Well, today I would like to talk about my father, who made me feel proud and who is a very important person in my life because his hard work and honesty always support our family. Last year, my father started his own small business after many years of working with others. In the beginning, it was not easy for him to start because he did not have that much money to start his own business, but he worked hard day and night and faced many problems and difficulties. He never gave up. Slowly, his business became very successful. I felt very proud of him because he showed me the importance of patience and hard work. His success always motivated me to work harder and follow my dreams. Overall, he is a great model for me because he did everything for our family, which is very important. So that's all about this Q-Pard.

Pronunciation

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

Task Response

The response addresses the prompt by describing a family member and an achievement that evoked pride. The narrative is clear and provides some detail regarding the father's business venture and the speaker's feelings. To further enhance the response, consider adding more specific examples of the challenges faced and how they were overcome, as well as elaborating on the impact of the father's actions on the speaker's personal development and aspirations.

Fluency & Coherence

The response is generally coherent and follows a logical structure, describing the father's business venture and the speaker's pride. However, there are some instances of hesitation and slight choppiness in delivery. To improve, focus on smoother transitions between sentences and ideas. Practice speaking more continuously without pausing excessively.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate for the topic, with some appropriate words and phrases used (e.g., 'hard work,' 'honestly,' 'small business,' 'patience,' 'motivated'). However, the range could be expanded to include more sophisticated vocabulary related to business and personal qualities. Try to incorporate synonyms and more descriptive language to enhance the impact of your descriptions. Pay attention to vocabulary repetition to improve the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is mostly accurate, with a mix of simple and compound sentences. There are a few minor errors (e.g., 'start their own business' should be 'start his own business,' 'great nodal' should be 'great model'). To improve, pay closer attention to subject-verb agreement and correct word choice. Review and practice using a wider range of grammatical structures to add complexity and precision to your speech.
