While increased automation may help us perform actions more easily without requiring the human labor force, I believe it has a few drawbacks. For instance, many people who are in charge of manufacturing, let's say industrial products, might lose their jobs. Not just that, our reliance on automation may increase drastically. To be honest, machines are not creative at all, so it also loses creativity in the products made by machines. So, yeah, those are the benefits and drawbacks of automation.

Pronunciation

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

Task Response

The response addresses the question by discussing both benefits and drawbacks of automation. However, the points could be further elaborated with more specific examples and a wider range of ideas. Consider expanding on the potential benefits to provide a more balanced perspective.

Fluency & Coherence

The response is generally coherent, but there are some hesitations and fillers ('let's say', 'like', 'to be honest', 'so yeah') that slightly disrupt the flow. Try to minimize these fillers by pausing to think before speaking. The organization of ideas is clear, but could be enhanced with more sophisticated linking words or phrases to connect the benefits and drawbacks more explicitly.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate for discussing the topic, but it lacks precision and variety. The phrase 'human labor force' is appropriate. To improve, try to incorporate more specific and nuanced vocabulary related to automation and its impact on the service industry. For example, instead of 'people might lose their jobs,' you could say 'automation could lead to widespread unemployment in certain sectors.'

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is mostly accurate, but there are a few minor errors ('may help us to perform' could be 'may help us perform'). The range of structures is somewhat limited. To improve, aim to use a wider variety of sentence structures, including complex sentences with subordinate clauses, to express more nuanced ideas. For example, instead of 'machines are not creative at all,' you could say 'one significant drawback is that machines, lacking inherent creativity, may produce standardized outputs.'
