Try using synonyms for the above words

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 is relevant and provides a clear answer to the question. The ideas are generally well-explained. To improve, consider adding more specific details or examples to further elaborate on your reasons.

Fluency & Coherence

The response is generally coherent, but there are some hesitations and repetitions ('when I was young, when I'm sick'). Try to avoid unnecessary repetition and maintain a smoother flow by practicing common phrases and transitions.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but could be more precise. Using synonyms for 'useful' and 'positive' could enhance the response. For example, instead of 'useful knowledge,' consider 'valuable insights' or 'practical skills.' Instead of 'positive things,' try 'meaningful contributions' or 'beneficial impacts.' Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is mostly accurate, but there are a few errors ('when I'm sick' should be 'like every child'). Also, the sentence structure could be improved for better clarity and sophistication. For example, 'Because I think when I am a teacher' could be rephrased as 'Because I believed that as a teacher...'
