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

Task Response

The answer is quite good and covers the question well. Consider adding more detail about the types of groceries or stationery you buy, or perhaps mentioning any other types of shopping you do during the week. Expanding on your experience of shopping would make the response even richer.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent and well-structured. The slight repetition of 'shopping' could be avoided for improved fluency. Consider using synonyms or rephrasing to enhance flow.

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is adequate and appropriate. More sophisticated vocabulary could be used to describe the shopping experience. Instead of 'stuff,' consider more specific terms. The phrase 'stationery and then we come back to our home' could be improved with a more concise and natural expression, such as 'then we head home'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammar is mostly accurate. Minor improvements could be made. For example, 'I tell my mom to go...' could be changed to 'I ask my mom to go...' for a more natural phrasing. The sentence structure is generally good, but varying sentence structures would enhance the response.
