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 directly answers the question with a clear and concise explanation. The answer is natural and provides sufficient detail about the mode of transportation and the reason behind it.

Fluency & Coherence

The response is somewhat coherent, but there are some hesitations and unnecessary repetitions ('the, because I'm the student, I usually get to the school'). Try to avoid unnecessary pauses and repetitions to improve fluency. Connect your ideas more smoothly.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is basic but adequate for the question. Consider using more varied vocabulary to describe your mode of transportation and location. For example, instead of just saying 'by my legs,' you could say 'I usually walk.' Also, instead of saying 'I'm sitting in the school with the dormitory, I'm living in the dormitory,' you could say 'I live in the school dormitory'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is mostly accurate, but there are some awkward phrasings ('get to the, because I'm the student'). Simplify your sentence structure and focus on clear and direct language. For example, 'I usually walk to school because I live in the dormitory.' Also, avoid using 'sitting' when you mean 'living'.
