Pronunciation

7.5

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

Task Response

The response is relevant and provides a clear example. Consider expanding on the experience by describing the challenges faced or the positive aspects of using the map. Adding details would enhance the response.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent and easy to follow. However, there is some unnatural phrasing, such as "Actually it was on the last month." A more natural phrasing would be "Actually, it was last month." The answer could also benefit from a slightly smoother flow. Consider pausing briefly between sentences to improve pacing and clarity.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate and appropriate for the task. Words like "allocate" could be replaced with more natural-sounding synonyms, such as "find" or "locate." Using more precise language would enhance the response.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are some grammatical errors, such as the incorrect use of "I and my family." The correct phrasing is "My family and I." The sentence structure is also somewhat simple. Using more complex sentence structures would demonstrate a wider grammatical range. For example, combining the last two sentences into one would improve the flow and demonstrate more grammatical sophistication.
