From my point of view, governments should prioritize the preservation of traditional local dialects because they are a huge part of the history of the country. People should recognize this because without these dialects, they wouldn't know about some historical changes, events, and so on. Dialects do not appear from scratch; they emerge from the mix of different cultures, which is a significant part of the country's history. The government should prioritize saving these local dialects. However, people should also know the main language of the country. For instance, we have some dialects in Ukraine, and these dialects should be preserved. At the same time, people should also know the main Ukrainian language, as it is a very valuable part of the country.

Pronunciation

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

Task Response

The response addresses the core of the question by arguing for the preservation of dialects due to their historical significance. However, the answer partially fails to meet the requirements of a Part 3 task because it shifts from a general discussion to personal/specific examples (mentioning Ukraine). In Part 3, the examiner expects a high level of abstraction; instead of focusing on a specific country, the response should discuss the concept of dialects and lingua francas on a global or societal scale. To improve, avoid using 'we' or specific national examples unless they are used as brief, generalized illustrations. Instead, expand on the implications for society, such as cultural identity versus economic necessity or global communication efficiency.

Fluency & Coherence

The speaker demonstrates a willingness to speak at length and provides a clear opinion. However, there is significant repetition of ideas and structures (e.g., repeating 'huge part of the history' and 'should prioritize'). The use of cohesive devices is somewhat limited, relying heavily on 'because' and 'and'. To improve, try using a wider variety of linking words such as 'Furthermore', 'Consequently', or 'In contrast' to connect your ideas more sophisticatedly.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is functional but quite basic and repetitive. Phrases like 'huge part', 'know about', and 'saving' are used multiple times. To reach a higher band, you should aim for more precise and academic terminology. Instead of 'huge part', use 'integral component' or 'vital aspect'. Instead of 'saving', use 'preserving' or 'safeguarding'. Instead of 'mix of different cultures', consider 'cultural amalgamation' or 'cultural fusion'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is generally accurate enough to convey meaning, but the sentence structures are quite simple and repetitive. There is a heavy reliance on 'because' to form complex sentences, which can make the speech feel like a run-on sentence. You should practice using a wider range of structures, such as conditional sentences ('If governments were to neglect dialects, then...') or relative clauses ('Dialects, which emerge from cultural mixing, are...') to demonstrate higher-level control.

Should governments prioritize the preservation of traditional local dialects over the promotion of a global lingua franca?

In my opinion, government should be focused on global communication or communication, new communication language. Why? Because the generation and bus, it’s different in the now generation and now generation and future. So you will be more flexible.
