Well, today I'm going to talk to you about my old friend that I got in contact with again. His name is Dien Dac, and we were classmates in secondary school. However, after leaving secondary school, we studied at different high schools. One day, when I was surfing the internet, I came across his Facebook account. I stalked him a little bit and asked him if he remembered me. He accepted my friend request, and after that, we started messaging each other. We went to a coffee shop to talk about our daily lives. After a long time, I feel that he is a friendly and funny person. He talked a lot about funny stories from his high school days.

Pronunciation

5
Your pronunciation is average. It is understandable but not always accurate. Focusing on the rhythm and stress patterns of English could prove beneficial.

Task Response

6
The answer is good, but it could be improved by adding more details and depth to the description of the friend and the experience of reconnecting. Consider expanding on specific shared memories, inside jokes, or significant life events discussed during your reunion. Adding more sensory details and emotions would also enhance the response.

Fluency & Coherence

6
The answer is understandable, but there are noticeable hesitations and repetitions ('when I when I', 'so so'). Smoother delivery and more concise phrasing would improve fluency. The structure is generally coherent, but could benefit from more sophisticated linking words and phrases to enhance the flow.

Lexical Resource

6
Vocabulary is adequate, but lacks precision in places. Phrases like 'stalk him a little bit' are informal and not ideal for this context. More sophisticated vocabulary choices would elevate the response. The use of 'mixing' instead of 'messaging' shows a slight weakness in lexical range.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

5
Grammatical errors are present ('we is', 'are study', 'they talk if'). While the overall message is clear, consistent accuracy is lacking. Improving grammatical accuracy, particularly in verb tenses and subject-verb agreement, is crucial for a higher score. More complex grammatical structures could also be incorporated.
