Lexical Resource

A wide range of vocabulary is used appropriately, with some less common terms and precise language. There are minor spelling errors (e.g., 'ingaged' instead of 'engaged', 'Buth' instead of 'But') and a slight inaccuracy ('new audiences' instead of 'new participants'). Overall, lexical control is strong and communication is clear.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

A variety of complex structures is used with good control. Grammar and punctuation are generally accurate, with only minor errors (e.g., '3 millions' should be '3 million', 'milllion' misspelled). These do not impede understanding. More attention to subject-verb agreement and singular/plural forms would improve accuracy.
