Pronunciation

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 addresses the question by comparing items kept in the past and present. To improve, provide more specific examples and elaborate on the reasons behind these differences. Consider discussing the impact of technology and consumer culture on what people choose to keep.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is somewhat coherent, but there are some pauses and reformulations that affect the flow. Try to organize your thoughts more clearly before speaking to improve coherence. Using discourse markers can also help.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but lacks precision. The word 'trivial' is not quite appropriate in this context. Try to use more specific and varied vocabulary to express your ideas more accurately.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical errors, such as incorrect verb forms ('This happens for often used') and awkward phrasing ('people didn't show them and make them easily'). Focus on using correct grammar and sentence structure to improve accuracy. Review basic grammar rules and practice constructing more complex sentences.
