

Pronunciation

Your pronunciation is below average and may be understood with some effort. Pay attention to common phonemes that are challenging for you.

Task Response

The answer stays on topic and addresses the question, but it lacks depth and specificity. It mentions general benefits like reduced crowding, fewer accidents, and fresher air, but does not elaborate on how urban planning would actually change (e.g., infrastructure design, zoning, policy). To improve, provide concrete examples of planning measures, such as dedicated bike lanes, pedestrian-only zones, traffic calming, and integrated public transport, and explain their broader impacts on city life and sustainability.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is somewhat coherent but lacks clear organization and development. The response jumps from one point to another without clear linking. There is noticeable repetition and self-correction ('crowd being crowded', 'I'll name cause'). The ideas are not fully expanded, and the answer ends abruptly. To improve, structure the response with clear topic sentences and use cohesive devices to link ideas. Practice developing each point with examples or explanations.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is limited and imprecise. For example, 'crowd being crowded' is awkward, and 'very decent' is not the best choice for describing a reduction in accidents. The phrase 'weather would be very fresh' is simplistic. To improve, use a wider range of precise vocabulary (e.g., 'congestion', 'fatalities', 'air quality', 'emissions'). Avoid repetition and choose words that accurately convey the intended meaning.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical errors and awkward structures. For example, 'crowd being crowded' is ungrammatical, 'most of accidents I'll name cause' is incorrect (should be 'most accidents are caused'), and 'the distance and cycle is prioritized' has subject-verb agreement issues. The sentence 'the weather would be very fresh, right compared to no' is incomplete. To improve, focus on producing accurate simple and complex sentences. Practice using passive voice correctly and ensure subject-verb agreement.
