Pronunciation

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

Task Response

The answer is relevant to the question and demonstrates a good understanding of the topic. Consider expanding on the types of stress experienced during studies and how you manage them more broadly, not just during exams. Adding specific examples of stress management techniques would also strengthen the response.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent and mostly fluent. Minor repetition and self-correction are present. Improving the flow by using more sophisticated linking words would enhance fluency. For example, instead of 'and then answer,' you could say 'before answering' or 'and only then answer'.

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is adequate but not highly sophisticated. Words like 'stressed' and 'excited' are appropriately used, but more precise vocabulary could be employed to describe the feelings. For example, instead of 'stressed,' you could use 'anxious' or 'under pressure.'

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammar is mostly accurate, but there are minor errors. 'Clam down' should be 'calm down,' and the phrasing 'beat to all calm my stresses' is grammatically incorrect and unclear. More complex grammatical structures could be used to improve the score. For example, using a subordinate clause to explain the calming process would be beneficial.
