Try using synonyms for the above words

Pronunciation

Your pronunciation is quite good. Working on consistency and tackling difficult sounds may enhance clarity.

Task Response

The response is satisfactory, but it could be improved by fully addressing all parts of the question and providing more detailed and specific examples. Consider elaborating on the types of friends you would like to meet in the future and the activities you enjoy doing with your current friends.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent and mostly fluent. However, there are some noticeable hesitations and repetitions, such as "friends are important for me because I like spend a lot of my time with my friends and friends." The phrasing could be more concise and polished. Try to minimize filler words like "uh" and plan your response to avoid such hesitations.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is adequate, but not particularly sophisticated. While the speaker uses words like "honestly" and "bored," there's room for improvement in using more precise and varied vocabulary. Consider using synonyms and more descriptive language to enrich your responses.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical errors, primarily in the use of verb tenses and prepositions. For example, "I like spend" should be "I like to spend." The sentence structure is also somewhat simple. Focus on improving accuracy and expanding your grammatical range by using more complex sentence structures.
