Yes, of course I use a dictionary several times a month, but you know I haven't started learning for the IS exam, so I have developed a habit of learning new vocabulary each time I hear a word or find a vocabulary term that I don't understand. I use a dictionary to find out the exact meanings.

Pronunciation

Your pronunciation is above average. However, you may find complexity in certain words challenging. Regular practice should aid in improvement.

Task Response

The answer is well-organized and coherent, directly addressing the question with relevant details. Consider expanding on the types of dictionaries used or specific examples of how the dictionary aids your learning for a more comprehensive response.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent and mostly fluent. Minor repetition and self-correction ('vocabs' instead of 'vocabulary', 'forward' is unclear). Improving fluency would involve smoother transitions between ideas and more precise word choices.

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is adequate and mostly accurate. The phrasing 'I haven't started learning for the IS exam' is a bit informal. More precise and sophisticated vocabulary would enhance the response. Consider using synonyms for 'dictionary' and 'meanings'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammar is mostly accurate but contains some minor errors ('several times in a month' should be 'several times a month', 'a habit of learning new vocabs each time I hear forward' is grammatically incorrect). More complex grammatical structures would improve the score. Focus on using articles correctly and improving sentence structure.
