As I can vividly remember, when I was in third grade, I was browsing YouTube to find some entertaining videos to watch in Malaysia. I happened to come across this artist called Taylor Swift. I immediately thought to myself, why not listen to her newly released music video, which was 'Look What You Made Me Do.' At that time, I didn't realize it would be the most life-changing event ever because I became one of her greatest fans. I'm currently booking tickets to see her in her next concert in Australia.

So I immediately thought to myself why not listen to it and that is our newly released music video of her which is Look What You Make Me Do. Well, I didn’t know that at that time. I didn’t know that it is the most life changing event ever because I have become one of her greatest fans and I’m currently booking tickets to see her in her next concert in Australia.

Overall Band Score

7.5
(+/- 0.5)
Vocabulary Complexity:
B2 - Upper Intermediate
Opt for even more advanced words when appropriate.
Vocabulary Repetition:
No noticeable repetition! Great job!

Pronunciation

6.5
Your pronunciation is above average. However, you may find complexity in certain words challenging. Regular practice should aid in improvement.

Task Response

8
The answer is well-organized and provides a clear and detailed account of a personal experience. Consider adding more detail about the emotional impact of the music and how it made you feel. Expanding on the 'life-changing' aspect would strengthen the response.

Fluency & Coherence

7
The story is coherent and easy to follow. There is a slight stumble in the middle where the speaker corrects themself ('Well, I didn't know that at that time'). With a little more polish, the fluency would be excellent.

Lexical Resource

8
The vocabulary is sophisticated and precise. Words like 'vividly' and 'life-changing' show a good range. The phrasing is natural and idiomatic.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

7
Grammar is mostly accurate. There are a few minor errors, such as the run-on sentence at the beginning and the slightly awkward phrasing of 'which is Look What You Make Me Do'. More attention to sentence structure would improve the score.
