Your pronunciation is average. It is understandable but not always accurate. Focusing on the rhythm and stress patterns of English could prove beneficial.

Task Response

The answer is relevant to the question and provides some information about the changes in the city. However, it could be improved by elaborating on the changes and providing more specific examples. Consider adding details about the impact of these changes on the community and the environment. More descriptive language would also enhance the response.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer lacks fluency. There are many filled pauses ('uh', 'um', 'ah'), repetitions, and incomplete sentences. Work on speaking more smoothly and confidently. Practice connecting your ideas more logically. Try to plan your answer briefly before speaking to improve coherence.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but not particularly sophisticated. While the student uses words like 'dramatically' and 'polluted,' more precise and varied vocabulary would enhance the response. Consider using synonyms and more descriptive language to enrich your vocabulary.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar contains several errors and inaccuracies. There are instances of incomplete sentences, incorrect word order, and unclear phrasing. Focus on improving sentence structure and grammatical accuracy. Practice using a wider range of grammatical structures, such as complex sentences, to demonstrate grammatical control.
