Pronunciation

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

Task Response

The response directly answers the question and provides relevant details about the speaker's current status as a student. The speaker elaborates on their educational stage and future plans, demonstrating a good command of English. To improve, the speaker could focus on maintaining a consistent level of fluency and avoiding unnecessary pauses.

Fluency & Coherence

The response includes unnecessary introductory phrases that are part of the test instructions, which affects fluency. The answer is generally coherent, but there are some hesitations. Avoid repeating the examiner's instructions. Focus on directly answering the question and elaborating naturally. Try to minimize pauses and self-corrections.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate and relevant to the topic. The use of 'looking forward to' is good. To improve, try to incorporate a wider range of vocabulary related to education and future plans. Consider using synonyms and more descriptive language to enhance your response.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are some grammatical errors, such as 'at a course named Batillarado' (should be 'in a course'). The phrase 'when I'll start university' is also incorrect (should be 'when I start university'). Focus on using correct prepositions and verb tenses. Practice constructing more complex sentences accurately.
