Pronunciation

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 improve, you could add more details and specific examples to illustrate your points. For example, you could describe a specific memory or event that highlights your family's closeness or your parents' personalities. Adding more descriptive language will make your response more engaging and demonstrate a higher level of fluency. The response could be expanded as it currently feels quite brief.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is understandable, but there are some noticeable hesitations and fillers ('uh', 'um'). Smoother transitions between ideas would improve fluency. Consider pausing briefly to collect your thoughts before speaking, rather than using fillers.

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is adequate, but could be more precise and varied. Instead of 'great and successful businessman,' consider a more descriptive phrase that highlights specific qualities or achievements. Similarly, 'dedicated teacher' could be enhanced. Using more sophisticated vocabulary will elevate your score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical errors. 'Had mst her' is incorrect; it should be 'has taught.' The sentence structure is sometimes awkward. Practice using a wider range of grammatical structures, such as complex sentences, to improve accuracy and sophistication.
