Well, that's an interesting question. As far as I am concerned, in recent times, the food that people are eating has changed compared to the food they used to eat in the past. For instance, people used to eat very healthy food, but nowadays, due to the influence of social media, people are more into junk food, which is very unhealthy for our health. People are aware that they must eat healthy food, but they are also ignoring this fact, which is leading to diseases like hypertension and diabetes.

Your pronunciation is above average. However, you may find complexity in certain words challenging. Regular practice should aid in improvement.

Task Response

The answer is relevant to the question and provides a clear comparison between past and present eating habits. However, the response could benefit from more specific examples of dietary changes and a broader exploration of the reasons behind these shifts. Consider expanding on the types of traditional and modern foods, and exploring factors beyond social media influence.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent and mostly fluent. Minor repetition and self-correction could be improved for greater fluency. Consider pausing slightly more between sentences for better pacing and clarity.

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is adequate and mostly precise. More sophisticated vocabulary could be used to describe the changes in food habits. For example, instead of 'junk food,' consider using terms like 'processed foods' or 'fast food' for a more nuanced description. The phrase 'very unhealthy to our health' is slightly redundant; 'very unhealthy' is sufficient.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammar is mostly accurate, but there are a few errors. The sentence 'the food that people are eating have been changed' should be 'the food that people are eating has changed.' The phrase 'which are very unhealthy to our health' should be 'which is very unhealthy for our health.' While the meaning is clear, these errors detract from grammatical accuracy. More complex grammatical structures could be incorporated to enhance the response.
