Thanks for all your helps. Guys.

What score will I get with this speaking audio in the real IELTS test?

And how could I improve my score?

Which part of the 4 criterion is the lowest part of my speaking?

I will take the speaking test on 2015.7.21.

Thanks with my heart.

Some good work. Much more fluent and better fillers. Good vocab and grammar in general.

Score? I don't think I can give you a score based on this one piece. If you want a full test and approximate score try the speaking tests on my-iteacher.com where the IELTS experts will do this for you.

Again your sentence stress and pronunciation need work but this is something that is not easily improved with a short text reply.

check the pronunciation of the words:
view
where
leisure
third
there
exercise
variety
materials
beautiful
fun

Check your meaning of these phrases...
roller skater rink?
Makes me feel released?
leave the heavy duty behind my mind?

It is better to use vocab you KNOW how to use rather than trying to be too clever.

Grammar
I know that it IS not real

This is a really good effort. What score do you need?
Good luck!

Hello, again, Kami.
Here are some notes and corrections:
Relax myself – where I like to relax / where I can relax
Cinema – don’t add r at the end of the word
Roller skate rink – roller skating rink
Where they could paint – where they CAN paint (“Could” indicates that the kids were able to paint there in the past, not in the present.)
Short I sound – tricks – sounds like “treeks”
They can disappear a human – They can make a human disappear.
Makes me feel released – makes me feel relaxed
Leave the heavy duty behind my mind – leave my heavy worries behind

I agree with the previous assessor that it is best to use vocabulary you know instead of trying to use words you don’t. It makes your speech sound awkward and forced. Practicing synonyms in the right context for each word can be helpful.
This speech sounded a bit more conversational than the one about the watch. You did a nice job of providing details and answering the question directly. Remember to try to use transition words and an introduction/conclusion to help organize the flow of your speech better for the benefit of your listeners.

Best wishes as you continue to practice!

I hope your exam went well.

I will pay attention to these points next time.

Plus, I pronounced these words one more time. Did I do it rightly this time?

Also, I have a high pitch of voice sound. But I have no idea of how to lower my speaking pitch.

Make sure you put your top teeth on your bottom lip when you say the letter "v." You will produce a vibration when you do so. You're saying the letter "b" sound right now. I've tried twice to get an audio or video recording to upload here to help you with the pronunciation of these words, but it won't work. I would recommend that you look these words up at dictionary.com and click on the audio recording of each word to help you say them correctly.

Any online dictionary would work, really.

Good effort ,

You just need little fluency along with very few corrections, make your voice more smooth and floating.
