Task Response

The student correctly identifies air travel as expensive, but the answer is a bit disjointed. The student could have elaborated on the reasons why air travel is expensive, such as fuel costs, airport fees, and the cost of maintaining aircraft. The student also mentions the benefits of air travel, which is not directly relevant to the question.

Fluency & Coherence

The student's speech is somewhat hesitant and contains some repetition. The answer lacks a clear structure and could be more organized. The student could have used more cohesive devices to connect their ideas, such as 'for example' or 'in addition to.'

Lexical Resource

The student uses a good range of vocabulary, but there are some minor errors, such as 'tly rice feible' instead of 'fly, it's feasible.' The student could have used more specific vocabulary to describe the cost of air travel, such as 'exorbitant' or 'prohibitive.'

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The student makes a few grammatical errors, such as 'types of transport' instead of 'type of transport' and 'they are the fasted' instead of 'they are the fastest.' The student could have used more complex grammatical structures to express their ideas more effectively.
