Pronunciation

Your pronunciation is below average and may be understood with some effort. Pay attention to common phonemes that are challenging for you.

Task Response

The response is somewhat relevant but lacks detail and clarity. Consider providing more specific information about your studies, such as your major or the types of courses you are taking. Also, ensure your statements are clear and logical to avoid confusion.

Fluency & Coherence

The response is somewhat coherent, but there are some hesitations and repetitions ('I have a... I have'). Try to minimize these pauses by practicing speaking more smoothly and thinking ahead slightly. Using conjunctions like 'and' and 'because' is good, but vary your sentence structure to improve coherence further.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is basic but adequate for the question. To improve, try to use more specific and varied vocabulary related to your studies. For example, instead of just saying 'subjects,' you could mention specific courses or areas of study. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is mostly accurate, but there's a slight error with the tense usage ('about two years ago' implies a completed action, so 'I learned' would be more appropriate, or 'for about two years' with the present perfect continuous). Focus on using tenses accurately and expanding your range of grammatical structures.
