Also, parents encourage them to be more confident and not to be afraid of the results of their decisions. However, there are some specific cases.

Your pronunciation is quite good. Working on consistency and tackling difficult sounds may enhance clarity.

Task Response

The answer is well-organized and coherent, directly addressing the question. Consider expanding on other potential sources of help beyond parents, such as teachers, friends, or older siblings, to demonstrate a wider understanding of the topic. Adding a brief concluding sentence would enhance the overall structure.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is well-organized and coherent. The speaker uses cohesive devices effectively to connect ideas. There is a slight hesitation in the middle, but overall fluency is good. Minor improvements could be made by smoothing out the transition between the general case and the exception.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate and mostly accurate. Words like "majority of cases" and "specific cases" show good range. However, more precise and sophisticated vocabulary could be used to enhance the response. For example, instead of 'scare from results', 'afraid of the consequences' would be more precise and sophisticated.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammar is mostly accurate, with only minor errors. The speaker uses a range of grammatical structures, but there are a few instances of slightly awkward phrasing. For example, 'he or she is ashamed of calling for help' could be improved to 'is ashamed to ask for help'. More complex sentence structures could be incorporated to demonstrate a wider range.
