Male Female

The movie that had a strong impact on me is called All Quiet on the Western Front. It's about World War One, and the main character of this movie is a teenager who wanted to go to war with his friends. However, by the end of the film, he dies, and it was a powerful film. It has a great impact on me. After watching this movie, I treasure my friends and those people who are valuable to me a lot. It teaches me to become more self-confident and to value the things I have now. I watched this movie a year ago. However, I have watched it maybe five or six times since then because it really interests me. The reason it influenced me so much is that the character is like a danger as I am, and as a danger, I can understand him; I can feel his feelings. In that film, they teach a lot about human qualities and humanity that are very important in those children's minds.

Pronunciation

Your pronunciation is quite good. Working on consistency and tackling difficult sounds may enhance clarity.

Task Response

The response addresses all parts of the prompt, including the title, the subject matter, when it was watched, and the reasons for its impact. The candidate provides personal reflections on how the film changed their perspective on friendship and self-confidence. To improve the score, the response could be developed further by providing more specific details about the plot or particular scenes that triggered these emotions. Additionally, expanding on the connection between the character and the speaker's own personality would provide a more cohesive and profound explanation of the 'influence' aspect. Ensuring that the logical flow between the character's journey and the personal lessons learned is more clearly articulated would also enhance the depth of the answer.

Fluency & Coherence

The speaker manages to keep talking and addresses all parts of the prompt, which is good. However, the coherence is limited by a very simple sentence structure (mostly 'Subject + Verb + Object'). There is significant repetition of ideas and words (e.g., 'impact on me', 'watched this movie'). To improve, use more cohesive devices such as 'Furthermore', 'Consequently', or 'Looking back' to link your ideas more smoothly rather than starting every sentence abruptly.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is functional but very basic (e.g., 'good film', 'great impact', 'really interests me'). There is also a significant lexical error/confusion where the speaker uses 'danger' instead of what likely meant to be 'younger' or a similar descriptor, which obscures the meaning. To reach higher bands, you need to use less common lexical items and collocations. Instead of 'good film', try 'profound cinematic experience' or 'heart-wrenching masterpiece'. Instead of 'really interests me', try 'it deeply resonates with me'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammatical range is quite narrow, relying almost exclusively on simple present and simple past tenses. There are several errors in sentence structure and word choice (e.g., 'those people who are value for me', 'why it influenced on me'). You need to demonstrate a variety of complex structures, such as conditional sentences ('If I hadn't watched this movie, I wouldn't have realized...') or relative clauses, to move into the higher bands. Work on subject-verb agreement and the correct use of prepositions.
