I believe that electronic devices have both positive and negative impacts on people. On the one hand, these tools allow everyone to look for materials they need anytime and anywhere. Besides, we can also contact our loved ones easily as well as keep up with changes on the internet. However, there are still some people who rely too much on technical tools like AI and robots, so they cannot do some basic activities by themselves.

Pronunciation

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

Task Response

The answer stays on topic and addresses both positive and negative impacts, which is appropriate for the question. It is presented in a general manner, avoiding personal anecdotes. To improve, consider providing more specific examples or elaborating on the consequences of over-reliance on devices, and ensure a balanced discussion of both sides. Additionally, using more precise vocabulary and varied sentence structures would enhance the response.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is logically organized with a clear introduction and balanced discussion of positive and negative impacts. Cohesive devices like 'On the one hand' and 'However' are used appropriately. However, there is a minor issue with the phrase 'keep up with chance on the internet' which is unclear and disrupts coherence. The answer could be more fully developed with additional examples or elaboration to enhance fluency and coherence.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is adequate and appropriate for the topic, with words like 'positive and negative impact', 'rely too much', and 'technical tools'. However, there are some imprecise word choices, such as 'contact with' instead of 'contact' and 'chance' instead of 'changes'. The range of vocabulary is somewhat limited, and more precise and varied lexical items could be used to achieve a higher score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The answer demonstrates a reasonable range of grammatical structures, including complex sentences with 'On the one hand' and 'However'. However, there are several grammatical errors: 'devices have both positive and negative impact' should be 'impacts', 'these tools allows' should be 'allow', and 'contact with' should be 'contact'. The sentence 'so they cannot do some basic activity' should be 'activities'. These errors, while not impeding understanding, prevent the answer from achieving a higher band score.

When do most children begin to make their own decisions?

Well, I think it depends on the culture of eight countries. You know, in Western countries, parents often teach their children to be independent.
