Honestly, I always felt that I wanted to be a doctor in the past. I thought being a doctor was so cool and that I had to be one in the future. But as I got older and more mature, I realized that I’m not suitable for this job. So I have started becoming a lawyer.

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 addresses the question directly and provides a clear explanation of the change in career aspirations. The answer could be improved by adding more details about the reasons for the change and elaborating on the qualities that make the speaker more suited to law than medicine.

Fluency & Coherence

The response is somewhat coherent, but there are noticeable hesitations and repetitions ('when I'm younger, older'). The flow could be improved by reducing pauses and organizing thoughts more clearly before speaking. Try to use linking words to connect your ideas more smoothly.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but lacks precision. Using more specific and varied vocabulary would enhance the response. For example, instead of 'so cool,' you could use 'prestigious' or 'rewarding.' Also, there's a slight misuse of 'lore' instead of 'lawyer.' Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is generally understandable, but there are some inaccuracies and awkward phrasing ('I have started becoming a lore'). Focus on using correct verb tenses and sentence structures. For example, 'I have started becoming a lawyer' could be improved to 'I started studying law' or 'I decided to become a lawyer.'
