Firstly, the main difference between acting in a theater and in a film is that, in a theater, actors and actresses are not allowed to make any mistakes because they cannot be corrected in front of a live audience. However, in a film, if they do something wrong, it can be easily corrected by taking the scene again and again. On the other hand, the decoration can be adjusted in a film if it's not suitable for the scene, while in a theater, you cannot change the decoration very much.

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

Task Response

The answer is well-organized and coherent, directly addressing the question's core. Consider expanding on other key differences, such as audience interaction, performance techniques (e.g., physicality vs. close-ups), and the overall creative process. More detailed examples would strengthen the response.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent and well-organized. The use of 'Firstly' and 'On the other hand' shows good organizational skills. There are a few hesitations ('uh'), but they don't significantly impede understanding. Try to reduce the hesitations for a higher score.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate and appropriate for the task. Words like 'corrected,' 'adjusted,' and 'suitable' are used effectively. Consider using more sophisticated vocabulary to express the nuances of the differences between stage and film acting. For example, instead of 'not good,' use 'unsuitable' or 'inappropriate'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are some grammatical inaccuracies. The sentence 'In a theater, actress and actresses are not allowed to do any mistakes' is grammatically incorrect. It should be 'actors and actresses' or 'actresses are not allowed to make any mistakes'. The phrasing could be improved for greater accuracy and naturalness. The repeated use of 'again and again' is slightly repetitive. More varied sentence structures would improve the score.
