Pronunciation

Your pronunciation is average. It is understandable but not always accurate. Focusing on the rhythm and stress patterns of English could prove beneficial.

Task Response

The response addresses the question directly and provides a clear stance. To improve, elaborate on the reasons why companies should be held responsible and provide specific examples of the environmental impact of supply chains. Consider discussing the complexities and challenges involved in holding companies accountable. The response could be expanded as it currently feels quite brief.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is somewhat coherent but contains repetition ('the animals, animals, the effects people, they affected even the air, even the air they affected'). This impacts fluency. Try to avoid repeating phrases and ideas without adding new information. Use linking words to connect your ideas more smoothly.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is basic and lacks precision. While the words used are relevant, the range is limited. To improve, try to incorporate more specific and varied vocabulary related to environmental impact and supply chains. For example, instead of 'impact the environment,' you could use 'degrade ecosystems' or 'contribute to environmental degradation.'

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is generally understandable, but there are some inaccuracies and a lack of complexity. The sentence structure is simple. To improve, aim for more complex sentence structures and ensure correct subject-verb agreement and tense usage. For example, instead of multiple short sentences, combine them using conjunctions or relative clauses.
