Pronunciation

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

Task Response

Your answer addresses the question directly, but it could benefit from more specific examples or details to illustrate the challenges you face with reading in English. Expanding on why vocabulary is a barrier and how it affects your comprehension would strengthen your response.

Fluency & Coherence

The response is somewhat coherent, but there are noticeable hesitations and repetitions ('I have'). The ideas are presented, but the flow could be smoother. Try to organize your thoughts more clearly before speaking to avoid unnecessary pauses and repetitions. Using cohesive devices like 'however,' 'therefore,' or 'in addition' can help improve coherence.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is limited and there's an odd phrase 'one thousand persons' which is not natural. Expand your vocabulary by reading more and actively learning new words in context. Focus on using more precise and natural expressions.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is mostly accurate, but there are some errors ('I can't understand on one thousand persons'). Work on using a wider range of grammatical structures and pay attention to prepositions and article usage. Review basic sentence structures and practice forming complex sentences.
