My unforgettable trip is to Wuhan. On March 1st of this year, I went to Wuhan with my cousin, and we took part in the music festival. We traveled around Wuhan, visiting many beautiful sights and taking many photos. We also enjoyed a lot of delicious food because we both like spicy food, so we wanted to go to a local restaurant. I remember this journey so well because it was my first time traveling with my cousin, and I took care of her well. I spent a lot of money that I had worked hard for, and in my opinion, we had a great time.

Pronunciation

Your pronunciation is above average. However, you may find complexity in certain words challenging. Regular practice should aid in improvement.

Task Response

The response addresses the prompt, but could benefit from more detail and elaboration. Consider expanding on the 'beautiful sights' and 'delicious food' mentioned, providing specific examples. Additionally, elaborating on how you 'took care of' your cousin would strengthen the response. The answer is generally clear, but adding more descriptive language and personal reflection would enhance its impact. The response could be expanded as it currently feels quite brief.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is generally understandable, but there are noticeable pauses and hesitations ('And then,' 'And we'). The structure is somewhat repetitive, relying heavily on 'And' to connect ideas. To improve, try using a wider range of cohesive devices (e.g., 'Moreover,' 'Furthermore,' 'In addition to that') and varying sentence structures to create a more natural flow.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate for the task, but it lacks precision and variety. Phrases like 'beautiful views' and 'delicious food' are quite general. To enhance your lexical resource, try to use more specific and descriptive words. For example, instead of 'beautiful views,' you could say 'stunning landscapes' or 'picturesque scenery.' Instead of 'delicious food,' you could describe the specific dishes and flavors you enjoyed.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical errors that affect the clarity of the response. For example, 'I should talk her care well, took care her well' is grammatically incorrect. The correct phrasing would be 'I had to take good care of her.' Also, 'it's my first time go to travel' should be 'it was my first time traveling.' To improve, focus on practicing sentence construction and reviewing basic grammar rules. Pay attention to verb tenses, subject-verb agreement, and correct use of prepositions.
