Okay, I like ABBA music because it makes me feel comfortable. For example, I also like the Mamma Mia movie, so I can say that I'm obsessed with ABBA music. Their songs like 'Lay All Your Love on Me' make me feel so energetic, and they make me feel like we are in the summer season. It makes me comfortable, you know? Yeah.

Pronunciation

5.5

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 quite repetitive and lacks detailed explanation. Try to expand on why you enjoy specific aspects of the music, such as the instrumentation, lyrics, or cultural significance. Providing more diverse examples of music preferences would also strengthen your response.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is understandable, but there's noticeable repetition and some hesitant phrasing. Improving fluency would involve smoother transitions between ideas and reducing self-correction (e.g., 'because because').

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but lacks range. While the speaker successfully conveys their preference for ABBA, using more varied descriptive language would enhance the response. For example, instead of repeatedly saying 'comfortable,' explore synonyms like 'relaxed,' 'peaceful,' or 'content.'

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammatical errors are present, particularly with repeated conjunctions ('because because') and some sentence fragments. Focusing on sentence structure and avoiding unnecessary repetition will improve grammatical accuracy. Consider using more complex sentence structures to demonstrate a wider range.
