Band 6+: What are the ethical implications of personalized medicine and genetic engineering?

Your pronunciation is above average. However, you may find complexity in certain words challenging. Regular practice should aid in improvement.

The response addresses the ethical implications of personalized medicine and genetic engineering but could benefit from a more comprehensive exploration of the topic. Consider elaborating on the potential benefits and drawbacks, and providing a more balanced perspective. Providing specific examples or discussing different ethical viewpoints could strengthen the answer.

The response is generally coherent, but could benefit from more sophisticated cohesive devices to link ideas more smoothly. The structure is basic, presenting a single point. Try to develop multiple points with clear transitions between them. For example, you could discuss different ethical implications separately, such as privacy concerns, accessibility issues, and potential for misuse.

The vocabulary is adequate but lacks precision and variety. Words like 'problems' and 'harmfully affect' are vague. Use more specific and nuanced vocabulary related to ethics, genetics, and medicine. For example, instead of 'problems,' you could use 'genetic predispositions to diseases' or 'unforeseen health complications.' Instead of 'harmfully affect,' consider 'pose significant risks to' or 'have detrimental consequences for.'

The grammar is mostly accurate, but there are some errors that affect clarity. 'To start my point' is not idiomatic; use 'To begin' or 'Firstly.' 'They can be like a new generation which can have problems' is awkward. Rephrase as 'they can create a new generation that may have health problems.' Focus on using a wider range of grammatical structures and ensuring accuracy in complex sentences.
