Task Response

The response provides a general overview of ethical considerations related to genetic engineering. To improve, consider providing specific examples of ethical concerns, such as potential misuse, unequal access, or unforeseen consequences. Additionally, elaborating on the benefits and risks associated with these technologies would strengthen the answer.

Fluency & Coherence

The response is somewhat difficult to follow due to a lack of clear organization and cohesive devices. There are instances of repetition and self-correction, which disrupt the flow of speech. To improve, focus on structuring your answer with clear topic sentences and transitions between ideas. Practice using cohesive devices like 'furthermore,' 'however,' and 'in addition' to link your thoughts more effectively.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is basic and lacks precision. There are instances of inaccurate word choice (e.g., 'calculations,' 'oral ages'). To enhance your lexical resource, try to incorporate more specific and nuanced vocabulary related to the topic of genetic engineering. Read articles and listen to discussions on the subject to expand your vocabulary and learn how to use it appropriately.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The response contains several grammatical errors, including incorrect verb tenses, subject-verb agreement issues, and awkward sentence structures. For example, 'The reason I'm going to debate over with its calculations' is grammatically incorrect. To improve, focus on mastering basic grammar rules and practicing sentence construction. Review grammar concepts and do exercises to reinforce your understanding. Consider getting feedback on your writing to identify and correct recurring errors.
