Task Response

The answer is relevant and well-organized. Consider adding specific examples or details to further illustrate your points. For instance, you could mention the specific types of improvements needed or the impact of the current traffic situation on daily life.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent and well-structured. The phrasing is a bit hesitant at times ("I mean, we have to build"), but overall the ideas flow smoothly. Minor improvements in fluency could be achieved by using more concise language and avoiding unnecessary phrases like 'or so'.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate and appropriate for the topic. Words like "upgrade," "infrastructure," and "enhance" show a good range. However, more precise vocabulary could elevate the response. For example, instead of 'resolved or at least reduced,' consider using a more specific term like 'alleviated' or 'mitigated'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is mostly accurate, with only minor issues. The sentence 'the roads might be safer because there are no more potholes because of bad weather or so' is slightly awkward and grammatically less precise. The refined answer shows how to improve this. More complex grammatical structures could be incorporated to achieve a higher score.
