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 relevant to the question and provides some information about the types of buildings. However, it could be improved by providing more specific examples and details about the different types of buildings, and elaborating on the historical architectural design mentioned. A wider range of building types would strengthen the response.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent and well-organized. The introduction is a bit lengthy, and could be more concise. Minor repetition ('residents') could be avoided with more varied vocabulary. Smoothness of delivery would improve the score.

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is adequate but not highly sophisticated. Words like "primarily" and "commercial" show good range, but more precise and varied vocabulary would elevate the response. The phrase 'historical structural design' is slightly inaccurate; 'architectural design' would be more precise.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammar is mostly accurate with only minor errors ('in the central of Vietnam' should be 'in central Vietnam'). Sentence structures are varied, but more complex grammatical structures would enhance the response.
