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 relevant to the question and provides a clear opinion. However, it relies heavily on personal experience, which is not ideal for this type of question. Consider providing more general examples and discussing the impact of technology on people in a broader sense. Try to avoid repetitive statements.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is understandable, but the fluency could be improved. There's some repetition and self-correction. Try to plan your response briefly before speaking to improve coherence and reduce hesitations. More sophisticated linking words would also enhance the flow.

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is adequate but not particularly sophisticated. While the message is clear, using more precise and varied vocabulary would improve the score. Instead of 'use technology so much,' consider 'overuse technology' or 'become overly reliant on technology'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical errors, particularly in sentence structure and tense consistency. Focus on improving sentence structure and using a wider range of grammatical structures. For example, 'I always talk about talk to myself' is grammatically incorrect. Practice using more complex sentence structures to demonstrate a wider range of grammatical accuracy.
