Pronunciation

7.5

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

Task Response

The answer is quite short and lacks detailed description. Consider expanding on the sensory details of the cake (taste, texture, appearance) and elaborating on the context of the event and your feelings. Adding more specific details about your friends' efforts to buy the cake would also strengthen the response. The response could be expanded as it currently feels quite brief.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent and easy to follow. Minor improvements could be made by using more sophisticated linking words and phrases to enhance the flow. For example, instead of simply stating 'On my birthday this year...', you could say 'To mark my birthday this year...' or 'To celebrate my birthday this year...'

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate and appropriate for the topic. More descriptive language could be used to paint a more vivid picture of the cake and the occasion. For example, instead of 'heart-shaped brownie cake,' you could describe the texture, frosting, or any other details that made it special. Using synonyms for 'special' would also enhance the lexical range.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is mostly accurate with only minor errors. The sentence 'they gave me a cake that they ordered from delivery app and they surprised me in our classroom' could be improved by separating it into two distinct sentences for clarity. Also, using more complex sentence structures would demonstrate a wider grammatical range.
