Yeah, there are differences between the way I celebrated. As I mentioned earlier, my last birthday was quite ordinary, with only my family and my cousin's family. However, when I was a young child, my birthday included lots of people, a big cake, and a festive atmosphere, I think.

Pronunciation

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

Task Response

The response addresses the question directly and provides a clear comparison between past and present birthday celebrations. Elaboration could enhance the answer further.

Fluency & Coherence

The response is generally coherent, but there are some slight hesitations. The use of 'actually' feels a bit out of place. Try to maintain a smoother flow by minimizing filler words and pauses. The structure is good, contrasting past and present celebrations.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but could be more varied. 'Festive atmosphere' is a good phrase. Consider using more descriptive words to enhance the response. For example, instead of 'lots of people,' you could say 'a large gathering of friends and relatives.'

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There's a minor grammatical error: 'there is differences' should be 'there are differences.' The rest of the grammar is mostly accurate. Focus on subject-verb agreement and use a wider range of sentence structures to improve grammatical range.
