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 relevant information about learning English. To improve, consider elaborating on the specific methods used to learn English, providing more details about the online games and communication experiences. Additionally, expanding on the reasons for wanting to learn English, beyond just the IELTS Tech task and studying, would strengthen the answer. The response could be expanded as it currently feels quite brief.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is somewhat coherent, but there are some pauses and hesitations that affect the flow. The structure is present, but the delivery could be smoother. Try to minimize pauses and use linking words to connect your ideas more effectively.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is basic and lacks precision. The response is understandable, but using a wider range of vocabulary would improve the score. For example, instead of just saying 'succeed,' you could use more specific words like 'excel' or 'thrive.' Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are grammatical errors in the response, such as incorrect verb tenses and sentence structure. While the meaning is generally clear, improving grammatical accuracy would significantly enhance the answer. For example, 'This girl I learned recently was English' should be 'The skill I learned recently was English.'
