There are some huge dilemmas associated with the use of facial recognition technology in public places. Firstly, there's your privacy and your rights. And secondly, it can work incorrectly. The AI used here is not so great and won't give enough information. So if something wrong is done, you can be found guilty but you're not. And that's talking about privacy, which is definitely about yourself and your rights. If you don't want to tell anybody about you, your age should be hidden to avoid some huge problems, like troubles with your group and ethical group, and you didn't want to tell everybody who you are, like people in Japan. It should be fixed just through these documents should be converted into private files that can be used only for specific situations.

Pronunciation

Your pronunciation is quite good. Working on consistency and tackling difficult sounds may enhance clarity.

Task Response

The answer addresses the question by identifying two ethical dilemmas: privacy concerns and inaccuracies in the technology. However, the response lacks depth and clarity. The discussion of privacy is somewhat vague and includes an unclear example about Japan. The suggestion for addressing the dilemmas is underdeveloped and not clearly linked to the benefits of the technology. To improve, provide a more structured response with clear points, elaborate on each dilemma with specific examples, and propose balanced solutions that maintain the technology's benefits.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer has a basic structure with an introduction and some points, but it lacks clear organization and cohesive devices. There is noticeable repetition and self-correction, and the flow is disrupted by unclear phrasing and incomplete ideas. To improve, use clear topic sentences and linking words (e.g., 'firstly', 'moreover', 'in conclusion') to guide the listener. Practice developing each point fully before moving to the next.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is limited and sometimes imprecise. Phrases like 'huge dilemmas', 'work wrong', and 'troubles with your group and ethical group' are awkward or unclear. There is some attempt at using topic-related words (e.g., 'privacy', 'rights', 'AI'), but the range is narrow. To improve, learn and use precise terms such as 'ethical concerns', 'misidentification', 'false positives', 'data protection', and 'regulatory frameworks'. Also, avoid vague expressions and aim for more specific and varied vocabulary.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The answer contains several grammatical errors and awkward structures. For example, 'that's your privacy and your rights' is informal and unclear, 'it can work wrong' is incorrect (should be 'it can work incorrectly'), and 'should be fixed just through these documents should be converted' is a run-on sentence. There is limited range of grammatical structures, with mostly simple sentences. To improve, practice using a variety of sentence structures (e.g., complex sentences with relative clauses, conditionals) and ensure subject-verb agreement and correct word forms. Proofreading and self-correction are essential.
