Pronunciation

6.5

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

Task Response

The answer is understandable and addresses the question. However, it lacks depth and generalizability. Consider exploring the benefits and drawbacks of maintaining school friendships in a more comprehensive way, providing examples to support your points. Focus less on personal experience and more on broader societal trends or perspectives.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is understandable, but the fluency could be improved. There's some repetition and hesitation. Try to plan your response briefly before speaking to improve coherence and reduce filler words like 'so'.

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is adequate but lacks precision in places. Phrases like "his mindset is going with me or done with me" are not very precise. Consider using more sophisticated vocabulary to express your ideas more clearly. For example, instead of 'done with me', you could say 'no longer compatible with'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammar contains several errors, particularly in sentence structure and subject-verb agreement. For example, 'it depends on the people himself' should be 'it depends on the person'. Work on improving sentence structure and grammatical accuracy for a higher score.
