There are a few points that I dislike about my hometown. Especially the water and plumbing system, because my hometown has difficult access to clean water, especially during Galungan and Kuningan days. So we have to hold water in a sun bucket. On the other hand, the weather in my hometown is very hot and dry, and it can be quite noisy.

Pronunciation

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 well-organized and coherent, directly addressing the question with specific examples. Consider expanding on the impact of these issues on daily life or providing a more detailed description of the noise pollution to enrich your response.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent and mostly fluent. Minor issues with phrasing ('Especially is a water and plumbing system') could be improved with slightly more sophisticated sentence structures. The use of 'The other side' is a little informal; 'On the other hand' is a better alternative, as used in the refined answer. Overall, the ideas are presented in a logical order.

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is adequate but not highly sophisticated. Words like 'sunbucket' are understandable but less precise than a more descriptive term. Using more specific vocabulary to describe the noise would improve the answer. The range of vocabulary is sufficient for the task.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammar is mostly accurate, but there are some minor errors ('Especially is...'). Sentence structures are simple, and while understandable, more complex grammatical structures would enhance the answer. The use of 'should hold water' instead of 'have to store water' is slightly inaccurate. Improving grammatical accuracy and range would elevate the score.
