Okay, now I would like to talk about a time when I learned something new. Actually, I am ambitious. About 4 months ago, I decided to develop my English skill because it's important in my future life. In the beginning, I couldn't speak English fluently, but I always tried to put myself out of my comfort zone in spite of being afraid that I cannot do it. On that day, I felt very challenged and right now I can speak English more fluently than that day. I can do the thing that impressed me.

Pronunciation

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

Task Response

The answer addresses the topic of learning something new, specifically English, and mentions how it was learned and the result. However, it lacks specific details about the learning process and the result. The explanation of feelings is brief and could be more developed. To improve, provide concrete examples of how you learned (e.g., classes, practice methods) and describe the outcome in more detail, such as a specific situation where you used English successfully. The response could be expanded as it currently feels quite brief.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer lacks coherence and logical progression. There is no clear structure addressing all parts of the topic (what, how, result, feelings). The speaker repeats 'I can speak' and uses fillers like 'Okay'. Suggestions: Organize your answer with clear paragraphs for each part of the question. Use linking words like 'firstly', 'then', 'as a result'.

Lexical Resource

Limited vocabulary with errors like 'friendly' instead of 'fluently', 'challenges' instead of 'challenged', and 'impression' used incorrectly. Suggestions: Learn topic-specific vocabulary (e.g., 'fluently', 'challenging', 'impressive'). Use synonyms and avoid repetition.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Frequent grammatical errors: 'a town' instead of 'a time', 'can't speak' instead of 'couldn't speak', 'in spite of I'm afraid' incorrect structure. Suggestions: Practice past tense consistently. Use 'in spite of + noun/gerund' correctly. Work on subject-verb agreement and article usage.
