Pronunciation

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

Task Response

The answer stays on topic and directly addresses the question about future plans. It provides a clear and coherent response, mentioning education, career, and travel. To enhance the response, consider adding more specific details or a brief explanation of how these goals will be achieved, which would demonstrate deeper elaboration and a more natural, native-like flow.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is generally coherent and organized, with a clear progression from education to career to travel. However, there are some issues with fluency due to the phrase 'I also want to abroad' which is a grammatical error that disrupts the flow. The answer could be improved by using more cohesive devices to link ideas, such as 'Additionally' or 'Furthermore', and by ensuring all sentences are complete and grammatically correct to maintain smooth delivery.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is appropriate for the topic, with words like 'completed', 'stable job', 'practical skills', and 'exploring different cultures'. However, there is a lack of precision and flexibility. For example, 'make experience related to these countries' is awkward and could be replaced with 'gain experience in these countries' or 'acquire cultural insights'. To achieve a higher score, use more varied and precise vocabulary, such as 'secure a position', 'develop a solid skill set', and 'immerse myself in diverse cultures'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The answer contains a few grammatical errors that affect accuracy. The most notable is 'I also want to abroad' which should be 'I also want to go abroad'. Additionally, 'make experience' is incorrect; it should be 'gain experience' or 'make experiences'. The sentence 'I want to build a new foundation to practical skills' should be 'I want to build a new foundation of practical skills'. The range of grammatical structures is limited, with mostly simple and compound sentences. To improve, use a variety of complex structures, such as conditional sentences or relative clauses, and ensure all verbs and prepositions are used correctly.
