Your pronunciation is average. It is understandable but not always accurate. Focusing on the rhythm and stress patterns of English could prove beneficial.

Task Response

The answer is relevant to the question and provides some information about the changes in the hometown. However, the response is quite brief and lacks detail. Consider expanding on the changes mentioned, providing specific examples, and elaborating on your personal experiences related to these changes. A more detailed and developed response would improve the overall score.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is understandable, but the structure could be improved. There's some repetition and slightly hesitant delivery. Try to plan your response briefly before speaking to improve fluency and coherence. A more structured approach, perhaps using a clear topic sentence and supporting details, would enhance the overall flow.

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is adequate but lacks precision. Phrases like "more things" are imprecise. Using more specific vocabulary to describe the changes would improve the score. For example, instead of 'changed new buildings,' you could say 'new buildings have been constructed' or 'modern buildings have replaced older ones'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are some grammatical errors, such as 'My hometown changed more things'. The sentence structure is simple and repetitive. Improving grammatical accuracy and using more complex sentence structures would significantly improve the score. Focus on subject-verb agreement and correct tense usage.
