Pronunciation

Your pronunciation is average. It is understandable but not always accurate. Focusing on the rhythm and stress patterns of English could prove beneficial.

Task Response

The answer is partially relevant to the question, but it focuses more on personal experience. Try to answer the question in a more general way, providing information about new plant varieties grown in your city without relying on personal anecdotes. Broaden your response to include more details about the plants themselves and their impact on the city.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is understandable, but there are some hesitations and repetitions ("actually", "this type of plant"). A more confident and smoother delivery would improve fluency. The structure is a bit rambling; organizing the information more logically would enhance coherence. Consider using signposting language to guide the listener through your points.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate, but some words are not used with complete precision ("absorb the absorb"). More precise and sophisticated vocabulary would elevate the response. Try to use more varied synonyms for 'plant' and 'flower'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical errors, including incorrect verb tenses ("enjoy plant"), subject-verb agreement issues, and an incomplete sentence ("and so on"). Improving grammatical accuracy is crucial. Focus on practicing different sentence structures and ensuring subject-verb agreement.
