Pronunciation

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

Task Response

The answer is relevant and covers the topic well. Consider expanding on the reasons for borrowing and the experiences associated with it to further enrich your response. Adding details about the amounts borrowed and how the money was used would also enhance the answer.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is understandable, but there are some hesitations and repetitions ("I sometimes I get money"). A more concise and smoother delivery would improve fluency. The structure is a bit rambling; try to organize your thoughts into clearer points before speaking.

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is adequate, but some words could be more precise. Instead of "get money," consider using more specific terms like "borrow," "lend," or "receive." The phrasing is sometimes awkward; more sophisticated vocabulary would enhance the response.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical errors, including incorrect tense usage ("I have ever borrowed"), and sentence fragments ("however, if I met here"). Pay attention to subject-verb agreement and sentence structure. Practice using a wider range of grammatical structures, such as complex sentences, to improve accuracy.
