Task Response

The answer is somewhat relevant to the question but lacks depth and detailed comparison. It focuses more on personal preference and doesn't fully explore the inherent differences between the two mediums. Consider discussing differences in narrative structure, sensory experience, and the role of imagination, for example.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is understandable, but the structure could be improved. The comparison between paper books and movies is not clearly structured. Try to use more comparative language (e.g., 'whereas,' 'unlike,' 'in contrast'). Also, reduce repetition; the point about reading anywhere is made twice. Focus on highlighting key differences rather than just listing advantages of each.

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is adequate but lacks precision. Phrases like "many kinds of stories" are a bit general. Try to use more specific vocabulary to describe the differences (e.g., 'narrative depth,' 'visual storytelling,' 'immersive experience').

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical errors. 'of it is very convenient' should be 'is very convenient' or 'because they are very convenient'. 'paper books has offers' should be 'paper books offer'. The sentence structure is sometimes awkward. Work on sentence combining and using a wider range of grammatical structures (e.g., passive voice, relative clauses) to improve accuracy and fluency.
