Task Response

The response addresses the question by outlining differences in what people kept in the past versus today. It provides relevant examples, such as photos and cultural items from the past and technical devices today. To improve, consider expanding on the reasons behind these changes and providing a more detailed comparison.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is generally coherent and addresses the question directly. However, there are some pauses and hesitations that slightly affect the flow. To improve, practice speaking more smoothly and connecting ideas with appropriate linking words. Focus on maintaining a consistent pace and avoiding unnecessary pauses.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but could be more precise and varied. The phrase 'important items' is repeated. Try to use synonyms or more specific terms to describe what people kept. For example, instead of 'important items,' you could say 'family heirlooms,' 'treasured possessions,' or 'cultural artifacts.' Expanding your vocabulary will enhance the richness and impact of your response.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is mostly accurate, but there are a few errors that need attention. For example, 'keep their important items in their photo and photo of relatives' should be 'kept their important items in photos of relatives.' Also, 'remember tradition of this family' should be 'remembered the traditions of their family.' Pay closer attention to verb tenses and subject-verb agreement. Reviewing basic grammar rules and practicing sentence construction will help improve accuracy.
