Okay, we should start with the advantages of globalization for small local businesses. First, it provides valuable experience. It's not like big businesses, where if people invest a lot of money and the business goes down, they lose a significant amount. Local and small businesses can test the waters and gain valuable experience, which will help in the future if you want to open a bigger business of your own. So I think, first of all, is experience. The downside is that there are some risks involved.

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 by discussing both advantages and disadvantages of globalization for small businesses. However, the points could be further developed with more specific examples and a more balanced discussion of both sides. Consider elaborating on the risks involved to provide a more comprehensive answer.

Fluency & Coherence

The response is somewhat coherent, but there are noticeable pauses and hesitations that disrupt the flow. The organization of ideas could be clearer. Try to use more signposting language to guide the listener. For example, use phrases like 'On the one hand...' and 'On the other hand...' to present advantages and disadvantages more distinctly.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is basic and lacks precision. There are instances of imprecise word choice (e.g., 'big monies'). To improve, focus on using more specific and varied vocabulary related to business and globalization. For example, instead of 'big monies,' you could say 'significant investment' or 'substantial capital'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammatical errors are frequent and sometimes impede understanding. Examples include incorrect verb tenses ('is money is also just being not so big') and awkward sentence structures. Focus on practicing basic grammar rules and sentence construction. Try to use a mix of simple and complex sentences to demonstrate a wider range, but ensure accuracy.
