Pronunciation

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

Task Response

The response is relevant to the question and demonstrates a personal perspective. However, it could benefit from a more direct and concise answer, focusing on specific skills or abilities rather than a philosophical discussion on talent versus hard work. Elaborating on a specific talent with examples would strengthen the response.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is understandable, but there's a slight lack of coherence. The speaker starts by affirming having talents, then immediately contradicts themselves by stating a belief against innate talent. A smoother transition between these two ideas would improve fluency. The repetition of "I don't believe in talent because..." also disrupts the flow. Try to complete your thoughts and avoid unnecessary repetition.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but not particularly sophisticated. Words like "good sides" could be replaced with more precise terms like "strengths" or "skills." Expanding on the types of talents or skills would demonstrate a richer vocabulary.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are some grammatical inaccuracies. The phrase "I don't believe in talent because only hardworking" is grammatically incorrect. The speaker should aim for more precise grammatical structures. The incomplete sentence at the end also affects the overall grammatical accuracy. Focus on completing your sentences and using a wider range of grammatical structures.
