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 brief and could benefit from more detailed explanation and comparison of shopping malls and street markets. Consider expanding on the specific aspects you enjoy, providing examples, and contrasting the experiences to show a clearer preference.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is understandable, but there's some repetition and slightly unnatural phrasing. Focus on smoother transitions between ideas and avoid unnecessary phrases like "really enjoy" twice in one sentence. More concise expression would improve fluency.

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is adequate but lacks precision. Words like "convenient" are a bit general. More specific vocabulary to describe the shopping experience would enhance the response. For example, instead of convenient, you could use words like affordable, reasonable, or budget-friendly.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are grammatical errors, such as subject-verb agreement ("price are") and slightly awkward sentence structure. Pay attention to subject-verb agreement and sentence construction. Practice using a wider range of grammatical structures, such as complex sentences, to improve accuracy.
