Traditionally, it's really special for me that we celebrate each member's birthday in my family. Of course, it's celebrated in each part of the family. When the clock strikes 8 PM, we celebrate with a special cake. This tradition is important to me because it shows our friendship and how each family member is important to us. That's why this tradition is so meaningful. We really cherish this time together, and it strengthens our bonds as a family.

Pronunciation

Your pronunciation is average. It is understandable but not always accurate. Focusing on the rhythm and stress patterns of English could prove beneficial.

Task Response

The response addresses the topic and provides some information about the family tradition. To improve, consider adding more specific details about the cake, the activities during the celebration, and the roles of different family members. Expanding on the reasons why this tradition is important would also strengthen the answer. The response could be expanded as it currently feels quite brief.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is somewhat coherent but contains some hesitations and repetitions ('We are really like... We are really like...'). The structure is present, but the flow could be improved with better connectors and transitions between ideas. Try to minimize pauses and repetitions by practicing speaking more smoothly and using linking words to connect your thoughts.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but lacks precision and variety. Words like 'special' and 'important' are used frequently. To improve, try to incorporate a wider range of vocabulary related to celebrations, family traditions, and emotions. For example, instead of 'special making cake,' you could say 'specially baked cake' or 'custom-made cake.' Pay attention to vocabulary repetition to improve the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is generally understandable, but there are some errors and awkward phrasing ('each of the verses of family,' 'When the clock is 20pm'). Focus on using correct verb tenses, prepositions, and sentence structures. Practice constructing more complex sentences to demonstrate a wider grammatical range.
