Try using synonyms for the above words

Pronunciation

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

Task Response

The response addresses the question but could benefit from more specific details about the dreams. Providing more concrete examples would enhance the answer.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is somewhat coherent but contains noticeable hesitations and repetitions ('I I'). The response could be improved by organizing the information more clearly and using cohesive devices to link ideas together more smoothly. Practice speaking more fluently without unnecessary pauses.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is basic and lacks precision. The word 'saveral' is a misspelling of 'several'. To improve, try to use a wider range of vocabulary related to childhood dreams and experiences. Focus on learning synonyms and more descriptive words. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical errors, including incorrect verb tenses ('When you was in child' should be 'When I was a child'), subject-verb agreement issues ('parents to purchase'), and awkward phrasing. Focus on practicing basic grammar rules, especially verb tenses, subject-verb agreement, and sentence structure. Review common grammatical errors and practice constructing grammatically correct sentences.
