Pronunciation

Your pronunciation is quite good. Working on consistency and tackling difficult sounds may enhance clarity.

Task Response

The answer is quite good and covers the main aspects of the question. To improve, consider expanding on the advantages mentioned, providing more specific examples, and exploring a wider range of benefits beyond employment and services. A more detailed explanation of each point would strengthen the response.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent and well-structured. Minor repetition ('I mean that with better income, especially') could be avoided for improved fluency. The phrasing could be more natural in places; for example, instead of 'subtle access,' 'easy access' is more idiomatic. Overall, the ideas flow logically.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate and mostly accurate. Words like 'higher-class jobs' are a bit informal; more precise terms like 'higher-paying jobs' or 'more prestigious positions' would be better. The range of vocabulary is sufficient for the task, but more sophisticated vocabulary would elevate the response.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are some grammatical inaccuracies. 'Subtle access' is incorrect; it should be 'easy access'. The sentence 'And in fact it's a better place for children to enhance their knowledge and be graduated under better educational system' is grammatically flawed. It should be something like 'It offers better educational opportunities for children.' While the overall message is clear, more precise grammar is needed for a higher score.
