I firmly believe that there are many advantages and disadvantages of globalization for local businesses. For benefits, I'd say that it helps them grow and become known by more people, which actually increases their economy. However, at the same time, it's really hard to keep growing because of high costs, and it requires significant infrastructure and many resources to maintain that growth.

Task Response

The response addresses the question by discussing both benefits and drawbacks of globalization for smaller businesses. The ideas are relevant, but could be further developed with specific examples or more detailed explanations to enhance clarity and depth.

Fluency & Coherence

The response is generally coherent, but there are some minor hesitations and a slight lack of flow. Using more varied cohesive devices could improve the overall structure. For example, instead of repeating 'at the same time,' consider using alternatives like 'conversely' or 'on the other hand.'

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but could be more precise. While words like 'bigger' and 'high costs' are understandable, replacing them with more sophisticated terms like 'expand their market reach' and 'substantial operational expenses' would enhance the lexical quality.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is mostly accurate, but there's room for improvement in sentence structure. For instance, the phrase 'it helps them to get bigger, to be known by more people' could be streamlined for better clarity and conciseness. Aim for more complex sentence structures to demonstrate a wider grammatical range.
