In our country, the level of education is increasing, but it's not as valuable as in other countries. I think not all people understand why education is needed, and many people think that it's just for getting a document and a big salary. However, I believe our formal education is more important for us, and we need to understand it. I think our formal education needs to develop and improve because it is necessary for all people.

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 attempts to discuss the value of formal education in the speaker's country. However, it lacks depth and specific examples. The speaker could strengthen the response by providing concrete examples of how formal education is valuable or not valuable in their country, and by elaborating on the reasons why people may undervalue education. More specific examples would improve the response.

Fluency & Coherence

The response is understandable, but the fluency is hampered by frequent hesitations ('um', 'uh'). The ideas are presented in a somewhat disorganized manner. Improving fluency and coherence would involve reducing filler words and structuring the response more logically, perhaps by presenting arguments for and against the value of formal education separately.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is adequate but not particularly sophisticated. The speaker uses some appropriate words like 'valuable' and 'developing,' but more precise and nuanced vocabulary would enhance the response. For example, instead of 'big salary,' the speaker could use 'high income' or 'lucrative employment.'

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is mostly correct, but there are some minor errors and inconsistencies. For example, the sentence 'it needs for all people' is grammatically incorrect. The speaker should focus on improving grammatical accuracy and using a wider range of grammatical structures. More complex sentence structures would demonstrate a higher level of grammatical proficiency.
