Fluency & Coherence

Focus on providing more direct and relevant explanations. Try to avoid introducing unrelated ideas that detract from the main point.

The vocabulary is adequate but not particularly precise or flexible. Words like 'encouraging' and 'extraordinary' are used, but the overall impact is limited by the lack of context and relevance. Expand your vocabulary and practice using words in context to enhance clarity and impact.

There are grammatical errors and awkward phrasing, such as 'I need, I need to have been saving money' and 'uplift my words.' These errors detract from the clarity of the response. Focus on using correct verb tenses and sentence structures. Practice speaking about familiar topics to improve accuracy.
