I am a person who is very interactive. So, if you ask me, is it a given to keep in touch with my friends? I used to use it and will make an appointment with them to meet me in person. Because having a relationship, having a meeting, when we are pleased to be, is much more interesting instead of by phone or via online. So that's how I usually keep in touch with my friends.

Pronunciation

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 stays on topic and addresses the question, but it could be more direct and natural. The phrasing 'is it a given to keep in touch with my friends?' is unclear and may confuse the listener. The response would benefit from clearer structure and more specific examples of how you keep in touch. Additionally, the final sentence is somewhat repetitive. Try to state your preferred method clearly and provide a brief reason or example to elaborate.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer has a clear structure with an introduction, explanation, and conclusion. However, there are noticeable issues with coherence due to unclear phrasing ('is it a given touch with my friends on my lead?') and some repetition ('having a relationship, having a meeting'). The flow is disrupted by self-correction and awkward transitions. To improve, practice organizing ideas more clearly and using cohesive devices like 'for example' or 'in addition' to link thoughts smoothly.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is basic but adequate for the topic. Some phrases are used incorrectly or awkwardly, such as 'I am entitled to person who is a very interactive person' (should be 'I am a very interactive person') and 'on my lead' (likely meant 'on my list' or 'in my life'). The range of vocabulary is limited, with repetition of 'meet' and 'interesting'. To improve, expand your vocabulary with synonyms and practice using precise terms like 'arrange', 'socialize', or 'face-to-face interaction'. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical errors that affect clarity. For example, 'I am entitled to person who is a very interactive person' is grammatically incorrect and confusing. The tense usage is inconsistent ('I used to use it and will make an appointment'), and there are missing articles and prepositions ('keep in touch with my friends on my lead'). The sentence 'when we are pleased to be' is incomplete and unclear. To improve, focus on constructing simple, accurate sentences and using correct tenses consistently. Practice with common structures like 'I usually...' and 'I prefer... because...'.
