Hi there.
Here are my points

- First of all, you have chosen a very simple topic. try more difficult ones.
- do not speak as if you are reading a newspaper. you should sometimes go load, down, turn back to a word or sentence, laugh, etc.
- you use very simple and ordinary grammar and words.

I think you will get 5 or 5.5

and BTW, where is the second part. try to speak about a cue card (topic) and post it too. Based on that, we can better assess your speaking power

Hey, Right.
Thanks for sharing your recording. It was a bit short and on a rather basic topic, but I can point out a few things to possibly help you improve.
First, you were pretty conversational, so it didn’t sound to me like you were reading something. That is a good place to start.
Next, I would encourage you to expand your vocabulary by making recordings of yourself speaking on different topics. Listen to those topics, and write down the words you say over and over again. Then go to thesaurus.com, and try to find some suitable synonyms for those words. Repeat answering the questions in a recording again, and use the new vocabulary. Also use the new words in conversations in English.
You used some form of the word “refresh” at least three times in your recording, and you also used “environment” more than once. I would start with finding synonyms for these words first.
Here are some grammar notes:
I like to hear – I would like to hear
Exam at 12th September – ON THE 12th of September
I just sat there doing nothing – You are talking about a habit, so it needs to be in the present tense.
I agree that you might try some more difficult topics on cue cards for parts 2 and 3 and upload those recordings for a more in-depth assessment of your speaking.
Best wishes as you continue to practice!
