Pronunciation

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 short and could be more detailed. Consider expanding on why advertisements are distracting and providing more specific examples of the types of advertisements you find most bothersome. Adding a sentence or two about how you feel about the content of advertisements in general would also strengthen your response. The response could be expanded as it currently feels quite brief.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is understandable, but there are some hesitations ('uh'), and the phrasing is a bit awkward at times. Improving fluency would involve smoother transitions and a more natural flow of speech. Try to plan your response briefly before speaking to improve coherence.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate, but some words are misused or imprecise ('el this advertra'). Expanding vocabulary and using more precise language would improve the score. Consider using synonyms for frequently used words to enhance lexical resource.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are some grammatical errors ('study lighted videos', 'un directed it for me'). While the overall message is clear, improving grammatical accuracy is crucial for a higher score. Focus on sentence structure and correct tense usage. Practice using a wider range of grammatical structures.
