For this question, I think it's highly dependent on individual nations' demand and supply. For some developed nations, such as European countries, which have reached the stage of industrialization and modernization, I think their priority should be environmental protection. However, they should also prioritize economic growth to have the finances to support an environmental campaign.

Your pronunciation is quite good. Working on consistency and tackling difficult sounds may enhance clarity.

Task Response

The response addresses the question by considering different contexts (developed vs. developing nations) and acknowledging the interdependence of economic growth and environmental protection. To improve, consider providing more specific examples or elaborating on the potential conflicts and synergies between economic growth and environmental protection.

Fluency & Coherence

The response is generally coherent, but there's room for improvement in structuring the argument more clearly. The use of 'I mean' is a bit informal and could be replaced with a more academic phrase. Try to use more signposting language to guide the listener through your argument.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but could be more precise. Using 'dependent on' instead of 'on' is a good start. Consider using synonyms for 'priority' to showcase a wider range of vocabulary. Also, 'finance' should be 'finances'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is mostly accurate, but there are a few minor errors. 'Industrialized and modernized' could be improved to 'industrialization and modernization'. The sentence structure is generally good, but varying sentence length and complexity could enhance the overall impression.
