I would like to describe a change that I made recently. The change was about the timetable in my study. Before the change, I was studying in an unstructured way. I was focusing on only one module for a long time, which decreased my confidence in other modules. For example, if I was concentrating on reading, then I could not focus on listening, speaking, and writing. That's why I needed to adjust the time schedule. To do this, I created a routine, then divided it into four parts, and I tried to follow this routine. Before rescheduling my routine, I used to wake up later, but after that, I used to wake up early according to this new routine. Now I am focusing on each module every day. I think that change can help me to improve my results. I feel after the change I am very confident and balanced in my preparation. Having a clear routine reduces my stress. I think that the change I made is a beneficial decision for me.

Pronunciation

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

Task Response

The response addresses the topic directly and covers all four required points: what the change was, what caused it, what you did, and how you feel about it. The answer is developed with some specific details, such as the example of focusing on one module and the adjustment of waking up early. However, to achieve a higher score, you could expand on the personal experience and provide more concrete examples or outcomes. For instance, you could mention a specific challenge you faced before the change, how you implemented the routine in practice, or a particular improvement you noticed after the change. Additionally, elaborating on the emotional impact and the long-term benefits would make the response more comprehensive and engaging.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is generally coherent and organized, with a clear structure (what, why, how, feelings). However, there are some issues with fluency due to hesitations and self-corrections (e.g., 'Into this I create a routine firstly then divided into a fourth part' and 'I think so that change can help me to reduce my result'). The use of cohesive devices is basic but adequate. To improve, work on smoother transitions and avoid mid-sentence corrections.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate for the topic, with some good phrases like 'unstructured way', 'decreased my confidence', and 'beneficial decision'. However, there is some repetition (e.g., 'routine' used multiple times) and a few imprecise word choices (e.g., 'reduce my result' instead of 'improve my results'). To improve, expand your range of synonyms and use more precise academic or descriptive vocabulary.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is mostly accurate, with correct use of past tenses and some complex structures (e.g., 'Before the changes, I was studying in unstructured way'). However, there are several errors: missing articles ('in unstructured way' should be 'in an unstructured way'), incorrect word forms ('divided into a fourth part' should be 'divided it into four parts'), and awkward phrasing ('I think so that change' should be 'I think that change'). To improve, focus on article usage and sentence structure variety.
