If we talk about a goal that I set for myself, it’s to achieve a good score on my exams. After 11th grade, I will take my exams. An important exam is the national Kazakhstan exam. In Russian, it’s YEN-TEM. I need to score 140 points, but currently, I have only 90 points. It’s very difficult for me. I need to pass history, international history, and other subjects. It took around 4 hours, but preparing takes one or maybe two years. Now I am studying in courses that are preparing me for my exam. After I achieve it, I will feel very relaxed because it’s very difficult and important, so I believe I will achieve it.

Try using synonyms for the above words

Pronunciation

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

Task Response

The response addresses the topic and provides some relevant information about the goal. To improve, consider elaborating on the steps taken to achieve the goal with more specific details. Additionally, expanding on the feelings experienced upon achieving the goal would enhance the answer. The response could be expanded as it currently feels quite brief.

Fluency & Coherence

The response is generally understandable, but there are some hesitations and a lack of smooth flow. The organization is present, but could be improved with more cohesive devices to link ideas together more effectively. For example, using phrases like 'To begin with,' 'Furthermore,' or 'In conclusion' could enhance coherence. Practice speaking more continuously on a variety of topics to improve fluency.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate for the task, but there's room for improvement in terms of precision and variety. The candidate uses some basic vocabulary effectively but could benefit from incorporating more specific and descriptive words related to studying and exams. For example, instead of just saying 'difficult,' the candidate could use words like 'challenging' or 'demanding.' To improve, focus on learning synonyms and expanding your vocabulary related to common IELTS topics. Pay attention to vocabulary repetition to improve the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammatical range is somewhat limited, and there are noticeable errors that affect clarity. For example, there are issues with verb tense ('preparing take' should be 'preparing takes' or 'preparation takes') and article usage. While the overall meaning is clear, consistent grammatical errors detract from the overall impression. Focus on practicing accurate sentence construction and reviewing basic grammar rules, especially verb tenses and article usage.
