To be honest, I really appreciate this Duolingo and the In-List app to improve my English skills, including speaking and reading. As an English major, I studied English for a while, but my English was not very good. I found it quite difficult to improve these skills. One day, I discovered this app and started to practice, which has helped me improve a lot in listening and speaking. I really love this app, so I practice every day, and my English knowledge and skills have improved significantly. I'm really appreciative because it trains many of my English skills.

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 the topic and provides some relevant information. To improve, consider elaborating more on the specific ways the technology has improved your daily life and how your life would be different without it. Providing more detailed examples and personal experiences would also strengthen the answer. The response could be expanded as it currently feels quite brief.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is somewhat coherent but lacks clear organization. The ideas are presented, but the transitions between them could be smoother. There are some hesitations and self-corrections, which affect the fluency. To improve, focus on structuring your response with clear topic sentences and transitions. Practice speaking more smoothly by thinking ahead about what you want to say.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but not particularly varied or precise. The candidate uses words like 'appreciate,' 'improve,' and 'difficult,' which are appropriate but common. To enhance your lexical resource, try to incorporate more specific and descriptive vocabulary related to language learning and technology. For example, instead of 'improve a lot,' you could say 'made significant progress' or 'enhanced my proficiency considerably.' Pay attention to vocabulary repetition to improve the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is generally understandable, but there are noticeable errors that affect clarity. For example, 'I practice practice which I've improved a lot' is awkward. 'My English knowledge and skills were or post regularly' is unclear and grammatically incorrect. To improve, focus on using a wider range of grammatical structures accurately. Pay attention to verb tenses, sentence structure, and word order. Review basic grammar rules and practice constructing more complex sentences.
