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 by identifying some drawbacks of globalization for smaller businesses, such as increased competition from online markets and reduced face-to-face communication. To improve, consider elaborating on these points with specific examples or further explanations of the impacts on local businesses. Additionally, exploring a wider range of potential drawbacks could strengthen the answer.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer contains noticeable hesitations and repetitions ('especially for a little and for businesses especially and for small markets and you know'). The ideas are somewhat connected, but the overall flow could be improved with better use of cohesive devices. Try to minimize filler words and pauses by practicing speaking on similar topics.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but lacks precision and variety. The phrase 'locomotive are less favored rather than online one' is not entirely accurate. Expand your vocabulary related to business and economics to express ideas more effectively. For example, use 'local businesses' instead of 'locomotive'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The answer contains grammatical errors and awkward phrasing ('locomotive are less favored rather than online one'). While the basic sentence structures are present, there's a need for more complex and accurate constructions. Focus on practicing sentence structures and reviewing basic grammar rules to improve accuracy.
