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

Task Response

The response is quite brief and doesn't fully address the prompt. It focuses more on the speaker's personal experience and the current trend rather than providing a general overview of school prizes in their country. Consider broadening the scope to include various types of prizes awarded and providing more details about them.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent and mostly fluent. There is a slight hesitation and a minor grammatical issue ("awarded with some prizes"), but overall the message is clear and easy to follow. Improving the fluency by reducing the pauses and refining the phrasing would enhance the response.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate and appropriate for the topic. Words like "accomplishments," "boost," and "motivation" are used effectively. More precise language could be used to describe the types of prizes, rather than just "small prizes." Exploring a wider range of vocabulary related to school awards would be beneficial.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is mostly accurate, but there are a few minor errors. The phrase "awarded with some prizes" is slightly awkward. The sentence structure is generally simple. Using more complex grammatical structures and ensuring consistent tense usage would improve the grammatical range and accuracy.
