Task Response

The response addresses the ethical considerations of genetic engineering by mentioning potential health risks and increased inequality. To improve, consider elaborating on the specific types of health problems or inequalities that could arise. Providing more detailed examples or discussing the perspectives of different stakeholders would also strengthen the answer.

Fluency & Coherence

The response is generally coherent and easy to follow. The use of 'For example' and 'Another issue' helps to structure the answer. However, there could be more sophisticated cohesive devices to further enhance the flow. Consider using a wider range of linking words and phrases to connect ideas more smoothly.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate for discussing the topic, with words like 'ethical considerations,' 'genetic engineering,' 'health problems,' 'unfair advantages,' and 'inequality' being used appropriately. However, the range could be expanded with more specific and nuanced vocabulary related to genetics and ethics. For instance, instead of 'changing gents,' using 'altering genes' is more precise. Also, consider using synonyms or more advanced terms to demonstrate a broader lexical range.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is mostly accurate, with only a minor error ('gents' instead of 'genes'). The sentence structures are relatively simple but correct. To improve, try incorporating more complex sentence structures and a wider range of grammatical forms (e.g., conditional sentences, passive voice) to demonstrate greater grammatical flexibility. Pay attention to subject-verb agreement and correct word choice to maintain accuracy.
