Task Response

The response addresses the question but lacks depth and specific examples. Expanding on the reasons why governments should fund scientific research and providing concrete examples would strengthen the answer.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is generally coherent, but there are some hesitations. The use of 'Nevertheless' is appropriate, but the overall flow could be smoother. Try to expand on your points to create a more developed argument. Practice speaking more fluently on unfamiliar topics by thinking of related ideas or examples.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but somewhat limited. Words like 'improvements' and 'increase' are used, but there's a lack of more sophisticated or precise language. Try to incorporate a wider range of vocabulary related to science, government, and funding. For example, use 'innovation' instead of 'improvements'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is mostly accurate, with only minor errors. The sentence structure is relatively simple. Aim to use a wider range of grammatical structures, such as complex sentences, to express more nuanced ideas. For example, you could use conditional sentences or relative clauses to add depth to your answer.
