Try using synonyms for the above words

Pronunciation

8.5
Your pronunciation is very good. Aim to refine subtleties and intonation to further improve.

Task Response

5
The response is understandable but lacks detail and depth. Consider providing specific examples of activities or strategies you use to improve your mood or maintain a sense of well-being.

Fluency & Coherence

6
The answer is coherent and easy to follow. The slight repetition of "I" and the slightly hesitant phrasing ("I mean") prevent a higher score. Try to vary sentence structure and reduce filler words for improved fluency.

Lexical Resource

6
The vocabulary is adequate and appropriate for the topic. The idiom "down in the dumps" demonstrates good lexical range. Consider incorporating more sophisticated vocabulary to express your feelings and actions.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

6
Grammar is mostly accurate. The minor grammatical error ("times that I feel" instead of "times when I feel") is insignificant. The use of varied sentence structures is good. Continue to focus on precise grammar to achieve a higher score.
