Currently, I'm a student at Universitas Indonesia pursuing my bachelor's degree in civil engineering, and right now I'm preparing for my study abroad. That's why I took my IELTS exam, and to be completely honest, this is my second attempt. The first one, a few months ago, didn't go well and fell short of my expectations. So right now, I hope this time I will get it with flying colors.

The answer is coherent and well-structured. The pacing is good, and there is a natural flow to the response. Minor improvements could be made by slightly pausing between sentences for better emphasis and clarity. The slight run-on sentence at the end could be broken up for improved clarity.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is sophisticated and precise. Words like "pursuing," "fell short of my expectations," and "flying colors" demonstrate a strong command of English vocabulary. There is no noticeable overuse of simple vocabulary.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammar is mostly accurate. There are a few minor grammatical issues, such as the lack of an article before "bachelor degree" and the slightly awkward phrasing in the final sentence. The use of complex sentence structures is good, but some minor adjustments would improve grammatical accuracy and fluency.
