Pronunciation

Your pronunciation is above average. However, you may find complexity in certain words challenging. Regular practice should aid in improvement.

Task Response

The response addresses the question but could benefit from a broader perspective on the downsides of globalization. The example provided is relevant but could be linked more explicitly to the overarching concept of globalization's overlooked disadvantages. To improve, consider discussing a wider range of potential downsides and providing more general explanations.

Fluency & Coherence

The response is somewhat coherent but contains noticeable hesitations and self-corrections, which affect the flow of speech. The organization of ideas could be improved for better clarity. Try to minimize pauses and use linking words more effectively to connect your ideas smoothly.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but lacks precision and variety. The candidate uses simple words and phrases. To improve, try to incorporate more specific and sophisticated vocabulary related to globalization and international relations. For example, instead of saying 'not good for,' you could say 'detrimental to' or 'undermines'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The response contains grammatical errors that occasionally impede understanding. There are issues with sentence structure and verb tense agreement. For example, 'that happen in globalization that are often seen by people' is awkward. Focus on using a wider range of grammatical structures accurately. Practice constructing complex sentences and ensure correct verb usage.
