Well, I send text messages daily to the people I work with or live with. First of all, I need to send text messages since I'm an IELTS instructor, so I give feedback to my students by telling them their mistakes. Secondly, I send text messages to the people I live with, my parents, my brother and my sister. So I send them every day.

Pronunciation

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

Task Response

You answered the question directly and provided specific examples of when and why you send text messages. To reach a higher score, you could add a bit more variety in your language or mention how often you send messages in terms of frequency (e.g., 'several times a day'). Overall, your response is clear and well-developed.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is well-organized with clear sequencing (first of all, secondly). However, there is some repetition ('I send text messages' used multiple times) and the phrase 'the people I work with or I live with' could be more concise. To improve, reduce redundancy and use more varied linking words.

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is adequate but basic. Words like 'daily', 'give feedback', 'mistakes' are simple. To improve, use more precise and varied vocabulary, e.g., 'frequently', 'provide constructive feedback', 'errors', 'communicate with colleagues and family members'. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammar is mostly accurate with correct use of present simple tense. However, there is a minor error: 'I daily send' should be 'I send daily' (adverb placement). Also, 'the people I work with or I live with' could be rephrased as 'the people I work or live with' for better flow. Overall, good control of structures.
