Male Female

I study computer science, but I also work as a cashier at a very distinguished and popular café in my hometown called Vanilla. So I would say that I work and study as well. Even though my work and the degree that I'm studying really don't match each other, I would say that I manage both very well. I study computer science, and I think being a cashier kind of does involve some programming. I really love my job, and I really love what I'm studying. I hope that in the future I will be able to combine them and be able to program while serving people.

Pronunciation

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

Task Response

The response directly addresses the question with relevant information and elaborates effectively. The answer is natural and provides a clear picture of the candidate's situation.

Fluency & Coherence

The response is generally fluent, but there are some instances of repetition and slight self-correction ('I work in study as well'). The ideas are connected, but the flow could be smoother with better use of cohesive devices. Try to avoid unnecessary repetition and focus on linking ideas more concisely.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate and includes some descriptive words ('distinguished,' 'popular'). However, there's room for more precise and varied language. For example, instead of saying 'really love,' consider using synonyms like 'adore,' 'cherish,' or 'am passionate about.' Expanding your vocabulary range will enhance your expression.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is mostly accurate, but there are a few minor errors ('really doesn't match each other' could be improved to 'don't really align'). The range of structures is good, but ensure consistent accuracy throughout. Pay attention to subject-verb agreement and correct word choice to refine your grammatical precision.
