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

Task Response

The response is satisfactory, but it could be improved by providing more specific examples and elaborating on the qualities of good teachers and students. Consider discussing the value of formal education beyond mere popularity, and explore a wider range of teacher and student qualities.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is understandable, but there's some repetition and slightly hesitant delivery. Improving fluency would involve smoother transitions between ideas and reducing filler words. For example, instead of 'All of us pass our exams. Also we have many different exams, speaking exams, writing, etc.', a more concise phrasing would be 'We have many different exams, including speaking and writing exams.'

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is adequate but lacks precision in places. The phrase 'do all things what your teacher said' is grammatically incorrect and could be replaced with more sophisticated language, such as 'follow the teacher's instructions diligently.' Using more varied and precise vocabulary will improve the score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are grammatical errors, particularly in sentence structure and word order. For example, 'qualities of a good student is...' should be 'qualities of a good student are...' The student needs to focus on improving grammatical accuracy and using a wider range of grammatical structures. More complex sentence structures would enhance the response.
