If a country focuses on economic growth while environmental resources are not sustainable, I think it's one method that lowers the chances of development in the country. When there is economic growth, there are disadvantages like pollution, industrial issues, and others. That's why I think prioritizing is most important: equal economic growth and environmental sustainability. The long-term potential of all this will be available for everyone. However, it's sad.

Pronunciation

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

Task Response

The response addresses the question but could benefit from more specific examples and a clearer explanation of the long-term consequences. Consider elaborating on the potential environmental and societal impacts to strengthen your argument.

Fluency & Coherence

The response is somewhat coherent, but there are noticeable pauses and hesitations that affect the flow. The ideas are generally connected, but the organization could be improved. Try to use more cohesive devices to link your ideas together smoothly. 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 word choice is sometimes basic (e.g., 'others'). To improve, try to use more specific and nuanced vocabulary related to economics and environmental sustainability. For example, instead of 'industrial issues,' you could say 'industrial emissions' or 'resource depletion.'

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammatical range is limited, and there are several errors that affect clarity (e.g., 'environmental Red is sustainable,' 'economical growth'). There are also issues with sentence structure and word order. Focus on using a wider range of grammatical structures and ensuring accuracy in your sentence construction. Practice using complex sentences and varied verb tenses.
