Male Female

Currently, I live in shared accommodation. It's a two-bedroom apartment. I'm renting the bigger room. I have one flatmate; she's from Argentina. She has the second smaller room, which is smaller than mine. Not long ago, I used to live in my own rented apartment, but unfortunately, the owner sold the apartment, and I had to move out. The current apartment actually belongs to my friend, so she kindly allowed me to live in her place.

Pronunciation

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

Task Response

This is an excellent response. You have provided a detailed and natural answer, fully addressing the prompt. Consider adding a sentence or two about what you like or dislike about your current living situation to further enrich your response.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is understandable, but there are noticeable hesitations and repetitions ('um', 'um'). Smoother delivery and reduced filler words would improve fluency. The information is presented in a logical order, though.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is adequate and appropriate for the topic. Words like 'shared accommodation,' 'flatmate,' and 'apartment' are used correctly. More precise language could be used in places; for example, instead of 'It's a go' a more descriptive phrase would be better. A wider range of vocabulary would elevate the score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are some grammatical inaccuracies, such as 'I'm owning, I'm, um, renting' which is unclear and grammatically incorrect. While the overall message is clear, more precise grammar and sentence structures would improve the score. The use of simple tenses is adequate, but more complex grammatical structures would demonstrate a wider range.
