Hello!
Fluency - Quite a lot of pausing, which can 'disrupt' the overall speech.
Coherence - Good use of a range of connectives. I think that you could have ordered the sentences a bit better, but that's not a major issue unless you are looking for 7+.
Vocabulary - Very good range, but sometimes a little repetitive. I would have liked to have heard more specific details, e.g. how EXACTLY did you meet, where, etc.
Grammar - Good basic grammar but I thought there was a lack of range of complex structures.
Pronunciation - Clear with good intonation and stress.
Overall, good, but I think that you could easily improve this performance to 'very good'.
Well done!
David
