I use Google Maps a lot because I travel very little in the cities. As a result, I don't know any places in the cities. The last time I used a map was when I was finding a perfect IELTS institution near me. The map provided me the actual rating of the institution and the directions as well as information about that place.

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

Task Response

This is an excellent response. You effectively answered the question and provided relevant details. Consider adding a sentence or two about the experience of using the map to further enrich your answer.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is understandable, but there are some noticeable hesitations and filler words ('uh', 'um'). Improving fluency would involve reducing these and speaking more smoothly. The structure is generally coherent, but could be improved by more concise phrasing. Try to plan your response briefly before speaking to improve flow.

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is adequate, but some words could be more precise. 'Perfect IELTS institution' is a bit vague; consider using more specific language. The phrase 'actual weiting' seems to be a mistake and should be corrected to 'rating'. A wider range of vocabulary would enhance the response.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are some grammatical errors, such as the incorrect use of 'weiting' and the incomplete sentence at the end. While the overall message is clear, improving grammatical accuracy and sentence structure would significantly improve the score. Practice using a wider range of grammatical structures, paying attention to subject-verb agreement and sentence completion.
