Well, I have obtained much knowledge about the topic. However, I believe that advertisements and commercials do have a fair impact on how people shop. First of all, many people who have no knowledge about an area in which they are seeking products are likely to base their decisions on advertisements and commercials to decide which products to buy. However, some customers who are experts in an area tend to rely less on advertisements, which means that, depending on the person, advertisements will affect how people shop.

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-structured and addresses the question directly. However, it could benefit from more detailed examples and a broader exploration of the various ways advertising influences consumer behavior. Consider discussing different advertising techniques and their impact, and exploring the influence of advertising on brand loyalty and consumer choices beyond simply product selection.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent and mostly fluent. There is some repetition and slight hesitation ('likely to have, likely to base'). Improving the flow by removing the redundancy would enhance fluency.

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is adequate and mostly precise. Words like 'obtained much knowledge' could be replaced with more concise and natural phrasing, such as 'I'm familiar with this topic'. More sophisticated vocabulary could be used to describe the influence of advertising (e.g., 'subliminal messaging', 'consumer psychology').

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammar is mostly accurate, but there are a few minor errors ('to be bought' should be 'to buy', the phrasing 'based on people' is awkward). More complex grammatical structures could be used to express ideas more precisely and naturally.
