Task Response

The response partially addresses the question by mentioning the first time the student used a computer in secondary school. However, there is some confusion in the explanation about the reason for using a computer. Providing more specific details about the experience would enhance the response.

Fluency & Coherence

The student shows some hesitancy and repetition in their speech, which affects the overall fluency. There are also some minor grammatical errors that disrupt the coherence of the response. Using more cohesive devices and practicing smoother delivery would improve fluency and coherence.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is somewhat limited, with some inaccuracies and repetitions ('great kid' instead of 'young kid'). The student could benefit from expanding their range of vocabulary and using more precise terms to express ideas more effectively.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical errors throughout the response, including tense inconsistencies ('I'm using' instead of 'I started using'), missing articles ('a' computer), and awkward phrasing ('require student need to buy'). Improving grammatical accuracy by practicing different sentence structures and verb tenses would elevate the score in this criterion.
