Enough ideas and details, in a clear order.

Vocabulary

The right words for the topic and the person.

Listenability

Easy to follow: calm pace, clear sentences.

Task fulfillment

Vocabulary is one of the four. The goal is the right word for the situation, not the longest one. That's what this workbook trains.
