Hello. Okay, I will give my opinion about technology for a better life. The first thing I want to say is that technology always aims to do better things for my life. What I have learned about technology is that it has improved life, increased efficiency, and enhanced many aspects of our lives. For example, we have a friend in New Zealand, and we can video call from Jakarta or anywhere in the world. We can just call and see our friends on the screen. That's how technology can improve life in social aspects. Thank you.

The answer is relevant to the topic and provides a clear opinion. However, to achieve a higher score, it would benefit from more detailed examples and a broader exploration of technology's impact on various aspects of life. Consider discussing the influence of technology on areas such as healthcare, education, or the environment, and provide more specific examples to support your points. The response could be expanded as it currently feels quite brief.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is understandable, but there are noticeable hesitations ('uh', 'um') and repetitions. Improving fluency would involve smoother transitions between ideas and reducing filler words. Practice speaking at a consistent pace and try to plan your response beforehand to avoid unnecessary pauses.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but lacks precision and range. Words like 'many improve' are repetitive and imprecise. Using more specific vocabulary to describe the impact of technology (e.g., 'streamlined communication,' 'enhanced connectivity') would significantly improve this aspect. Try to incorporate more sophisticated vocabulary related to technology and its effects.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical errors, such as 'wa want I know' and incorrect sentence structures. While the message is generally clear, improving grammatical accuracy is crucial. Focus on sentence structure, subject-verb agreement, and correct use of articles. Review basic grammar rules and practice constructing more complex sentences.
