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

Task Response

The response adequately addresses the questions about the candidate's family and best friend. However, to improve, consider elaborating on the questions regarding extended family and the preference between spending time with family or friends. More detailed examples and explanations would strengthen the response.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is mostly fluent and coherent. There is some repetition and slight rambling, particularly in the first part about family. Improving the structure and conciseness would elevate the score. For example, instead of 'We spend a lot of collective time together, especially during the weekends when we all gather for a family meal during or by busy, our busy schedules,' a more concise phrasing would be 'We spend a lot of time together, especially on weekends, when we have family meals despite our busy schedules.'

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate and mostly accurate. The use of idioms like "blood is thicker than water" and "a friend in need is a friend indeed" demonstrates good lexical range. However, more precise and varied vocabulary could be used. For example, instead of 'We instantly hit it off,' a more sophisticated phrase could be used, such as 'We formed an immediate bond.'

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are some grammatical inaccuracies. The sentence 'We spend a lot of collective time together, especially during the weekends when we all gather for a family meal during or by busy, our busy schedules' is grammatically incorrect and unclear. The phrase 'Home I meet in the first grade at school' is also grammatically incorrect. While the overall message is understandable, improving grammatical accuracy is crucial for a higher score. Focus on sentence structure and correct use of tenses.
