A person who encouraged me to achieve a goal is my teacher. He is a math teacher. I was stuck on a question that was very difficult to solve. I needed to do the right things, but I had no idea how to do them correctly. The teacher advised me to take notes. I did not fully understand the impact of that advice at the time. Eventually, by working hard, I got high marks on my math exam. He will definitely be the best person to encourage me to achieve my goal. It helped me a lot.

Task Response

5.5

The response is satisfactory, but it could be improved by providing more specific details about the teacher's help and the nature of the math problem. Elaborating on the process of taking notes and how it helped overcome the difficulty would strengthen the response. Adding more details about the goal and the feelings involved would also enhance the answer. The response could be expanded as it currently feels quite brief.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is understandable, but there are some hesitations and repetitions ("you know", "the, which is very difficult"). A more polished delivery with smoother transitions between ideas would improve fluency. The structure is mostly coherent, following the prompt's guidelines.

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is adequate but not particularly sophisticated. Words like "stuck", "advised", and "high marks" are simple and functional. Using more precise and varied vocabulary would enhance the response. For example, instead of 'high marks', you could say 'excellent grades' or 'a top score'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are some grammatical inaccuracies. For example, "I completely do not impact on that time" is grammatically incorrect. The sentence structure is relatively simple. More complex grammatical structures and error-free sentences would improve the score. Consider using a wider range of tenses and sentence structures.
