Male Female

I started studying English when I was six years old in primary school, and I continued in high school. At university, I studied law in Budapest, which was taught in Hungarian. However, I did have a couple of legal English classes. I think what made the most difference for me was when I went abroad and had to speak English with native speakers. In 2012, I spent four months in the US, and I spent a lot of time talking with American people.

Pronunciation

7.5

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

Task Response

This is a good response that covers the timeline of the candidate's English language learning journey. To improve, consider adding more detail about specific learning methods or challenges faced, and how they were overcome. Elaborating on the impact of the time spent in the US would also strengthen the response.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent and well-structured. The narrative flows smoothly. Minor repetition ('I spent... I mean, I spent') could be avoided for improved fluency. Consider using more sophisticated linking words to enhance the flow, such as 'Furthermore,' 'Moreover,' or 'In addition to this'.

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is adequate and appropriate for the task. More precise and sophisticated vocabulary could be used. For example, instead of 'a lot of time talking,' consider 'engaging in extensive conversations' or 'immersed myself in conversations'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammar is mostly accurate with only minor slips. The sentence 'I have started studying English when I was six years old...' is slightly awkward; a more natural phrasing would be 'I started studying English when I was six years old...' or 'I began studying English at the age of six.' The overall grammatical range is good, but using more complex sentence structures would enhance the score.
