Pronunciation

6.5

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

Task Response

The response is relevant to the question and provides a simple comparison. However, to improve, consider elaborating on specific examples of how friends and family contribute to your life and explore the nuances of the relationship between the two. A more detailed comparison would strengthen the response.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is understandable but lacks the sophisticated structure and flow of a band 9 response. The phrasing 'role of the space of my life' is awkward. More sophisticated linking words and a clearer organizational structure would improve fluency and coherence. Consider a more structured approach, perhaps outlining the importance of each and then comparing them.

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is adequate but not particularly precise or sophisticated. 'Supplies economy' is not ideal; 'provides financial support' or 'supports me financially' would be more precise and natural. A wider range of vocabulary would elevate the response.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are grammatical errors. 'Friends helps' should be 'Friends help'. The sentence structure is simple. More complex grammatical structures and error-free sentences are needed for a higher score. Consider using more varied sentence structures, including subordinate clauses, to demonstrate a wider grammatical range.
