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

Task Response

The answer is a good start, directly addressing the question and providing some relevant details about the changes in the daily routine. However, to achieve a higher score, it would benefit from more detailed elaboration on the differences between the past and present routines, and a more complete description of a typical day. Consider adding more specific examples and expanding on the activities performed in both periods.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent and mostly fluent. There is some repetition ("I wake up early"), but it doesn't significantly impede understanding. Minor improvements in phrasing could enhance fluency.

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is adequate and mostly accurate. More precise vocabulary choices could elevate the response. For example, instead of "communicated with my friends," consider using a more specific verb like "played" or "chatted." The phrase "master degree" should be "master's degree".

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammar is mostly accurate, but there are a few minor errors. The sentence structure could be improved for greater clarity and sophistication. For example, "I just go to university three times a week for teaching students" could be rephrased as "I teach students at the university three times a week." The use of "most of the times" is slightly informal.
