Task Response

The answer is relevant and provides a reasonable explanation. Consider expanding on other contributing factors, such as technological advancements, globalization, and government policies, to further enrich your response.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent and mostly fluent. Minor repetition ("for better employment options such as improved living standards") could be avoided by combining those ideas. A more sophisticated transition between the reasons would improve fluency.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate, but could be more precise. Using 'urban urbanization' is redundant. More sophisticated vocabulary choices would elevate the response.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar contains some inaccuracies. The phrase 'in recent areas' is incorrect; it should be 'in recent years'. The sentence structure is a bit simple. More complex sentence structures and precise grammatical choices would improve the score.
