Your pronunciation is above average. However, you may find complexity in certain words challenging. Regular practice should aid in improvement.

Task Response

The answer is somewhat unclear and drifts from the main topic. Focus on directly answering the question about asking for help, providing more detail about the situation and the help requested. Consider rephrasing to clearly explain the help sought and the outcome.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is understandable, but the narrative is slightly disjointed. Improving the flow of ideas and using more sophisticated linking words would enhance coherence. For example, instead of 'That's why I want to change them,' a more natural phrasing would be 'Therefore, I needed to exchange them.'

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is adequate but lacks precision. The phrase 'the clothes that I bought it' is grammatically incorrect and shows a lack of precise word choice. Using more specific vocabulary to describe the situation would improve the score. For example, instead of 'didn't fit my body,' you could say 'were too small' or 'were ill-fitting.'

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Several grammatical errors are present, such as 'I want to ask' (past tense needed), 'about to change' (awkward phrasing), and 'I bought it' (incorrect pronoun usage). Focusing on accurate tense usage and subject-verb agreement is crucial. Practice using a wider range of grammatical structures, such as passive voice or more complex sentence structures.
