Hi Abbas!

Fluency - Speech is quite slow with quite a lot of unnecessary pausing

Coherence - Good range of connectives

Vocabulary - Quite basic, without specific details. Sometimes repetitive, e.g. who you went with

Grammar - Good basic grammar, but a lack of range of complex structures

Pronunciation - Clear with some intonation, but adversely affected to a some extent by slow speech

I think that you need to work on all aspects except coherence for a high score.
All the best,
David

Hello, abbasazarmehrput!

Thank you for talking about this amazing museum. It sure sounds like it would be awesome to visit.

You had a great introduction and conclusion. I would definitely encourage you to keep using those in your speeches.

Here are a few notes I made during this speech, which include some grammar and pronunciation pointers:

Have a different things for different people – no “a”
The museum that I’m going to talk about it – no “it”
Sculptures dated to 500 years ago – THAT dated to 500 years ago
/th/ pronunciation throughout, particularly with the word “there.”
/i/ - short /i/ sound sounds like /ee/. Work on saying words like “hit,” “sit.”
Peace upon him – Peace BE upon him.
If I had this chance to – If I had THE / A chance to. . .

Best wishes as you continue to practice!
