Pronunciation

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

Task Response

The answer is partially relevant to the question, but it does not directly address the condition of the roads. Focus on describing the physical state of the roads (e.g., potholes, smoothness, markings) to better answer the question. Avoid tangential discussions about traffic or the necessity of vehicles.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer lacks fluency. There is unnecessary repetition ("more and more") and the structure is not very coherent. The speaker struggles to express their ideas smoothly. Focus on organizing your thoughts before speaking and practice speaking more naturally without excessive repetition.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but not sophisticated. Words like "extensive" are used correctly, but the answer could benefit from more precise and varied vocabulary. Try to use more specific words to describe the road conditions and the traffic situation. For example, instead of "not essential," you could use words like "poor," "dangerous," or "inadequate."

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar contains several errors. The sentence structure is often awkward and grammatically incorrect. For example, "the accidents of roads have increased" is not grammatically correct. The speaker needs to improve their grammatical accuracy and range. Focus on sentence structure and correct use of articles and prepositions.
