So there are so many reasons to explain. This is very difficult to maintain relationships for some people. This is because nowadays relationships are related to the value you give to other people. If you give less value, you will miss the relationship. From this and other reasons, I think there are fewer true friends right now. This is because old friends often think about what you give to them, I mean, what value you provide for them.

Pronunciation

6.5

Your pronunciation is above average. However, you may find complexity in certain words challenging. Regular practice should aid in improvement.

Task Response

The answer is understandable, but it lacks depth and specific examples. Consider exploring different aspects of maintaining friendships, such as communication challenges, changing life circumstances, or personality differences. Developing these points with more detail and specific examples would strengthen the response.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is understandable, but there's a noticeable lack of fluency. Repetition and self-correction ('So there are so many reasons why to explain. There are so many reasons to explain.') detract from the overall flow. Improving sentence structure and reducing redundancy would significantly enhance fluency. Try to plan your response briefly before speaking to avoid such repetitions.

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is adequate but not particularly sophisticated. Words like 'valuable' are used repeatedly. While the message is clear, using more varied and precise vocabulary would improve the score. Consider synonyms for 'value' and 'relationship' to enrich your expression.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammatical errors are present ('This is because nowadays the relationship is related to what the values you give to other people' should be 'This is because nowadays, relationships are based on the value you give to other people.'). Sentence structures are sometimes awkward. Focusing on accurate grammar and more complex sentence structures will improve this aspect. Practice using a wider range of grammatical structures, such as relative clauses and passive voice, to demonstrate grammatical range.
