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 is a good start but lacks detail and depth. Consider expanding on the activities you do together, providing more specific examples and anecdotes to illustrate your relationship. Elaborate on your sister's personality beyond 'good cook' and explain the reasons behind spending time together with more detail and personal reflection. The response could be expanded as it currently feels quite brief.

Fluency & Coherence

5.5

The answer is understandable but lacks fluency. There are some hesitations and repetitions ("M now we're doing a lot of activities. Right now we have not enough time to enjoy but in Sp time"). The structure is somewhat disorganized. Improving the flow and reducing the hesitations would significantly improve the score. More precise use of linking words and phrases would enhance coherence.

Lexical Resource

4.5

The vocabulary is adequate but not particularly rich or precise. Words like "activities" are used repeatedly without much variation. Using more specific vocabulary to describe the activities and the sister's personality would improve this aspect. The phrase "good safe" is incorrect and needs correction.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

4.5

There are several grammatical errors. The sentence structure is often simple and lacks complexity. Errors include incorrect use of prepositions ("beside with"), tense inconsistencies, and incorrect word order. Focusing on accurate grammar and using a wider range of grammatical structures is crucial for improvement.
