Yes, my goal is to be a professional English speaker in the future. After that, I would like to be a freelancer as an English teacher. Now, I'm trying to improve my English skills. So, I'm taking online classes. I'm also learning from my teacher. I hope to create my own course. But, you know, I need to take it step by step because the English language is very difficult for me. After that, you know, the English language is very popular, but it is also a very difficult language in the world. I didn't always use the English language when I was here, so it is a little bit challenging. But now I'm trying to achieve my goal. I hope to become a professional English speaker and a professional English teacher as a freelancer. That's all. Thank you.

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 addresses the main topic and identifies a clear goal. However, the development of the answer is limited. To improve, you should expand on each bullet point in more detail. For the 'when' aspect, you mentioned the process but did not specify a timeframe (e.g., in two years or by the end of my studies). For the 'why' aspect, you could provide more depth regarding the personal or professional significance of this goal beyond its popularity. Additionally, try to avoid repetitive phrasing and use more varied vocabulary and complex sentence structures to connect your ideas more fluidly.

Fluency & Coherence

The speaker is able to maintain a flow of speech but relies heavily on simple sentence structures and repetitive cohesive devices (e.g., 'So', 'After that', 'But'). There is significant repetition of ideas and phrases, such as 'professional English speaker' and 'very difficult'. To improve, you should use a wider range of linking words (e.g., 'Furthermore', 'Consequently', 'In addition to this') and try to expand on your ideas rather than repeating the same point in different ways.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is basic and functional but lacks the precision and variety required for higher bands. Words like 'difficult', 'popular', and 'try' are used repeatedly. There were also some errors in word choice/collocation in the raw transcript (e.g., 'drawing online class' instead of 'taking online classes'). To reach a higher band, aim to use more idiomatic expressions and topic-specific vocabulary, such as 'mastering the language', 'pursuing a career', or 'overcoming linguistic barriers'. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The speaker mostly uses simple sentence structures. While the meaning is generally clear, there are noticeable grammatical errors and awkward constructions (e.g., 'I didn't used to always English language', 'at a freelancer'). There is a lack of complex sentence structures (subordinate clauses, relative clauses, etc.). You should practice using a variety of tenses (present perfect, future continuous) and ensure subject-verb agreement and correct preposition usage to improve your score.
