Well, it's the memories of me, right? I received a phone call from a person in public when I was in grade 11. As a person who usually does not pick up my phone when a stranger calls me, I never do it. But I know at that time I was happy or something, so I just picked up and listened to them. Maybe she was a seller. The main reason I know that is she asked if I had ordered this food. But I hadn't ordered any food because I don't order food online. I just order clothes or anything else, but I hadn't ordered food. She called me and asked where my house was and everything. I then said that maybe you called the wrong number and I hadn't ordered any food. She replied, okay, I'm sorry. And that was it. After the phone call,

Try using synonyms for the above words

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 is a good start but lacks detail and depth in several areas. Consider expanding on the setting (where exactly in public were you?), the conversation (what was the tone of the caller's voice? Did you feel any pressure to answer her questions?), and your feelings (what specific emotions did you experience before, during, and after the call?). More descriptive language would improve the overall quality.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is understandable and mostly coherent, but there are some instances of unnatural phrasing and repetition. Improving fluency would involve smoother transitions between ideas and more natural sentence structures. For example, instead of 'As a person who was not pick up my phone when a train called me, I never do it,' a more natural phrasing would be 'I usually don't answer calls from unknown numbers.'

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is adequate but not particularly sophisticated. While the speaker conveys the message clearly, using more precise and varied vocabulary would enhance the response. For example, instead of 'seller,' the speaker could use 'delivery person' or 'food delivery driver.' More descriptive language would also improve the response.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical errors, particularly in tense consistency and sentence structure. The speaker frequently uses simple sentence structures, limiting the grammatical range. Focusing on accurate tense usage and incorporating more complex sentence structures would significantly improve the grammatical accuracy and range. For example, 'I was called, make a phone call with person in public' should be corrected to 'I received a phone call from someone in public.' The use of past tense needs to be consistent throughout the answer.

What responsibilities do you think individuals have in preserving endangered languages?

Well, I think that local communities should have several activities in order to preserve and ensure languages.

For example, communities can organize a place where young people can expose to several languages that […]

Some people believe that social media has a negative impact on society. Do you agree or disagree?

A significant number of people think that social media has had a bad influence for society. I fully agree with these statements, assuming that those people changed their behavior and the people lost their time. For my perspective, social media is the biggest problem for all people. People learn many things and start to repeat […]
