Pronunciation

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

Task Response

The response addresses the question, but the ideas are not fully developed. There are some hesitations and the response could benefit from more specific examples and a clearer structure.

Fluency & Coherence

The response is hesitant and lacks coherence. There are several pauses and self-corrections. The ideas are not clearly linked, making it difficult to follow the speaker's train of thought. To improve, practice speaking more smoothly and organizing your thoughts before you begin to speak. Use cohesive devices to link your ideas together.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is limited and lacks precision. The speaker uses simple words and phrases, and there is some inaccuracy in word choice. To improve, expand your vocabulary by reading more and learning new words in context. Practice using a wider range of vocabulary in your speaking. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar contains several errors, including incorrect verb tenses ('don't like reading the books, but nobody's', 'started 20-25 years'), incorrect article usage ('interest reading books'), and awkward sentence structure. To improve, review basic grammar rules and practice using a variety of sentence structures. Pay attention to verb tenses, articles, and prepositions.
