Try using synonyms for the above words

Pronunciation

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

Task Response

The response directly addresses the question and provides relevant skills acquired from the previous job. The answer is detailed and provides specific examples. To further enhance the response, consider adding a brief explanation of how these skills were crucial in your role or the impact they had on patient care.

Fluency & Coherence

The response is somewhat coherent, but there are some hesitations and a slight lack of flow. The use of 'Piamé' is unclear and disrupts the flow. To improve, try to speak more smoothly and avoid unnecessary interjections. Practice organizing your thoughts before speaking to maintain a more consistent flow.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but lacks precision. The phrase 'give them a pass' is unclear and could be replaced with a more specific term. To enhance your lexical resource, try to use more precise and varied vocabulary related to nursing and patient care. For example, instead of 'give them a pass,' you could say 'provide them with a medical leave' or 'discharge them.'

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammatical range is limited, and there are some inaccuracies. For example, 'Too much scales' is grammatically incorrect. To improve, focus on using a wider range of grammatical structures and ensuring accuracy in your sentence construction. Practice using different tenses and sentence structures to express your ideas more effectively.

So all of the students need to pay the attention to remember the knowledge about the textbook. and they will lose a lot of time and energy to follow their hobbies such as dancing or drawing. And all behaviors will be judged […]

Did you like looking in mirrors when you were a child?

When I was a child, I always posted my body shape in front of the mirror, waiting for the funny faces in front of the mirror and pretending to be a hero. Looking back is what I’m intending to do when I didn’t possess a CLI vision.

What makes a video go viral online?

To be honest, I can’t give you a concrete answer. For me, I have operated a lot of social media in different media platforms. and I noticed there are some videos I think it has a good content but they don’t have a good data. On the other hand there are some videos even have […]
