Task Response

The response effectively addresses the question by providing several relevant ways governments can encourage sustainable and ethical business practices. The answer is well-organized and includes examples to support the points made. To further enhance the response, consider elaborating on the potential challenges or complexities associated with implementing these measures.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is generally coherent and easy to follow. The ideas are logically connected, but the use of cohesive devices could be more varied and sophisticated. For example, instead of just saying 'For example,' you could use phrases like 'To illustrate this point' or 'A clear example of this is.' Also, avoid starting multiple sentences with 'Government can...' Varying sentence structure will improve coherence.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate and relevant to the topic. Words like 'sustainable,' 'ethical,' 'eco-friendly,' and 'pollution' are used appropriately. However, the range could be expanded with more specific and nuanced vocabulary related to government regulations, business practices, and environmental protection. For instance, instead of 'strict rules,' you could use 'stringent regulations' or 'mandatory compliance standards.'

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is mostly accurate, with only minor errors that do not impede understanding. There's a good use of simple and compound sentences. To improve, try incorporating more complex sentence structures and a wider range of grammatical forms. For example, use conditional sentences (e.g., 'If the government were to offer more incentives...') or relative clauses to add more detail and sophistication.
