Great question. Some people think that shopping online is a better choice for them because they can easily save time by staying at home and looking at many options for the clothes they prefer. Besides that, the prices on online platforms like Shopee or Tiki are more affordable, which makes them feel over the moon and acceptable. But on the other hand, I think they should go to the shopping center to see the exact quality of the products so they cannot receive the scum goods.

Pronunciation

Your pronunciation is above average. However, you may find complexity in certain words challenging. Regular practice should aid in improvement.

Task Response

The answer addresses the question by discussing reasons for online shopping, such as time-saving and affordability, and provides specific examples. However, it shifts to a personal opinion about preferring in-store shopping, which is not directly asked. To improve, focus solely on explaining why people generally like shopping online, using broader perspectives and avoiding personal recommendations or counterarguments.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer has a basic structure with an introduction and a contrasting point, but it lacks smooth transitions and contains some hesitation ('Hmm'). The ideas are not fully developed, and the coherence is weakened by unclear phrasing ('the closest which they refer', 'lat france'). To improve, use clearer signposting (e.g., 'Firstly... Secondly... However...') and practice speaking without fillers. Expand on each point with specific examples.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is limited and contains errors ('closest' instead of 'clothes', 'lat france' instead of 'platforms', 'commoses' instead of 'products', 'scum goods' instead of 'poor quality goods'). Some phrases are used inappropriately ('over the moon' is too informal for this context). To improve, learn precise shopping-related vocabulary (e.g., 'convenience', 'variety', 'competitive prices', 'product quality') and practice using them in context.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar has several errors: 'save time to stay' should be 'save time by staying', 'the prices... should have' is incorrect (should be 'are'), 'which make them feel' should be 'which makes them feel', and 'so they cannot receive' is awkward (should be 'so they don't receive'). Sentence structures are mostly simple. To improve, practice using a mix of simple and complex sentences, and review subject-verb agreement and prepositions.
