This question is very meaningful for me because it is emotional when I remember this time. The most successful moment of my life was entering the university because I was proud of myself at that time. My major is difficult because it's a different language from my native language. But I did it, and my family was proud of me.

Pronunciation

Your pronunciation is above average. However, you may find complexity in certain words challenging. Regular practice should aid in improvement.

Task Response

The answer is relevant to the topic and conveys the main idea. However, to improve, more details and specific examples could be added to enrich the narrative and better illustrate the feelings and significance of the moment. Elaborating on the challenges faced and how they were overcome would strengthen the response. The response could be expanded as it currently feels quite brief.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is understandable, but the fluency could be improved. There are some hesitations and repetitions ("So, well", "And so"). Try to plan your response briefly before speaking to improve the flow and coherence. More sophisticated linking words would also enhance the coherence.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but not particularly sophisticated. While the answer conveys the message, using more precise and varied vocabulary would improve the score. For example, instead of 'difficult,' you could use 'challenging,' 'demanding,' or 'rigorous.'

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is mostly correct, but there are some minor errors and slightly unnatural phrasing. For example, "it's another language from my time language" should be "it's a different language from my native language." Improving grammatical accuracy and sentence structure will significantly improve the score.
