Polished transcript:

Male Female

I watch movies that help me live better without oversharing because I was attracted to people who had a chance to express themselves for others. But after watching this movie, I understood how important it is to express oneself for others without suppressing feelings. When you can share your own thoughts with the public, you can accept what others think about you. I would like to work with these feelings because I have a lot of emotions like shyness and anxiety when I start to share my ideas with many people. I aspire to work like a businesswoman who has decided to be more confident and calm.

I watch movies that helps me live better without over singing because I was attracted to people who got a chance of singing all-on-seeing for other people. But after watching this movie I could understand how important it is all-on-seeing for other people without embracing feelings. Because when you can say your own thing for all other people in public you can accept all other people’s think about you and I would like to work with these feelings because I have a lot of feelings like shy and breast thing when I start to talk my own ideas for a lot of people and I would like to work like business women who decided to be more confident and calm.

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 final part of the prompt regarding how a movie influenced your perspective, but it fails to address the first three bullet points. To improve, you must include the specific title of the movie, a summary of its plot (what it was about), and the context of when you first saw it. A complete answer requires a narrative structure that covers all requirements of the task. Focus on providing specific details and personal anecdotes to ensure the response is fully developed and meets all the criteria of the prompt. The response could be expanded as it currently feels quite brief.

Fluency & Coherence

The speaker struggles to maintain a coherent flow. The connection between the initial idea (watching movies) and the specific impact of the movie is quite loose. There is a lack of logical progression and cohesive devices to guide the listener through the story. To improve, use signposting language (e.g., 'Initially, I used to...', 'However, after watching this film...', 'As a result...') to structure your response according to the bullet points provided in the prompt.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is quite limited and there are significant errors in word choice that impede meaning (e.g., 'over singing' instead of 'oversharing', 'all-on-seeing' instead of 'expressing', and 'breast thing' instead of 'anxiety'). While the refined answer clarifies these, the raw performance shows a struggle to find the precise words needed to discuss abstract concepts like emotions and social interaction. Focus on learning collocations related to emotions and personality traits.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are frequent grammatical errors, particularly in subject-verb agreement ('movies that helps') and sentence structure. The speaker relies on simple structures and struggles to form complex sentences accurately. The attempt to explain the 'how' of the influence results in fragmented ideas. Work on mastering basic tense consistency and practicing complex sentence structures using subordinating conjunctions like 'because', 'although', and 'which'.
