15. 3.Delivery

The speaker's delivery could use some improvement. The speech is not very fluid and has occasional pauses, which disrupt the flow of the response. Additionally, there are some pronunciation issues that make it difficult to understand certain words. To improve, the speaker should practice speaking more fluidly and work on their pronunciation to ensure clarity.

4.Topic Development The topic development in the response is adequate but could be better. The speaker does mention the negative effects of solar panel use on animal habitats and natural resources, but the examples provided are not well-explained or connected to the main points. To improve, the speaker should focus on providing clearer explanations and making stronger connections between ideas, as well as including more specific examples to support their points.

Original: Professor explained using solar energy got popular, but using this solar panel has negative effects in the earth. First, he mentions that by using this solar panel, animal habitat got disrupted and a lot of the land that they are living got reduced and they had little available land to live. And Professor states that in the United States, by the people, by increasing the use of this solar panels, they shrinking natural habitat of a specific type of species animal. In addition, it may cause a natural, it may use other natural resources that rather than gas and coal, for example, these panels need to be cooled down and they need to water to achieve this. And in this thesis, as the water are...

Corrected: Professor explained explained that using solar energy got has become popular, but using this solar panel these solar panels has negative effects in on the earth. First, he mentions that by using this solar panel these solar panels, animal habitats got disrupted and a lot of the land that they are living got reduced(change "got" to "has become" for proper tense; change "in" to "on" for correct preposition; change "this solar panel" to "these solar panels" for correct plural form). And Professor states that in the United States, by the people, by increasing the use of this solar panels these solar panels, they shrinking are shrinking the natural habitat of a specific type of species animal. In addition, it may cause a natural, it may use other natural resources that rather than gas and coal, for example, these panels need to be cooled down and they need to water to achieve this. And in this thesis, as the water are...(change "this solar panels" to "these solar panels" for correct plural form; change "shrinking" to "are shrinking the" for proper verb tense)

Revised Answer (140 words): The professor explained that using solar energy has become popular, but these solar panels have negative effects on the earth. First, he mentioned that by using these solar panels, animal habitats are disrupted and a significant amount of land is reduced, leaving little available land for animals to live. The professor stated that in the United States, by increasing the use of these solar panels, people are shrinking the natural habitat of specific animal species. In addition, using solar energy may consume other natural resources instead of gas and coal. For example, these panels need to be cooled down and require water to achieve this. In areas where water is scarce, such as deserts, using large amounts of water for cooling solar panels can have negative consequences on the environment.
