From my perspective, when we're talking about the potential drawbacks of globalization on local cultures and traditions, I think it has many problems. The first thing I want to discuss is that it can lead to the loss of many values of a country because, in globalization, people usually spend more time working and earning money. Moreover, most people live in urban areas, which can diminish traditional values like honoring ancestors or enjoying traditional food. For example, in Vietnam, we have the anniversary to honor our ancestors, but if people live in a city, it can be hard for them to travel to rural areas to celebrate with family.

Pronunciation

Your pronunciation is average. It is understandable but not always accurate. Focusing on the rhythm and stress patterns of English could prove beneficial.

Task Response

The response addresses the question by discussing the loss of traditional values due to globalization. It provides a relevant example to support the point. To improve, consider expanding on the drawbacks and providing a broader range of potential issues beyond just the loss of values. Also, try to avoid using personal pronouns and focus on general trends.

Fluency & Coherence

The response is somewhat coherent, but there are noticeable hesitations and reformulations. The organization of ideas is present but could be clearer with better use of cohesive devices. Try to minimize pauses and self-corrections to improve fluency. Practice structuring your answers more logically, perhaps using signposting phrases to guide the listener.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but lacks precision and variety. There are some inaccuracies in word choice (e.g., '10 total packs' instead of 'impacts'). Expand your vocabulary related to cultural and economic topics. Focus on using more precise and nuanced language to express your ideas effectively.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammatical range is limited, and there are several grammatical errors that affect clarity (e.g., 'it can load some traditional values,' 'people of ancestor who would bat doubt'). Work on improving your accuracy with basic grammatical structures and expanding your range of sentence structures. Pay attention to verb tenses, articles, and prepositions.
