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 response addresses the question directly and provides a clear preference with reasons. Elaboration could be improved by providing more specific examples or details to support the points made.

Fluency & Coherence

The response is hesitant with noticeable repetition and self-correction ('a public, a private transport,' 'make use of is'). The flow of ideas is disrupted by these hesitations. To improve, practice speaking more smoothly and avoid unnecessary pauses or repetitions. Try to organize your thoughts before speaking to maintain a more coherent delivery.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is basic and lacks precision. The phrase 'apps of cake' (intended as 'piece of cake') is inaccurate and affects clarity. To enhance your lexical resource, learn and practice using more idiomatic expressions correctly. Focus on expanding your vocabulary related to transport and convenience.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammatical accuracy is limited, with errors in sentence structure and word usage. The sentence 'make use of is a soft cake' is grammatically incorrect. To improve, focus on constructing grammatically correct sentences and practice using a variety of sentence structures. Review basic grammar rules and practice applying them in your spoken responses.
