One kind thing I did was give money to my best friend. It was two years ago. The situation was that I was trying to help him, but he didn't have money for his aisle preparation. So I lent him around 5K for his aisle preparation. He took the money and started learning in the aisle class. He was my best friend, so I wanted to help him succeed. I had some savings at the time. He was very thankful for what I did. He returned the money shortly after he went to the aisle because he got a good job there and was learning quite well. He still talks about how I helped him during his hard times and how grateful he was. Thank you.

Pronunciation

5.5

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

6.5

The response adequately addresses all parts of the question, providing a clear description of the kind act, the reasons behind it, and the recipient's reaction. To improve, consider adding more descriptive details about the situation and the emotions involved. Elaborating on the 'aisle preparation' and the impact of your help would enhance the response's richness and engagement.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is understandable, but there are some fluency issues. The phrasing is sometimes awkward, and there's a bit of repetition and self-correction. Improving the flow and reducing the hesitations would improve the score. Consider using more sophisticated linking words and phrases to connect your ideas more smoothly. For example, instead of 'So I borrowed him around 5K', you could say 'Therefore, I lent him approximately 5K'.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but not particularly sophisticated. While the speaker uses words like 'preparation' and 'savings,' more precise and varied vocabulary would enhance the response. Consider using synonyms for 'money' and 'thankful' to demonstrate a wider range of vocabulary. For example, instead of 'He was very thankful,' you could say 'He expressed his profound gratitude'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is mostly correct, but there are some errors. For example, 'I gave him to go uproar' is grammatically incorrect. The tense is also inconsistent in places. Focusing on consistent tense usage and avoiding grammatical errors will improve the score. Pay attention to subject-verb agreement and correct use of prepositions.
