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 answer is quite brief and could benefit from more detailed descriptions of the city's features, culture, or daily life. Consider expanding on aspects like the city's atmosphere, landmarks, or your personal experiences within the city.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is understandable, but the fluency could be improved. There are a few minor issues with coherence, such as the slightly abrupt phrasing of 'When I have moved to Hano.' A more natural flow would enhance the response. Consider pausing slightly between sentences to improve pacing and clarity.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but lacks precision. Instead of 'city heritage,' a more descriptive phrase like 'a city rich in history and culture' or 'a city with a rich cultural heritage' would be more impactful. The vocabulary is functional but could be more sophisticated.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are some grammatical errors. 'Hano' should be 'Hanoi,' and the sentence 'When I have moved to Hano' is grammatically incorrect. It should be rephrased as 'since I moved to Hanoi' or 'when I moved to Hanoi.' While the errors don't completely obscure meaning, improving grammatical accuracy will significantly improve the score.
