Try using synonyms for the above words

Pronunciation

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

Task Response

The response is relevant to the question, but it could be improved by directly addressing whether you personally have had a pet. The narrative about your aunt's dog is a bit tangential. Try to focus on your own experiences and feelings related to pet ownership.

Fluency & Coherence

The response is generally coherent, but there are some pauses and hesitations that slightly affect the fluency. The narrative is easy to follow. To improve, try to minimize pauses and use linking words more effectively to connect ideas.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but could be more precise. For example, 'freed of him' is not the correct expression; 'afraid of him' is more appropriate. Expanding your vocabulary related to emotions and experiences would enhance your response. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is mostly accurate, with a few errors. 'I freed of him' should be 'I was afraid of him'. The sentence structure is simple but generally correct. To improve, focus on using a wider range of grammatical structures and ensuring accuracy in verb tenses and prepositions.
