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 response adequately addresses the prompt by listing several hobbies and providing brief explanations. To improve, consider expanding on each hobby with more specific details and personal anecdotes. For example, instead of saying "I love reading books," you could mention a specific book that impacted you or a genre you particularly enjoy. Adding more depth and personal experiences will strengthen the response. The response could be expanded as it currently feels quite brief.

Fluency & Coherence

7.5

The response is coherent and well-structured. The speaker uses linking words effectively ('first', 'second', 'also'). There is a slight stumble with the phrase 'new things and new words and new educational,' but it doesn't significantly detract from the overall fluency. Minor repetition of 'new' could be avoided for better lexical range.

Lexical Resource

6.5

The vocabulary is adequate and mostly accurate. The speaker uses a range of vocabulary to describe their hobbies. However, there's room for improvement in precision. 'Fantastic' is used instead of 'fantasy' and 'very good tour' is unclear. More precise and sophisticated vocabulary would elevate the score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

6.5

Grammar is mostly accurate with only minor errors. The sentence 'It helps me relax and learn new things and new words and new educational' is grammatically incorrect. The speaker uses a range of simple and complex sentence structures, but more complex structures and varied grammatical forms would improve the score.
