Task Response

6.5

The student provides a relevant answer to the question, mentioning a specific building in their hometown. However, the answer lacks detail and could be expanded upon. For example, the student could describe the house's appearance or the specific stories they heard about it.

Fluency & Coherence

The student speaks with some hesitation, using fillers like "um" and "uh." The answer is generally coherent, but the structure could be improved by using more connecting words and phrases to link ideas. For example, the student could use "because" to explain why they were scared of the house.

Lexical Resource

The student uses a range of vocabulary, including "famous," "haunted," and "scared." However, the vocabulary is not particularly sophisticated or precise. The student could use more descriptive language to paint a clearer picture of the house and the stories they heard.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The student demonstrates good grammatical control, using a variety of sentence structures. There are a few minor errors, such as the use of "Where" instead of "where" and the incorrect use of "put our leg." The student could benefit from practicing using more complex grammatical structures, such as conditional clauses.
