Pronunciation

5.5

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 partially relevant to the question but lacks detail and coherence. Consider structuring your response to clearly address the reasons for your job choice, providing specific examples and elaborating on each reason. Focus on providing a more complete and logical explanation.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is disjointed and lacks a clear, coherent explanation. The speaker jumps between reasons without proper transitions. Work on structuring your response logically and using cohesive devices (e.g., 'firstly', 'moreover', 'finally') to connect your ideas. Practice speaking more smoothly and avoid abrupt shifts in thought.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is basic and lacks precision. The phrase 'new types' is unclear. Try to use more specific and sophisticated vocabulary to express your ideas more effectively. For example, instead of 'new types,' you could say 'new techniques' or 'innovative methods,' depending on the context. Expand your vocabulary related to your profession and reasons for choosing it.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical errors, such as the incorrect use of tenses and sentence structure. The sentence 'I chose another job, but my brother, Peresue, is interested in the subject' is grammatically incorrect and unclear. The final sentence is incomplete. Focus on improving your grammar accuracy and sentence construction. Practice using a wider range of grammatical structures, including complex sentences, to demonstrate your proficiency.
