I learned English when I started primary school, but at that time I was afraid because my teacher didn't want to teach English to me. So I didn't like studying English very much. But when I started secondary school, my English teacher was very funny, kind, and of a similar age, so I liked English. I studied English a lot.

Your pronunciation is average. It is understandable but not always accurate. Focusing on the rhythm and stress patterns of English could prove beneficial.

Task Response

The answer is relevant to the question and provides some details about the candidate's experience learning English at school. However, to improve, consider expanding on the types of activities undertaken during English lessons and the impact of these activities on your language learning. Adding more specific examples would strengthen the response.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is understandable and coherent, but there are some fluency issues. The phrasing is sometimes awkward, and there's some repetition ("both age"). Improving sentence structure and reducing repetition would enhance fluency.

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is adequate but not particularly sophisticated. Words like "funny" and "kind" are simple and lack precision. Using more descriptive vocabulary would improve this aspect.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical errors. Incorrect tense usage ("I have learned...when I turn"), incorrect preposition ("for me"), and subject-verb agreement issues ("teacher don't want") are present. Focusing on accurate grammar and tense consistency is crucial.
