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 is relevant to the question and demonstrates a sense of accomplishment. However, it could benefit from more detailed explanation of the challenges faced and the specific actions taken to achieve the goal. Elaborating on the skills and qualities that contributed to success would strengthen the response.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is understandable, but the fluency could be improved. There are some noticeable hesitations and repetitions. Try to plan your answer briefly before speaking to improve the flow and reduce the number of filler words and self-corrections.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but lacks precision in places. Phrases like "ally of my job" are unclear. Consider using more precise and sophisticated vocabulary to express your ideas more effectively. For example, instead of 'ally of my job', you could say 'dedicated to my work' or 'committed to my career'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical errors, particularly in sentence structure and word order. For example, "Many people I cannot success to cannot exit the position" is grammatically incorrect. Focus on improving sentence structure and accuracy to enhance the overall quality of your response. Practice using a wider range of grammatical structures.
