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 answer is understandable, but lacks detail and natural flow. Consider expanding on the experience of using the internet for the first time, perhaps describing a specific website or activity. Improving the vocabulary and sentence structure will enhance the overall response.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is understandable, but there's noticeable repetition and some hesitation. Improving fluency would involve smoother transitions and reducing self-correction. Practice speaking more naturally and confidently will help.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but lacks precision. The phrase "hard phone" is unclear. Using more precise language, such as 'mobile phone' or 'landline,' would improve the score. Expanding vocabulary related to technology would be beneficial.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are some grammatical errors, particularly in sentence structure and article usage. Focusing on accurate sentence construction and appropriate article use will improve grammatical accuracy. Practice using a wider range of grammatical structures.
