Pronunciation

Your pronunciation is above average. However, you may find complexity in certain words challenging. Regular practice should aid in improvement.

Task Response

4.5

The answer is relevant to the question and demonstrates some understanding of the topic. However, it lacks depth and personal experience. To improve, consider adding specific examples of how your interest in international business developed, perhaps mentioning a particular event, experience, or person that influenced your decision. Elaborating on your career aspirations within this field and how the major helps you achieve them would also strengthen your response. The response could be expanded as it currently feels quite brief.

Fluency & Coherence

6.5

The answer is coherent and mostly fluent. There is some repetition and slightly hesitant phrasing ("And you know"), but the overall flow is good. Improving the pacing and reducing filler words would enhance fluency.

Lexical Resource

6.5

The vocabulary is adequate and mostly accurate. Words like "globalization" are used appropriately. However, more precise and sophisticated vocabulary could be used to describe the aspects of international business. For example, instead of 'commercial between countries,' consider using terms like 'cross-border transactions' or 'international trade relations'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

5.5

Grammar is mostly accurate, but there are some minor errors. The sentence structure could be improved for greater complexity and accuracy. For example, the phrase 'many activities across the border such as each trade, sale or purchase the goods and service' is grammatically awkward and could be restructured for clarity and precision. Focusing on more complex sentence structures would improve this aspect.
