Pronunciation

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

Task Response

The introduction is quite brief and lacks detail. Consider expanding on your work experience at the Ministry of Public Works and Housing, providing specific examples of projects or responsibilities. Elaborating on your academic background and its relevance to your current role would also strengthen your response.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent, but the fluency could be improved. There are a few hesitations and repetitions ("Okay", "I'm trying to start"). Smoother transitions between sentences would enhance fluency. Consider practicing speaking more naturally without pauses and repetitions.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is appropriate and accurate for the task. The candidate uses specific terms like "Bogor Agricultural Institute" and "Ministry of Public Works and Housing." More descriptive language could be used to make the introduction more engaging.

Grammar is mostly accurate. Minor errors such as the phrasing "I have my college" could be improved ("I attended college" or "I studied at college"). The candidate demonstrates a good range of grammatical structures, but more complex sentence structures could be incorporated to showcase a wider range.
