Try using synonyms for the above words

Pronunciation

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 quite brief and lacks detail. Consider expanding on your descriptions of Samarkand, providing more specific examples of changes and attractions. Elaborating on your childhood experiences would also strengthen the response. Try to incorporate more descriptive language to paint a vivid picture for the listener.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is understandable but lacks fluency. There are some hesitations and unnatural phrasing. The structure could be improved by using more cohesive devices to link ideas. For example, instead of listing changes, describe them in a more flowing manner. Practice speaking more smoothly and connecting your ideas with transition words like 'also,' 'in addition,' 'furthermore,' etc.

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is adequate but could be more precise and varied. The phrase 'almost changed there' is unclear. Using more descriptive language to describe the changes in Samarkand would improve the score. Try using more specific vocabulary to describe the types of changes, for example, instead of 'skyscrapers,' you could say 'modern high-rise buildings' or describe the architectural style. Instead of 'other places,' specify what those places are.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammar is mostly correct but contains some errors. The sentence 'There is a historical city in Uzbekistan which is located in Samarkand' is redundant. 'In our year, tourists or visitors came here' is grammatically incorrect and unclear. Work on sentence structure and accuracy. Pay attention to articles (a, an, the) and subject-verb agreement. Practice using a wider range of grammatical structures, such as passive voice and complex sentences.

Do you do more exercise now than when you were a child?

I think I became less active over it because when I was a child I spent hours outside with my friends. I played team games like football, volleyball, but now I have lots of responsibilities related to academic tasks. That’s fine. Currently I try to compensate sporty exercises walking around the block.
