Male Female

I prefer to do shopping with my friends because, as I previously mentioned, I used to do most of my shopping online. I'm not very comfortable communicating with the shopkeepers and finding most of the clothes that I want. So when I go with my friends, it's easier for me because I want to know or get advice from them about whether the dresses suit me or not. Also, regarding bargaining for the price, I get help from them. So I recommend my friends to go with me for shopping.

Pronunciation

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

The answer is relevant to the question and provides sufficient detail. Consider expanding on the reasons behind your preference, providing more specific examples to illustrate your points. Focus on clearer articulation of your thoughts to enhance fluency.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is understandable, but there are noticeable hesitations and repetitions ("I used to do"). Smoother transitions between ideas would improve fluency. Consider pausing briefly to collect your thoughts before speaking, rather than using filler words like "um."

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is adequate, but some imprecise word choices are present. For example, "subkeepers" is not quite right; "shopkeepers" is more accurate. Using more precise and sophisticated vocabulary will enhance your score. The phrase "bargaining of the prize" could be improved to "bargaining for the price" or "negotiating the price."

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical errors, such as incorrect preposition usage ("go with to my friends"), and tense inconsistencies. While the overall message is clear, improving grammatical accuracy is crucial for a higher score. Focus on subject-verb agreement and correct use of prepositions and articles.
