Well, it is a difficult question for me because, to be honest, in Indonesia, our awareness about scientific research and findings is very low. The reason is that our media does not highlight the development of research and findings itself. It is quite shameful for a researcher like me that Indonesia doesn't care about the development of research because we know that technology resulting from scientific research is very important to sustain our lives. That's why I am a little disappointed about this condition right now. I hope in the future that Indonesia will become more aware of the development of research so it can be applied, and everyone will know what the hot issues are that emerge around them. This way, they will know what to do and what proposals for research can be presented to the government.

Pronunciation

Your pronunciation is quite good. Working on consistency and tackling difficult sounds may enhance clarity.

Task Response

The response addresses the question but includes some personal opinions and experiences, which reduces the generality expected in Part 3. To improve, focus on providing a more general overview of how media influences public perception, possibly discussing different types of media and their potential impacts.

Fluency & Coherence

The response is generally coherent, but there are some instances of hesitation and slight disorganization. The ideas are connected, but the flow could be smoother. Try to minimize pauses and use cohesive devices more effectively to link your ideas together. For example, you could use phrases like 'Furthermore,' 'In addition to,' or 'Consequently' to enhance the logical progression of your points.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but could be more precise and varied. The candidate uses words like 'highlighting,' 'shameful,' 'disappointing,' and 'emerged,' which are appropriate, but the range could be broader. To improve, try to incorporate more specific and nuanced vocabulary related to media influence and scientific research. For example, instead of 'highlighting,' you could use 'disseminating,' 'publicizing,' or 'emphasizing.' Instead of 'shameful,' consider 'regrettable' or 'disconcerting.'

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammatical range is good, with a mix of simple and complex sentences. However, there are some errors that affect clarity, such as 'Indonesia doesn't want to care about the development of the research' and 'that's why I a little bit disappointing.' These errors could be corrected to 'Indonesia doesn't seem to care about the development of research' and 'that's why I am a little disappointed.' Pay attention to subject-verb agreement and correct use of adjectives and adverbs. Practice using a wider range of grammatical structures accurately to enhance your score.
