Pronunciation

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 quite brief and could benefit from further elaboration. While the response directly addresses the question, expanding on the complexities of money's role beyond basic needs would strengthen the response. Consider discussing the social and psychological aspects of money, or exploring different perspectives on its importance.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is understandable, but the fluency is hampered by numerous fillers like "uh," "um," and "ah." More concise phrasing would improve coherence. Practice speaking without hesitation to improve fluency.

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is adequate but lacks sophistication. While the basic needs are mentioned, more nuanced vocabulary could be used to discuss the role of money in different aspects of life. Consider using words like 'essential,' 'fundamental,' 'acquisition,' or 'procurement' instead of simply 'buy'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammatical errors are present, particularly in sentence structure and the use of articles. The phrase "buy our happiness" is grammatically incorrect. Focus on improving sentence structure and grammatical accuracy. Practice using a wider range of grammatical structures.
