The first person that comes to my mind is a friend who lives in Italy and went to Dubai to start a business with another friend. The kind of business he is involved in is Bitcoin and related ventures. He left everything in Italy to pursue this dream. I think that a business person has to be more organized and responsible because, in this case, he works with money, so he has to be responsible for a lot of it. In reality, I know less about this person, but I admire his determination to follow his aspirations.

Pronunciation

Your pronunciation is average. It is understandable but not always accurate. Focusing on the rhythm and stress patterns of English could prove beneficial.

Task Response

The response addresses all parts of the prompt, but the development of the ideas is limited. While the speaker identifies a person and their field of business, the description of the person and the business itself remains quite brief. To improve, try to expand on the specific details of the business ventures or provide more context regarding the person's background. Additionally, when explaining your opinion, providing more concrete examples of why you admire their determination would help in meeting the requirement of answering the topic at length and fully. The response could be expanded as it currently feels quite brief.

Fluency & Coherence

The response is quite short and lacks the development required for a Part 2 long turn. You tend to use 'and' as a repetitive connector, which prevents the flow from being cohesive. To improve, use a wider variety of discourse markers (e.g., 'Furthermore,' 'Regarding his business,' 'In terms of my opinion') and try to expand on each bullet point with more detail to ensure you speak for the full 1-2 minutes.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is very basic and repetitive (e.g., using 'business person' and 'responsible' multiple times). You also used 'takes my mind' instead of the correct idiom 'comes to mind.' To reach higher bands, try to use more precise business-related terminology, such as 'entrepreneur,' 'cryptocurrency,' 'financial assets,' or 'risk-taking.'

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical errors that affect clarity, particularly in subject-verb agreement and tense consistency (e.g., 'the business person have to be' instead of 'has to be', and 'he involved in him' which is ungrammatical). You also struggle with relative clauses. Focus on mastering third-person singular conjugation and the correct use of relative pronouns like 'who' and 'which' to create complex sentences.
