Fluency & Coherence

The student speaks fluently with only a few minor hesitations, indicated by "uh." The answer is well-organized, with a clear structure that moves from the location to the benefits and then to a slight drawback. The use of "however" effectively introduces the contrasting point about feeling overwhelmed.
