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 relevant and coherent. Consider adding more detail about your initial experience with the internet. What did you do online? What was your impression? Elaborating on these points would strengthen your response.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is understandable but lacks fluency. There's noticeable repetition ("give me give me give me a computer") and self-correction. Improved fluency would come from smoother transitions and less hesitation. Practice speaking more naturally and confidently, focusing on a clearer narrative flow.

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is adequate but not highly sophisticated. Words like "plenty" are not quite the right fit. Expanding vocabulary with more precise and nuanced terms would improve the score. Consider synonyms for frequently used words to enhance expression.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammatical errors are present ("give me give me give me", incorrect tense usage). While the overall message is clear, consistent accuracy is lacking. Focus on improving tense consistency and sentence structure. Practice using a wider range of grammatical structures to express ideas more precisely.
