Lexical ResourceThe range and precision of your words, including natural phrases and paraphrasing when you don’t know a word.
Grammatical Range and AccuracyA mix of simple and complex sentences, and how many of them are free of errors.
PronunciationHow easy you are to understand, including stress, rhythm and intonation.
