Pronunciation

5.5

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 is a good start, but it needs to directly address the question by outlining the advantages and disadvantages of shopping in small shops. The introduction is somewhat tangential. Focus on providing specific examples of advantages and disadvantages rather than focusing on the broader economic impact.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer demonstrates some coherence by stating an intention to discuss advantages and disadvantages. However, the fluency is hampered by grammatical errors and unclear phrasing. The introduction needs improvement; it's awkwardly structured and contains errors. Work on smoother transitions and sentence structure for better fluency.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is basic. While words like "merits" are used, more precise and sophisticated vocabulary related to the advantages and disadvantages of shopping in small stores would improve the score. The phrase 'its door hate to close' is particularly problematic and shows a lack of lexical precision. Expand your vocabulary related to business and economics.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammatical errors significantly impact the score. The sentence structure is often incorrect. For example, 'many people shopping at big shops instead of small ones is a trend' is grammatically flawed. Focus on improving sentence structure and subject-verb agreement. Practice using a wider range of grammatical structures.
