Well, there are several reasons why some people still use cash. Firstly, it's a matter of habit and comfort. Many generations are accustomed to using cash for transactions. It might be easier to manage and track. Furthermore, cash is universally acceptable and doesn't depend on technology, which can be unreliable and unavailable in some areas, such as rural and mountainous regions.

Task Response

The student provides a good response to the question, outlining two reasons why people still use cash. However, the answer could be more specific and detailed. For example, the student could elaborate on the 'habit and comfort' point by mentioning that some people may find it easier to budget with cash or that they prefer the physical act of exchanging money. The student could also provide more specific examples of areas where technology is unreliable, such as remote villages or areas with poor internet connectivity.

Fluency & Coherence

The student's speech is generally fluent, but there are some hesitations and repetitions, particularly in the second part of the answer. The student could improve their fluency by practicing speaking more naturally and avoiding filler words like 'um' and 'uh'. The student also uses some cohesive devices, such as 'furthermore', but could use more to improve the coherence of their answer.

Lexical Resource

The student uses a range of vocabulary, but some of the words are not used accurately or precisely. For example, the student uses 'taki bo' instead of 'track' and 'unaluable' instead of 'unavailable'. The student could improve their lexical resource by expanding their vocabulary and paying attention to the correct usage of words.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The student demonstrates a good range of grammatical structures, but there are some errors in grammar and punctuation. For example, the student uses 'is' instead of 'it's' and 'animal' instead of 'areas'. The student could improve their grammatical accuracy by paying attention to subject-verb agreement and using correct articles and prepositions.
