Pronunciation

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

Task Response

The answer is on-topic and directly addresses the question. It provides relevant information about being a student and the field of study. The response includes a natural elaboration on the reason for choosing the subject, which adds depth. To improve, consider adding a bit more detail about your current studies or future plans, and ensure the language is concise and varied.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent and easy to follow, with a clear structure: stating student status, the subject, and reasons. However, there are some hesitations and self-corrections (e.g., 'I study Fine Arts since 2024' and 'I've been studying this subject because I feel like it's my dreams from I was young'). The flow is slightly disrupted by these errors, but the overall organization is logical. To improve, practice speaking more smoothly and avoid unnecessary pauses or corrections.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate for the topic, with some good attempts like 'Fine Arts' and 'creative'. However, there are inaccuracies in word choice and form (e.g., 'my dreams' should be 'my dream', 'from I was young' should be 'from when I was young', and 'a lot of time' is less precise than 'a lot'). The range is limited but sufficient for the task. To improve, expand vocabulary related to education and personal interests, and practice using precise collocations. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical errors that affect accuracy. The present perfect is misused ('I study Fine Arts since 2024' should be 'I have studied Fine Arts since 2024'), and there are issues with prepositions and articles ('from I was young' should be 'from when I was young', 'my dreams' should be 'my dream'). The sentence 'I dream about that a lot of time' is awkward and should be 'I've dreamed about that a lot'. The range of structures is limited, with mostly simple sentences. To improve, focus on correct tense usage, especially present perfect for duration, and practice forming more complex sentences.
