Try using synonyms for the above words

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 satisfactory, directly answering the question. Consider expanding on your future plans and how biology will help you achieve them. Adding specific examples of your passion for biology would further strengthen your response.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is understandable and coherent, but the fluency could be improved. There are some hesitations and repetitions ("and I have more plans for my future and I think this subject will help for my future"). Try to plan your answer briefly before speaking to improve fluency and reduce repetition. Also, ending abruptly with "highly great..." detracts from the overall coherence.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate, but some phrases could be more precise and natural. For example, instead of "maybe I would be a doctor," "I might want to be a doctor" or "I hope to become a doctor" sounds more natural. The phrase "highly great" is unnatural; consider replacing it with a more precise adjective or phrase describing your passion for biology.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is mostly correct, but there are some minor errors. For example, "for my future" is used twice and could be improved. The sentence structure is simple. Try to incorporate more complex sentence structures to demonstrate a wider range of grammatical accuracy. The phrase "a subject very interesting for me" should be "a subject that is very interesting to me".
