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

Task Response

The response is relevant to the question and provides sufficient detail about the holiday activities. To improve, consider elaborating on specific locations visited or experiences that contributed to the strengthened bond with classmates. More descriptive language would enhance the answer.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent and easy to follow. Minor issues with fluency, such as the slight hesitation before "visit" and the slightly unnatural phrasing of "becomes stronger and stronger." Consider using more sophisticated linking words to improve coherence, such as 'Furthermore,' 'Moreover,' or 'In addition to'

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is adequate but could be more precise and varied. Instead of 'things like swimming, surfing,' consider more specific activities or descriptive language. The phrase 'our bond became stronger and stronger' is repetitive; a more concise and sophisticated alternative would improve the lexical range.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammar is mostly accurate, with a minor error in tense ('do things' should be 'did things'). Sentence structures are simple but effective. Using more complex sentence structures and a wider range of grammatical forms would enhance the score.
