Pronunciation

Your pronunciation is quite good. Working on consistency and tackling difficult sounds may enhance clarity.

Task Response

The response is quite brief and lacks detail. Consider expanding on your answers by providing more specific information and examples to fully address each part of the question. Elaborating on the amenities, what you like and dislike, and your future plans would significantly improve your response.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is understandable but lacks detail and coherence. The structure is a bit disjointed. Try to answer each part of the question more thoroughly and connect your ideas more smoothly. For example, you could describe the size of your apartment, its amenities, and what you like and dislike about it. Adding transitional words and phrases would improve fluency.

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is adequate but could be more precise and varied. Instead of simply saying "better experience," try to explain what kind of experience your parents wanted. Using more descriptive language will enhance your lexical resource score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are some grammatical errors, such as tense inconsistencies ("I live", "I have lived"). Pay attention to verb tenses and subject-verb agreement. While the basic grammar is understandable, improving accuracy and using a wider range of grammatical structures will significantly improve your score.
