Pronunciation

Your pronunciation is quite good. Working on consistency and tackling difficult sounds may enhance clarity.

Task Response

The answer is partially on topic, but it lacks depth and detail. Consider expanding on the factors mentioned, providing specific examples, and exploring other potential causes beyond age and depression. A more comprehensive and nuanced explanation would improve the response.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is understandable, but there's some repetition and slightly hesitant delivery. Improving the flow and reducing redundancy would enhance fluency. For example, instead of 'many factors but many ones,' simply say 'many factors.'

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but lacks precision. Words like 'rely on' and 'impact' could be replaced with more specific and sophisticated alternatives. For example, 'attributable to' or 'influence' would be more precise. The phrase 'in this mood' is also quite vague and could be improved.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are some grammatical errors. 'rely on many factors but many ones' is grammatically incorrect. The sentence structure is also somewhat simple. Using more complex sentence structures and ensuring subject-verb agreement would improve the grammatical range and accuracy. For example, instead of 'Depression is because of his impact on the brain,' consider 'Depression significantly impacts brain function.'

Do you think children should have photography at school?

That’s a very interesting question. Personally I believe that photography as a subject is not a necessary subject to be introduced in school. It’s not a basic skill unlike cooking or self-defense technique. So photography could be chosen as an optional subject if a child is interested in learning or pursuing photography, then he or […]

I will use Asana 64 for instance because I was living in Asana for 19 years and I was living in the right side of Asana 18 years and now I am living in the left side of Asana for two years. So I can just solve this difference between two time intervals when remote […]
