Pronunciation

Your pronunciation is above average. However, you may find complexity in certain words challenging. Regular practice should aid in improvement.

Task Response

The answer is relevant to the question and provides specific examples. However, the response could benefit from more detailed descriptions of the occasions and the types of flowers chosen. Expanding on the reasons behind choosing those particular flowers would also enhance the response.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent, but there's some repetition and slight rambling. The structure could be improved by focusing on one or two key examples instead of listing multiple instances vaguely. Try to avoid filler words like 'so' excessively.

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is adequate but lacks sophistication. While the message is clear, using more descriptive language to describe the flowers or the occasion would enhance the response. Consider using more precise vocabulary, such as specific types of flowers or more evocative descriptions of the occasion.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are some grammatical errors, such as 'once a day I bought flowers for my mother birthday' and 'on his birthday'. The possessive apostrophe is missing in the first instance, and the pronoun 'his' is incorrect. While the overall meaning is understandable, improving grammatical accuracy will significantly improve the score. Focus on subject-verb agreement and correct pronoun usage.
