Pronunciation

Your pronunciation is quite good. Working on consistency and tackling difficult sounds may enhance clarity.

Task Response

The response addresses the question directly and provides relevant information about the hobby. The answer could be improved by providing more specific details and varied vocabulary.

Fluency & Coherence

The response is generally understandable, but there are noticeable pauses and some repetition. The ideas are connected, but the overall flow could be improved with better use of linking words and phrases. To improve coherence, try to vary sentence structure and use conjunctions to link ideas more smoothly.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate for the topic, but it is quite basic and repetitive. The candidate uses simple words and phrases. To improve, try to incorporate a wider range of vocabulary related to hobbies and sports. For example, instead of just saying 'play football,' you could use terms like 'practice drills,' 'compete in matches,' or 'improve my skills.' Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical errors in the response, including incorrect verb forms ('play football' instead of 'playing football'), missing articles ('My school has big stadium' should be 'My school has a big stadium'), and incorrect preposition use ('in this stadium my friend' should be 'in this stadium with my friends'). To improve, focus on practicing basic grammar rules and sentence structures. Pay attention to verb tenses, articles, and prepositions.
