Try using synonyms for the above words

Pronunciation

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

Task Response

The response adequately addresses the topic, identifying corruption as a significant social problem and touching upon its impact on various sectors. However, to improve, the answer could benefit from more detailed explanation of the problem's effects and the inclusion of specific examples or personal experiences to illustrate the points made. Elaborating on the challenges faced by young people and providing concrete examples of limited opportunities would strengthen the response. The response could be expanded as it currently feels quite brief.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent and mostly fluent. However, there was a slight stumble in the middle ('jettical system'), which disrupted the flow. Try to plan your response beforehand to avoid such hesitations. Practicing speaking at a natural pace will improve fluency.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is appropriate and mostly precise. The word 'jettical' is incorrect and should be replaced with 'judicial'. Using more sophisticated synonyms for common words would enhance the lexical range. For example, instead of 'significant issue,' consider 'pervasive problem' or 'endemic challenge'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are some grammatical inaccuracies. The sentence structure is a bit clumsy in places. The phrase 'as well as large and growing young population faces...' is grammatically incorrect and needs restructuring. Focus on using a wider range of grammatical structures, such as complex sentences with subordinate clauses, to improve accuracy and sophistication.
