Well, you know, it was a quite difficult question for me to choose one person and talk about because I know a lot of people who are good at learning new languages, but if I had to choose one and talk about, I would definitely go for my brother. My brother is someone who is good at learning new languages and, to be honest, he has a natural talent for learning something new. He has a lot of hobbies, and one of them, his best second hobby, is trying something new, and for that reason, he knows more than four languages. What I like, what I am amazed about his learning, is that he is never scared about making mistakes because he knows that making mistakes is a normal part of learning, and he taught me this rule while I'm learning. Whenever he has time, he tries to help me, and we speak in English. My brother also knows a lot of languages; I think it's called like polyglot, and he's still learning.

Task Response

The response addresses the topic by describing a person (the brother) who is good at learning languages, and includes some personal experience and specific details, such as the brother knowing more than four languages and helping the speaker practice English. However, the answer lacks depth and development; it does not fully elaborate on how the brother learns languages, specific examples of his learning methods, or a clear structure with a beginning, middle, and end. To improve, consider providing more detailed anecdotes, explaining the brother's strategies or motivations, and organizing the response with clear points about who he is, how he learns, and why he is successful.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is generally coherent and easy to follow, with a clear structure (introduction, description, and conclusion). However, there are noticeable hesitations and repetitions ('you know', 'and and', 'what I like, what I am amazed'), and some ideas are not fully developed. To improve, reduce filler words, avoid self-corrections, and expand on points with more detail and examples. Use a wider range of cohesive devices to link ideas more smoothly.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate for the topic, with some good expressions like 'natural talent', 'making mistakes is a normal part of learning', and 'polyglot'. However, there is some repetition ('good at learning new languages' used multiple times) and imprecise phrasing ('his best second hobby', 'called like polyglot'). To improve, use more varied and precise vocabulary, such as 'linguistic aptitude', 'embrace errors', 'fluent in multiple languages', and 'self-taught'. Avoid informal fillers like 'you know' and 'like'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is mostly accurate, with correct use of past and present tenses. However, there are some errors: 'a lot of person' should be 'a lot of people', 'he never scared' should be 'he is never scared', and 'while I'm learning' is awkward in context. The range of structures is limited, with mostly simple and compound sentences. To improve, use more complex structures (e.g., relative clauses, conditionals) and ensure subject-verb agreement and article usage are consistent.
