No noticeable repetition! Great job!

Pronunciation

Your pronunciation is quite good. Working on consistency and tackling difficult sounds may enhance clarity.

Task Response

The answer addresses the question directly and provides some information about the changes in the town. To improve, consider adding more specific details and examples to illustrate the changes more vividly. Elaborating on the impact of these changes could also enhance the response.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is somewhat coherent, but there are some pauses and hesitations that affect the flow. The use of 'then before' is a bit awkward. Try to use more natural connectors and avoid unnecessary pauses. Practice speaking more smoothly and connecting your ideas more clearly.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is relatively simple and lacks precision. The phrase 'grown up' is not incorrect, but 'gone up' would be more natural in this context. Expand your vocabulary to describe changes in a town more effectively. For example, you could use words like 'developed,' 'modernized,' or 'expanded.' Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical errors, such as 'My home dome' instead of 'My hometown' and 'different change place.' The sentence structure is also quite basic. Focus on using correct grammar and a wider range of sentence structures. For example, try using complex sentences to express more detailed information.
