Your pronunciation is average. It is understandable but not always accurate. Focusing on the rhythm and stress patterns of English could prove beneficial.

Task Response

The answer is relevant to the question and provides a reasonable explanation. Consider expanding on the underlying psychological or social mechanisms that contribute to guilt, rather than just stating the consequences. More specific examples could strengthen the response. The response could be expanded as it currently feels quite brief.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent and mostly fluent. However, the phrasing 'After making mistakes and feeling guilty are obviously because...' is slightly awkward and could be improved for greater fluency. Consider restructuring this sentence for better flow.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate and conveys the intended meaning. Words like 'redeem' and 'enhance' show a good range. However, more precise vocabulary could elevate the response. For example, instead of 'serious damage,' consider using more specific terms depending on the context of the mistake.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are some grammatical inaccuracies. The sentence structure in the first part is grammatically incorrect. The use of 'actually' is repetitive. While the message is understandable, focusing on grammatical accuracy will improve the score. Practice using more complex sentence structures while maintaining accuracy.
