Pronunciation

Your pronunciation is below average and may be understood with some effort. Pay attention to common phonemes that are challenging for you.

Task Response

The answer is repetitive and does not fully address the question. Consider exploring the reasons behind the public's interest in celebrities, such as the role of media in shaping public opinion, the entertainment value, or the aspirational aspects of celebrity culture. More in-depth analysis would improve the response.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is repetitive, especially in the second half. While the main idea is clear, the structure could be improved by avoiding the repetition and perhaps adding a sentence explaining why this interest exists (e.g., 'This fascination stems from...').

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but lacks precision. Phrases like "type of dress" are not very precise. Using more specific vocabulary (e.g., 'clothing style,' 'fashion choices') would improve the score. The repetition of 'lifestyle' and 'life cycle' also limits the range of vocabulary.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar contains some errors, particularly in the repetition of phrases and the slightly awkward phrasing. While the basic sentence structure is correct, more complex grammatical structures would enhance the response. For example, instead of repeating 'People are keen to know...', a more sophisticated sentence structure could be used.
