These techniques should be allowed only in the case of diseases. This will reduce the misuse of this tool. A person who has no idea about it might use genetic engineering in the wrong way to improve their appearance, and this should not be allowed.

Task Response

The response addresses the question by discussing the ethical considerations of genetic engineering, particularly regarding its potential misuse. To improve, consider expanding on the ethical implications of personalized medicine as well, and providing more detailed examples or arguments to support your points.

Fluency & Coherence

The response is somewhat coherent, but there are noticeable hesitations and a lack of smooth flow. The ideas are presented, but the connections between them could be clearer. Try to organize your thoughts more logically before speaking and use cohesive devices to link your ideas together more effectively. For example, use phrases like 'Furthermore,' 'In addition,' or 'On the other hand' to transition between points.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but lacks precision and variety. The candidate uses basic words and phrases but doesn't demonstrate a wide range of vocabulary related to the topic of personalized medicine and genetic engineering. To improve, try to learn more specific vocabulary related to ethics, genetics, and medicine. Use synonyms and paraphrasing to avoid repetition and show a greater command of the language.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammatical range is limited, and there are several errors in sentence structure and word choice. For example, 'if I can say to be ethical' is awkward, and 'unless you have a profile' is not the most precise way to express the idea. Focus on using a wider range of grammatical structures and ensuring that your sentences are grammatically correct. Practice using complex sentences and different verb tenses to improve your accuracy and range.
