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

Task Response

The response is partially relevant to the question. While it addresses what the speaker does when unable to sleep, it doesn't fully explain why those actions are taken or directly address the dream recall aspect of the question. Consider elaborating on the reasons behind your chosen actions and providing a more direct answer to the dream recall question for a more complete response.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is understandable, but the structure could be improved. The connection between feeling happy and not being able to sleep is unclear. A more logical flow would enhance coherence. Minor repetition ('and' is used frequently) could be reduced.

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is adequate but lacks precision. Phrases like "hang out" are informal. More sophisticated vocabulary would improve the score. The word "bitminton" shows a minor spelling error, which could be avoided with more careful attention to detail.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammar is mostly correct, but there are some errors. The sentence structure is simple. More complex sentence structures and accurate use of articles would improve the score. For example, "a sleep" should be "to sleep" or "asleep".
