Well, I want to talk about my friend's habit because it's something that has always stood out in my memory. His name is Kamrun. This happened when I was a child. I was in a group with my friends. All in all, my friend had a lot of habits. So, he would make a donation to the mosques with his father. In that way, this habit appealed to me. One day, he was offered this good job, to be honest. I wasn't expecting the offer for him, so I was quite surprised. Starting from that day, I mostly wanted to try and get into the habit of giving alms. I offered this to my dad, and after that, I used to start making donations to the mosques with my dad. All in all, this habit is very appealing to me. Therefore, I always make donations for mosques. And that's all.

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 topic by describing a friend's habit of making donations to mosques and expressing a desire to develop it. However, the answer lacks depth and specific details. It would benefit from elaborating on why this habit is appealing, how it has impacted the friend, and what steps the speaker has taken or plans to take to develop it. Including more personal experiences and concrete examples would strengthen the response.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer lacks clear organization and coherence. The speaker jumps between ideas (the friend's habit, a job offer, and personal adoption of the habit) without clear transitions or logical progression. There is noticeable repetition ('All in all' used twice, 'mosques' repeated) and self-correction ('Father that way this habit liked to me' is unclear). To improve, structure the answer with a clear introduction, development, and conclusion, and use cohesive devices like 'Firstly', 'Moreover', 'As a result' to link ideas smoothly.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is basic and repetitive, with limited range. Words like 'habit', 'donation', and 'mosques' are overused. There are also errors in word choice and collocation, such as 'this habit liked to me' (should be 'appealed to me') and 'each aunt' (likely a mispronunciation of 'each act' or 'giving alms'). To improve, use more precise and varied vocabulary, such as 'charitable giving', 'philanthropy', 'admirable trait', and 'cultivate a habit'. Avoid repetition by using synonyms and paraphrasing. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is often inaccurate and limited in range. There are errors in tense consistency ('I was in a goto's' should be 'I was in a group'), word order ('Father that way this habit liked to me' is grammatically incorrect), and article usage ('the mosques' is overused). The sentence 'I offered this to my dad after that I used to start to make a donation' is awkward and contains tense errors. To improve, practice using a variety of sentence structures (complex and compound sentences) and ensure subject-verb agreement and correct tense usage. Review basic grammar rules for articles and prepositions.
