Your pronunciation is above average. However, you may find complexity in certain words challenging. Regular practice should aid in improvement.

Task Response

This is a good start to answering the question. However, to achieve a higher score, you could expand on your answer by providing more details about your family dynamics, your relationships with your family members, and specific anecdotes or examples to illustrate your points. Consider adding details about your sisters' personalities or your family's traditions and activities. The response could be expanded as it currently feels quite brief.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent and mostly fluent. There are a few noticeable hesitations ('um', 'uh'), but they don't significantly impede understanding. Improving fluency would involve reducing these fillers and speaking more smoothly. Consider practicing speaking about your family without pausing to think of the words.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is appropriate and accurate, showing a good range of words to describe family members and professions. Words like 'dedicated' and 'successful' demonstrate a good level of precision. To improve, try using more descriptive and nuanced vocabulary. For example, instead of 'successful businessman,' you could describe the type of business or his achievements.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is mostly accurate, but there are a few minor errors. The phrase 'her sister, currently based in Taiwan' is a little unclear as it's not explicitly stated that 'her' refers to the speaker's mother. Also, the sentence structure could be improved for better flow. Focus on using a wider range of grammatical structures, such as complex sentences, to enhance your score.
