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 provides a clear reason for the importance of keeping up with current events. To improve, focus on directly linking current events to the graduate program and employer interactions. For example, mentioning how knowing about industry trends or company news can enhance conversations and make a stronger impression.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is somewhat coherent, but there are hesitations and self-corrections that affect the flow. The connection between current events and the graduate program could be clearer. To improve, try to organize your thoughts more clearly before speaking and use linking words to connect ideas smoothly.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but not particularly sophisticated. The phrase "make the application a platform" is a bit unclear. To enhance your lexical resource, try to use more precise and varied vocabulary related to career opportunities and networking.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is generally accurate, but there are some minor errors and awkward phrasing. For example, "and and how I can make the application a platform" is redundant. Focus on using a wider range of grammatical structures with greater accuracy.
