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 addresses the question directly by mentioning Telegram and other websites as sources of news. However, the response could be improved by providing more detail about the types of websites or news sources used, and perhaps elaborating on why Telegram is a preferred platform. The latter part of the answer introduces a slightly contradictory element by stating a lack of time to follow the news, which could be better integrated or explained to maintain a clearer focus on the initial question.

Fluency & Coherence

The response is hesitant and lacks coherence. There are noticeable pauses and self-corrections. To improve, try to organize your thoughts before speaking and use linking words to connect your ideas more smoothly. Practice speaking more fluently on familiar topics.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is basic but adequate for the question. To enhance your lexical resource, try to incorporate more varied and precise vocabulary related to news consumption and free time. For example, instead of 'other websites,' you could specify news aggregators or online news platforms.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar contains errors that impede understanding. The sentence structure is awkward, and there are issues with verb tense ('no way no days I'm not free time' and 'I don't I didn't get news'). Focus on using correct verb tenses and constructing grammatically sound sentences. Practice simple sentence structures before attempting more complex ones.

For myself it depends on the teacher’s quality and your knowledge. So for myself it is physics. I find it quite practical because it needs more effort than usual. For example, you need to make a complete difficult assignment than other humanitarian subjects.
