Hello!

Fluency - Good. Not many pauses.

Coherence - Good use of connectives.

Vocabulary - Good, with some higher level items, e.g. artificial turf, humble background

Grammar - Good basic grammar with some complex structures

Pronunciation - Some sounds are unclear, but you do have some intonation and stress.

Overall a good part 2 speech. I'd work mainly on pronunciation.

All the best,
David

Thanks for your evaluation, I'll definitely work on my pronunciation as much as I can as my test is on Friday. Will my current level of speech it fetch me 7 bands?

Hi David,

I gave my speaking test yesterday. It was the worst thing that I had ever imagined. I went wrong in the long turn...wherein I stared off with a topic and went completely off track to a separate topic but I managed to speak. I lost cohesion sometimes due to self corrections and also used my native language words twice in part 3. Can you tell me how can I stop myself from correcting myself? The problem for me is.. sometimes I start speaking and reach a certain point wherein I am searching for words as well as grammar and then I just abandon the sentence and start the same sentence with proper grammar and vocab.
