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 comprehensive and directly addresses the question with relevant details. The answer is well-structured and provides a clear overview of the subjects studied.

Fluency & Coherence

The response is generally coherent, but there are some hesitations and awkward phrasing that affect the flow. For example, 'I took courses about to news, report, or read subjects' is not very fluent. Try to practice speaking more smoothly and naturally, focusing on clear articulation and avoiding unnecessary pauses. Using conjunctions and transition words more effectively can also improve coherence.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but could be more precise. The phrase 'contents of new media' is a bit vague; consider using more specific terms. To improve, focus on expanding your vocabulary related to media studies and using more precise language to describe concepts and ideas.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are some grammatical errors, such as 'I took courses about to news, report, or read subjects,' which should be 'I took courses about news, reporting, and related subjects.' Also, 'started the contents' should be 'studied the content.' While the overall meaning is clear, these errors detract from the accuracy. Focus on reviewing basic grammar rules and practicing sentence construction to improve accuracy.
