A beautiful natural place that I visited last year was called Waisu. It is located in my municipality in Boko Village, just 5 kilometers from the city, Kota Lama. That's how we call it. You can travel there by public transportation, which only costs 25 cents, or you could use your own transportation. I went there with my friends, my cousins, and some nephews. We didn't plan to go there; we were trying to go to the public pool, which is also located inside the city. At five in the morning, we planned it out, and at three o'clock in the afternoon, we went to the pool. It was Sunday, so the pool was closed because the water was dirty. The owner had to clean the pool because a lot of kids had been swimming there, and it was unclean, so they had to clean it before reusing it. At that time, I thought I had to take them to another natural place that they would like. A friend suggested we go to the new waterfall named Waisu, which is just five to ten minutes from the city. So we went there.

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 addresses the first three prompts (where it is, when you went, and what you did) but fails to address the final part of the task: explaining why the place was beautiful. To improve, ensure that every bullet point in the prompt is covered in detail. The narrative focuses heavily on the backstory of why the group went to the waterfall rather than describing the waterfall itself. In future responses, try to balance the context with descriptive language regarding the scenery, atmosphere, and specific sensory details to satisfy the 'why' component of the topic.

Fluency & Coherence

The speaker's fluency is hindered by significant hesitation and a lack of logical progression. The narrative becomes quite circular, especially when explaining the situation with the public pool. While the speaker attempts to connect ideas, the use of cohesive devices is limited, and the story feels more like a stream of consciousness than a structured response to the prompt. To improve, focus on using signposting language (e.g., 'Initially, we intended to...', 'However, due to an unexpected issue...', 'Consequently, we decided to...') to guide the listener through the story.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is functional but very basic and repetitive (e.g., using 'clean', 'dirty', 'pool', and 'place' multiple times). There is a lack of descriptive adjectives to fulfill the 'beautiful' aspect of the prompt. To reach a higher band, you need to use more precise and evocative language to describe nature. Instead of saying 'the water was dirty,' you could say 'the water was murky' or 'contaminated.' Instead of 'beautiful place,' try 'scenic landscape,' 'picturesque waterfall,' or 'stunning natural attraction.' Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are frequent grammatical errors that occasionally impede communication. Notable issues include subject-verb agreement ('we was trying' instead of 'we were trying'), incorrect tense usage, and awkward sentence structures ('which is also it which is just inside the our'). The speaker relies heavily on simple sentence structures. To improve, practice using complex sentences with relative clauses and ensure that your past tense forms are consistent throughout the narrative, as you are describing a completed event in the past.
