Try using synonyms for the above words

Pronunciation

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

Task Response

The answer is relevant and provides a clear response to the question. To improve, consider adding more details about your relationship or how you maintain contact despite the distance.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is generally fluent and coherent. The response is well-organized and easy to follow. The use of 'definitely yes' is a natural way to start. 'However' is appropriately used to contrast the current situation. To improve, try to elaborate a bit more on how you stay in touch or provide more details about your shared history.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate and appropriate for the topic. Using 'started abroad' is slightly unnatural; 'studying abroad' is better. To enhance the lexical resource, try to incorporate more specific vocabulary related to maintaining friendships over long distances (e.g., 'regular video calls,' 'shared online activities'). Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There's a minor grammatical error: 'I have been knowing her' should be 'I have known her.' The rest of the grammar is accurate. To demonstrate a wider range, consider using more complex sentence structures (e.g., 'Despite her studying abroad, we maintain a close connection through...').
