Today I will describe a shop near where I live that I sometimes go to. I live in Bangladesh, specifically in Dhaka, which is the capital of the country. In Dhaka, I live in a small area called Uttara. A few minutes from my house, there is a grocery shop that I visit sometimes because it has various grocery items. It also offers snacks, cookies, and some stationery items. Whenever I need stationery for my studies or assignments, I go there and buy what I need. Sometimes, when I crave cookies, I shop at this store. The shopkeeper, who I refer to as uncle, is very kind to everyone. The shop is just five minutes from my house.

Pronunciation

5.5

Your pronunciation is average. It is understandable but not always accurate. Focusing on the rhythm and stress patterns of English could prove beneficial.

Task Response

The response is quite good and covers the topic well. However, to improve, consider adding more details about the shop's atmosphere, the types of customers it attracts, or any memorable experiences you've had there. More descriptive language would also enhance the response. The response could be expanded as it currently feels quite brief.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is understandable, but the fluency could be improved. There is some repetition and self-correction, particularly in the description of the shop's location. Try to plan your answer beforehand to avoid unnecessary hesitations and repetitions. A more concise and structured approach would enhance fluency.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is adequate, but there's room for improvement in precision. Phrases like "exit grocery items" are not quite accurate. Using more precise vocabulary, such as 'a wide variety of groceries,' would enhance the lexical resource score. Also, avoid unnecessary repetition of words like "I go there" and "I need".

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical errors, including incorrect word order and tense inconsistencies. For example, "which name is Uttara" should be "which is called Uttara." The phrase "which I needed and which I needed" is repetitive and grammatically incorrect. Focus on improving grammatical accuracy and using a wider range of grammatical structures. Practice using different sentence structures to avoid simple sentence repetition.
