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 response is relevant to the question and demonstrates a good understanding of the task. However, expanding on the reasons for forgetting the payment and the consequences would further enhance the response. Consider adding more details and descriptive language to enrich your answer.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is understandable but lacks fluency. There are some hesitations and unnatural phrasing, such as "During my payments on all bills that I have, absolutely I have a proper code tend to pay the bills." The structure could be improved for better coherence. Focus on smoother transitions between ideas and a more natural flow of speech.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but not particularly sophisticated. Words like "kill 4" are inappropriate and demonstrate a lack of precision. Expanding vocabulary and using more precise language would improve the score. Consider using synonyms and more descriptive words to enhance the answer.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical errors, including incorrect tense usage and sentence structure. The phrase "kill 4" is nonsensical. Improving grammatical accuracy and using a wider range of grammatical structures is crucial. Pay attention to subject-verb agreement and correct tense usage.
