Polished transcript:

Male Female

Nowadays, I am a secondary school student and I have two academic exams. I always consistently prepare for my exams, so I don't have any leisure time to myself. I don't want to spend my time on unnecessary things, but sometimes when I'm not in the mood and when I feel blue, I always sing because singing is special therapy for me. Sometimes I dance because it can also give me a little bit of energy and fun, but I love singing more than dancing, and that's why I always sing. I have a playlist that I sing along to while doing great work. Actually, I don't have any hobby other than singing. That's all I mean.

Pronunciation

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

Task Response

The response addresses the topic by discussing singing as an activity done during leisure time. However, it could be improved by providing more specific details about the hobby, such as the types of songs, how often the activity is done, or any personal significance attached to it. Expanding on these aspects would make the response more comprehensive and engaging. The response could be expanded as it currently feels quite brief.

Fluency & Coherence

The response is somewhat coherent, but there are noticeable hesitations and repetitions ('when I when I'm'). The organization of ideas is basic. To improve, try to structure your answer with a clear introduction, body, and conclusion. Practice speaking more smoothly by focusing on connecting your ideas with transition words.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but lacks precision and variety. Words like 'unnecessary things' and 'great work' are vague. To enhance your lexical resource, try to use more specific and descriptive words related to your hobby. For example, instead of 'great work,' you could say 'while studying' or 'while doing chores.'

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical errors, such as 'prepare to my exams' (should be 'prepare for my exams') and awkward phrasing like 'spend more precisely with my time.' The range of structures is limited. To improve, focus on using a wider variety of sentence structures and review basic grammar rules, particularly prepositions and verb conjugations.
