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

Task Response

This is an excellent response. You have answered the question directly and provided a detailed and engaging description of your living environment. Consider adding a sentence or two about the positive aspects of living in Jakarta to provide a more balanced perspective.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent and well-structured. The description of Jakarta is clear and logical. Minor repetition ('It makes') could be avoided for improved fluency. Consider using more sophisticated linking words to enhance the flow, such as 'consequently' or 'therefore'.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate and mostly accurate. Words like "economic epicenter" show a good range. However, more precise vocabulary could be used. For example, instead of 'a lot of people good in Jakarta,' consider 'attracts many people' or 'has a large population'. Using more sophisticated synonyms would improve the score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammar is mostly accurate, with a few minor errors. The sentence 'It makes a lot of people good in Jakarta every day' is grammatically incorrect and needs rephrasing. While the overall structure is good, using more complex grammatical structures would enhance the response. For example, using passive voice more effectively would improve grammatical range.
