I tell you about the person that impacted me in my life, which is my parents, my mother and my father. They impact me in different ways. I meet them almost every day, but I cannot meet them every day anymore because I went to school. So basically, I don't sleep at home; I sleep at school. I really love to meet them because we share a strong bond, share many stories, and give support and prayers to each other. It really helps me increase my confidence. I'm a typical person who needs support from outside to help my own spirit grow. This is very helpful for me as a person who needs support. They influence me by giving me prayers and words of affirmation. They really trust me, so that's how I trust myself too because of them.

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 it could be improved by providing more specific examples of how the parents influenced the student. More detail on the qualities of the parents and the specific ways their influence has shaped the student's life would strengthen the response. Consider adding more specific anecdotes to illustrate the points made.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent and mostly easy to follow. However, there are a few instances of unnatural phrasing and slight rambling, such as "I tell you about the person that impacted me in my life, is my parents" and the explanation about sleeping at school. More concise sentence structures would improve fluency. Consider using stronger linking words to improve coherence between ideas.

Lexical Resource

5.5

The vocabulary used is adequate and mostly accurate, but lacks sophistication. Words like "impact" and "support" are used repeatedly. More precise and varied vocabulary would enhance the response. For example, instead of 'impact,' consider synonyms like 'influence,' 'shape,' or 'affect,' depending on the context. Instead of 'support,' consider 'encouragement,' 'guidance,' or 'assistance.' Pay attention to vocabulary repetition to improve the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is mostly correct, but there are some errors in sentence structure and tense consistency. For example, "They impact me in different life" should be "They impact me in different ways." The use of simple sentence structures is prevalent. More complex grammatical structures and varied tenses would improve the score. Practice using a wider range of grammatical structures, such as passive voice and relative clauses.
