I have borrowed books from others quite a lot because I like reading, especially White's Horizon, and it enhances my knowledge. Sometimes I borrow money from my siblings, but not from others outside the family. I don't like lending things to others because I don't feel very good when I lend money or something. I prefer to own everything myself.

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 topic questions, but could benefit from more detailed explanations and examples to fully develop each point. Consider elaborating on why you prefer to own everything yourself and providing specific instances related to borrowing and lending. The response could be expanded as it currently feels quite brief.

Fluency & Coherence

The response is generally understandable, but there are some hesitations and a lack of smooth flow. The ideas are presented, but the connections between them could be clearer. Try to use more linking words and phrases to improve coherence. For example, use 'furthermore,' 'in addition,' or 'however' to connect your ideas more logically.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but not particularly varied or precise. The phrase 'Whites Horizon' is unclear. Aim to use more specific and descriptive words to enhance your response. For example, instead of saying 'something,' try to specify what you mean.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical errors, such as incorrect verb forms ('I quite a lot of times borrowed'), subject-verb agreement issues ('it's make'), and awkward phrasing ('spread from family'). Focus on using correct verb tenses and sentence structures. Practice constructing grammatically accurate sentences to improve your score.
