I think this isn't considered by the public because when we do that, the people who live there may criticize them and say it's impossible or unbelievable, and this may lead to stopping the research and even worse outcomes. But on the other hand, if we do it securely and without any publicity, it can be done more carefully and effectively. Eventually, we should show it to the public.

Task Response

The answer is partially relevant to the question, but it focuses more on potential negative consequences of public explanation rather than directly addressing the question of whether scientists should explain the research process to the public. Consider structuring your response to directly address the prompt and provide a balanced discussion of the benefits and drawbacks of public engagement in scientific research.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent, but the phrasing could be improved for greater fluency. The structure is a bit disjointed. Consider using smoother transitions between ideas. For example, instead of 'But on the other hand', a more sophisticated transition could be used.

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is adequate, but more precise and sophisticated word choices would elevate the response. Words like "outcomes" instead of "things" and more specific vocabulary related to scientific research would improve the lexical range.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammar is mostly accurate, but there are a few minor errors. The sentence 'it can be done, by the way, more carefully and more effectively' is slightly awkward. Improving grammatical accuracy and range will improve the overall score. Consider using more complex sentence structures.
