You know that I am a person who lets people borrow my things a lot, and I only do that with people that I really trust. So if they borrow my things and don't give them back, then I must tell their parents or the teacher to solve it and to get my things back. Although I trust them, I don't think that will ever happen.

Pronunciation

6.5

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

Task Response

The answer is relevant to the question and demonstrates a good understanding of the topic. Consider expanding on the reasons behind your trust in others and the potential consequences of not returning borrowed items. Adding more detail to your response would strengthen it further.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent and mostly fluent. There is a slight stumble in the middle ('to solve it and to make my things'), but the overall flow is good. Minor improvements in phrasing would enhance fluency.

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is adequate and mostly accurate. The phrasing 'make my things' is slightly inaccurate; 'get my things back' is more precise. More sophisticated vocabulary could be used to express the disappointment or frustration of having something borrowed and not returned.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammar is mostly accurate, but there are a few minor errors. The sentence 'I must tell their parents or the teacher to solve it and to make my things' is grammatically incorrect. The use of 'although' is correct, but the sentence structure could be improved for better clarity and flow. More complex grammatical structures would improve the score.

Are you interested in learning a new skill? Which one?

Yes, I’m very interested in learning new skills, especially practical ones like English speaking or video editing. I believe learning new skills helps me improve myself and stay competitive. For example, I’m currently preparing for the IELTS test.
