Re: Speaking parts 1,2 and 3
Hello, Kezel,
Thank you for sharing your submissions. Overall, you were able to discuss a variety of topics without too much struggle. Your vocabulary was specific in some places (situated in, consists of), which is good, and you organized your thinking using transition words like "all in all" and "secondly."
Here are some points to work on:
1.) Fluency - Although you are fluent in general (knowing what you want to say without having too many pauses), your speed needs some work. During the second submission, you started out at a faster pace, but then you slowed down again. It feels as though you lack energy to the listener.
2.) Repetition - A couple of times ("three hours' drive," "individual house") you said the same vocabulary a few times without trying to find a synonym for the words. For example, you could say a "detached home" for an "individual house." Repetition also is not good for increasing your speed and overall fluency.
3.) Intonation and Expression - Your voice is monotone much of the time, meaning that you convey little excitement or emotion as you speak. While this won't likely knock too many points off your speaking score, it will help you improve your fluency.
4.) Grammar - There were not very many grammar mistakes, but I did notice that a time or two you had some difficulty finding the right verb for the subject, for example when you said, "everybody watch" instead of "Everybody watches" in the second section.
Best wishes as you continue to practice!
