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 a good start, but it needs further development to fully address the question. Consider providing specific examples of your friend's personality and your shared experiences to make the description more vivid and engaging. Focus on describing the friend rather than discussing the nature of friendship in general.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is understandable, but the fluency could be improved. There is some hesitation and repetition ("I am not sure"). Try to plan your answer briefly before speaking to improve the flow and reduce hesitations. Also, complete your sentences; the answer cuts off mid-sentence.

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is adequate but not particularly sophisticated. While the words used are correct, more precise and varied vocabulary would elevate the response. For example, instead of 'trusted,' consider synonyms like 'confided in' or 'relied upon.'

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are some grammatical errors. The sentence 'I have one friend and I have known since 10 years before' is grammatically incorrect. It should be something like 'I have one friend whom I have known for 10 years' or 'I have a friend I've known for 10 years.' Pay attention to subject-verb agreement and correct tense usage.
