Pronunciation

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 student provides some personal information, but the answer is not very detailed. They could have expanded on their interests and hobbies, and provided more specific examples. For example, they could have mentioned what kind of books they like to read, or what specific sports they enjoy playing. They could also have mentioned their goals for the future.

Fluency & Coherence

The student's speech is quite hesitant and disjointed. They use a lot of fillers, such as 'um' and 'uh', and they repeat themselves several times. The answer is not very well organized, and it is difficult to follow the student's train of thought. The student could improve their fluency by practicing speaking more often and by planning their answers in advance.

Lexical Resource

The student uses a limited range of vocabulary. They use some basic words and phrases, but they do not use any more sophisticated language. They also make a few errors in vocabulary, such as using 'officeod' instead of 'office' and 'spe influently' instead of 'fluent'. The student could improve their lexical resource by reading more widely and by learning new words and phrases.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The student makes several grammatical errors in their answer. For example, they use the incorrect tense in 'Am now I am a 24 years old' and they use the incorrect preposition in 'in of is'. The student could improve their grammatical accuracy by studying grammar rules and by practicing speaking more often.
