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 is relevant and coherent, directly addressing the question. Consider expanding on why celebrity news is preferred over political news, providing more specific examples to enrich your answer and demonstrate a wider range of vocabulary.

The answer is coherent, but the fluency could be improved. There is some repetition and self-correction ("So usually I am not usually discredited"). Try to plan your answer briefly before speaking to avoid such issues. A smoother delivery would improve the score.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate and mostly accurate. The phrase "discredited about news" is not quite right; perhaps "interested in discussing news" would be better. Using more precise language would enhance the score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

6
There are some grammatical errors. The sentence "political issues is political issues are somehow sensitive" is incorrect. The student should focus on subject-verb agreement and avoid unnecessary repetition. More complex grammatical structures would improve the score.
