Pronunciation

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

Task Response

The answer is relevant and coherent. Consider expanding on specific examples of shared activities or experiences to further illustrate your closeness with your mother. Adding details will make your response more engaging and demonstrate a wider range of vocabulary and grammatical structures.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent and easy to follow. Minor improvements could be made by using more sophisticated linking words and phrases to enhance the flow of ideas. The slight hesitation at the beginning ('Actually') could be replaced with a more natural-sounding introduction.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is appropriate and accurate. More sophisticated vocabulary could be used to describe the relationship with the mother. For example, instead of 'close', words like 'intimate' or 'deeply bonded' could be used. The phrase 'spending time talking and cooking together' is a bit simplistic; more descriptive language could add richness.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is mostly accurate, with only a minor preposition error ('with me' should be 'to me'). The sentence structure is simple but effective. Using more complex sentence structures would improve the grammatical range.
