I have a microphone, I don't have a microphone, I have a stop recording, so it means we are now recording. I grew up in the country of Kenya, in Bermont County, and so on. After you're done with that, you stop recording, do your read, and then stop recording.

I have a microphone, I don’t have a microphone, I have a stop recording, so it means we are now recording. So I can say I grew up in the country Kenya, in Bermont County, blah blah blah and so on and so forth. After you’ve done with that, you stop recording, do your read, you stop recording.

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 partially relevant to the question, but it contains irrelevant information about recording. Focus on directly answering the question in a concise and natural way. Try to avoid unnecessary details or digressions.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is somewhat incoherent. The initial statements about the microphone are irrelevant and disrupt the flow. While the location is mentioned, the description lacks detail and is cut short. Focus on a clear and concise answer to the question, avoiding unnecessary digressions.

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is adequate, but limited. The phrase 'and so on' is overused and weakens the response. More descriptive language could be used to paint a richer picture of the speaker's upbringing.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammar contains some errors ('you've done' should be 'you're done'). Sentence structures are simple. More complex grammatical structures would improve the score. The answer is also grammatically incomplete.
