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 response is relevant to the question and demonstrates a basic understanding of the topic. However, it lacks depth and detail. To improve, consider expanding on the types of social skills and providing specific examples. A broader range of pre-school skills could also be included.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is understandable, but there's some repetition and hesitation. The structure could be improved by removing phrases like "around these words" and streamlining the sentence structure. Focus on clearer articulation and a smoother flow of ideas.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is basic. While "social skills" and "connections" are appropriate, more precise vocabulary could be used to describe specific skills like sharing, cooperation, or communication. Try to use more sophisticated synonyms and avoid repetition.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are some grammatical errors, such as the repetition of "sociable" and the slightly awkward phrasing. While the main idea is conveyed, improving grammatical accuracy and sentence structure would significantly enhance the response. Practice using a wider range of grammatical structures.
