Lexical Resource

The student uses a range of vocabulary related to history, including 'ancient times,' 'Roman Empire,' 'ancient Greek,' 'Russian history,' and 'emphasized.' However, the vocabulary could be more precise and varied. For example, instead of 'emphasized,' they could use a more specific verb like 'focused on' or 'concentrated on.'

The student demonstrates good grammatical control, using a variety of sentence structures and tenses. However, there are a few minor errors, such as the use of 'romania emperia' instead of 'Roman Empire' and the slightly awkward phrasing 'from the 16th century to the beginning of the 20th century.'
