Pronunciation is clear and natural-sounding all through the test. Certain individual sounds and intonation patterns are unusual, but they never cause misunderstanding.




Comments
Generally good grammatical control. Very few errors with simple forms, only with pronouns (something to work on). Attempts some complex grammatical forms, but perhaps could have
been a little more ambitious. Demonstrates a range of appropriate vocabulary on the familiar topic of cities, though again could perhaps have been more ambitious.



Comments
Speaks for the full minute so appropriate in length, though a little slow and hesitant at times. Relevant and well organised, though could compare the pictures in a more explicit way.
Coherent and easy to follow, though could use more sophisticated connecting devices.





Comments
Introduces new ideas, reacts naturally and appropriately to what partner says, involves partner in discussion. Contributions, while relevant, tend to be quite short. Mostly comments on what she likes, and only addresses more general questions in response to her partner’s prompting.
