He is a person who has influenced me to do better in my life. He is my best friend. His name is Ljönja. He is an absolutely outgoing person who has a positive mindset on life. We met at school; we have been classmates since we were children. We found a bond between us very fast because we both actually resonated with each other. So he supports me every time I have difficulties. He is really great at helping me whenever I think about things. And because of him, because of his mindset, I feel confident that there is a person who can support me, can be always with me, and I can risk, I can try new things, knowing that there is a person behind my back.

Pronunciation

Your pronunciation is above average. However, you may find complexity in certain words challenging. Regular practice should aid in improvement.

Task Response

The answer addresses the topic by describing the person, how you know him, and what he does, and it explains his influence on you. However, the response is relatively brief and lacks specific details and personal experiences. To improve, you could elaborate on particular instances where he helped you, describe his actions or qualities in more concrete terms, and provide a more detailed explanation of how his influence led to specific improvements in your life. Expanding the answer with examples and a clearer structure would make it more comprehensive and engaging.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is generally coherent and organized, but there are noticeable hesitations, repetitions, and self-corrections (e.g., 'he supports me, he supports me', 'I can risk, I can sign new things'). The structure could be improved by clearly addressing all parts of the prompt (who, how you know, what he does, and how he influenced you) in a more systematic way. To improve, practice speaking more smoothly, reduce repetitions, and use cohesive devices to link ideas more effectively.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate and includes some good phrases (e.g., 'outgoing person', 'positive mindset', 'resonated with each other', 'a person behind my back'). However, there are some inaccuracies and limited range (e.g., 'lifetimes' instead of 'difficulties', 'sign new things' instead of 'try new things'). To improve, expand your vocabulary for describing influence and support, and practice using precise words in context. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is mostly accurate but includes some errors and awkward structures (e.g., 'we have been classmates since we were a child' should be 'since we were children', 'he really is really great' is redundant, 'I can risk, I can sign new things' is unclear). There is some variety in sentence structures, but more complex structures could be used. To improve, focus on subject-verb agreement, correct use of tenses, and constructing clearer, more varied sentences.
