Pronunciation

6
Your pronunciation is above average. However, you may find complexity in certain words challenging. Regular practice should aid in improvement.

Task Response

7
The answer is relevant and coherent. Consider expanding on the reasons for borrowing books to provide a more balanced response and demonstrate a wider range of vocabulary.

Fluency & Coherence

7
The answer is coherent, but the phrase 'research and borrow them' is a bit confusing and disrupts the flow. Consider rephrasing to improve fluency. Minor repetition of 'I' could be reduced.

Lexical Resource

7
Vocabulary is mostly accurate and appropriate, but 'reverting' is not quite the right word. 'Rewarding' is a better choice. The vocabulary is sufficient for the task, but more sophisticated choices would elevate the score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

6
There are some grammatical inaccuracies. 'Having a personal life liberally feels reverting' is grammatically incorrect and unclear. The sentence structure could be improved for greater clarity and accuracy. While the answer is understandable, more precise grammar would improve the score.
