Pronunciation

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

Task Response

The response is relevant and provides a clear preference with supporting reasons. Expanding on the comparison between shopping malls and street markets could further enhance the answer.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is generally understandable, but there are some hesitations and a lack of smooth flow. The organization is present but could be improved with clearer transitions between ideas. Try to avoid unnecessary pauses and repetitions. Practice speaking more continuously on a variety of topics to improve fluency.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but not particularly varied or precise. The phrase "variety type of it" is awkward. Aim to use more specific and sophisticated vocabulary to express your ideas more effectively. For example, instead of 'variety type of it', you could say 'a wide range of styles' or 'a diverse selection'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical errors, such as "Be it it's luxury" and "I can't find it in the street shops." These errors affect the clarity of the answer. Focus on using correct grammar structures and sentence formation. Review basic grammar rules and practice constructing grammatically correct sentences.
