Task Response

The answer is relevant to the question and provides a clear opinion. Consider expanding on the reasons for the increased cost of eating out and providing more specific examples to illustrate your points. A more detailed comparison between eating out and cooking at home would strengthen the response.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent and mostly fluent. Minor repetition and slight unnatural phrasing ('an arm and a leg' could be replaced with a more natural expression) are present, but overall the ideas flow logically.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate and mostly accurate. The phrase 'an arm and a leg' is a bit informal for this context. More sophisticated vocabulary could be used to describe the cost of eating out (e.g., 'prohibitively expensive').

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are some grammatical inaccuracies. The sentence structure is sometimes awkward. For example, 'the price of restaurants is increased' should be 'the price of eating out has increased' or 'restaurant prices have increased'. The use of 'have a breakfast' and 'have a dinner' is slightly unnatural; 'eat breakfast' and 'eat dinner' would be more natural. More precise grammatical structures would improve the score.
