Pronunciation

Your pronunciation is quite good. Working on consistency and tackling difficult sounds may enhance clarity.

Task Response

The answer is satisfactory, but it could be improved by elaborating on specific reasons why Jackie Chan is the favorite actor. Mentioning particular films or qualities that appeal to you would strengthen the response. Try to use more descriptive language to paint a clearer picture of your experience with his movies.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent, but the fluency could be improved. There are a few instances of unnatural phrasing and repetition ("this guy"). More sophisticated linking words and smoother transitions would enhance the fluency.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but not particularly impressive. While the speaker uses words like "particularly" and "century," more precise and varied vocabulary would elevate the response. For example, instead of "learned Jackie Chan," "became familiar with Jackie Chan" or "discovered Jackie Chan" would be more natural.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are some grammatical inaccuracies. For example, "I learned Jackie Chan" is grammatically incorrect. The sentence structure is also somewhat simple. Using more complex sentence structures and ensuring correct verb tenses would improve the score. The phrase "it was played role by this guy" is also grammatically incorrect.
