Male Female

Well, I would like to describe a change that I made recently. The change was the timetable of my study for IELTS. Before the change, I was studying IELTS in an unstructured way. I was focusing on one module for a long time, which decreased my skills in the other modules. For example, if I was concentrating on reading, I could not focus on listening, writing, and speaking. As a result, I needed to adjust the timetable. To do this, I first created a routine that was divided into four parts, and then I tried to follow the routine and monitored my progress. According to my new routine, I take exams for myself, focusing on writing, listening, and speaking. I check and follow up on the examination of each module every day, whereas before the change, I was not maintaining all four modules daily. For instance, I practiced only one module each day. Now, I feel very accomplished and more balanced in my preparation.

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 addresses all parts of the prompt effectively. You clearly identified the change (the study timetable), the cause (unstructured study leading to skill imbalance), the actions taken (creating a four-part routine and monitoring progress), and your feelings (feeling accomplished and balanced). To reach a higher level of development, you could incorporate more specific details or a brief anecdote regarding a particular moment when you realized the old method was failing. Additionally, expanding slightly more on the 'how' - such as the specific tools used to monitor progress or the specific time allocated to each module - would add more depth to the narrative.

Fluency & Coherence

The speaker manages to address all parts of the prompt, but the coherence is hindered by frequent pauses and a lack of sophisticated cohesive devices. The flow is somewhat disjointed, particularly towards the end where the sentence 'I feel now I feel very' is left unfinished. To improve, you should work on using transition words (e.g., 'Consequently,' 'In addition to this,' 'Looking back') to link your ideas more smoothly and ensure you complete your thoughts to provide a sense of closure.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is functional but quite basic and repetitive (e.g., using 'module' and 'routine' multiple times). There are also several instances of incorrect word choices or 'word formation' errors, such as 'un-routine' instead of 'unstructured' and 'sense the timetable' instead of 'adjust the timetable.' To reach a higher band, try to use more precise collocations and idiomatic expressions, such as 'implementing a schedule,' 'improving my proficiency,' or 'striking a balance between tasks.'

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammatical errors are frequent and occasionally impede communication. There are issues with tense consistency (mixing past and present inappropriately), subject-verb agreement, and sentence structure (e.g., 'I was not maintained the four module'). You also struggle with word forms (e.g., 'streaking' instead of 'speaking' and 'developing' instead of 'development'). Focus on mastering basic tense structures and practicing the use of complex sentences (using 'which', 'although', or 'because') to connect your ideas accurately.
