Here I am going to talk about the person who likes making things with her hands. So I would like to talk about my grandmother.

Pronunciation

Your pronunciation is quite good. Working on consistency and tackling difficult sounds may enhance clarity.

Task Response

The response is quite brief and lacks detail in several areas. Consider expanding on why your grandmother enjoys making things by hand, and elaborate on your feelings about her and her craft. Adding specific examples of her work and the process involved would strengthen the response.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent and mostly fluent. However, there are a few minor hesitations and slightly unnatural phrasing. Improving fluency would involve smoother transitions between sentences and a more natural rhythm. For example, instead of 'She enjoy doing that work as she do it as her hobby as well in her free time,' a more natural phrasing would be 'She enjoys this work as a hobby in her free time.'

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but not particularly rich or precise. Words like "handicrafts" are appropriately used, but more specific vocabulary could elevate the response. For example, instead of 'birds,' specifying the type of bird (e.g., woolen birds, knitted birds) would enhance the description. Using more varied synonyms for 'making' (e.g., crafting, creating, constructing) would also improve lexical resource.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical errors. 'She enjoy doing that work' should be 'She enjoys doing that work.' The sentence 'She like doing this things from her young age' should be 'She has liked doing these things from a young age' or 'She has been doing these things since she was young.' The final sentence is also grammatically incorrect and could be improved by saying something like 'I have watched her do these things since I was young' or 'I have always watched her making these things.' More accurate and varied grammatical structures are needed for a higher score.
