Well, to be honest, I have met a lot of people. Some are celebrities, some are local people. However, no one is just like my father. My father is a great source of inspiration for me. I know he is my father since I became an adult, and I know this person is my father. My father has several qualities. First of all, he is a hard worker. He works hard for my family. Second, he does not waste time on less important activities. He always invests his time in proper directions. The main reason why I admire my father is because he is a great role model for me. I want to become just like my father in the future. And the second reason is...

Pronunciation

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

Task Response

The answer addresses the question but is somewhat repetitive and lacks depth. It stays on topic and identifies the person, how they are known, qualities, and reasons for admiration. However, the response is not fully developed; it relies on simple statements without elaboration or specific examples. To improve, provide more detailed descriptions of the qualities and reasons, use a more natural and varied vocabulary, and avoid repetition. Additionally, aim to discuss the person in a more general context rather than focusing solely on personal experience, as expected in Part 3.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer has some coherence but lacks logical flow and organization. There is noticeable repetition (e.g., 'my father' multiple times) and self-correction (e.g., 'he is he is'). The response is incomplete, ending abruptly. To improve, use cohesive devices like 'firstly', 'secondly', 'finally' to structure ideas, and avoid unnecessary repetition. Practice completing thoughts fully.

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is basic and repetitive (e.g., 'hard worker', 'great source of inspirations'). There is an error in word choice ('quantities' instead of 'qualities', 'role mother' instead of 'role model'). To improve, learn synonyms for common words (e.g., 'admire' -> 'look up to', 'hard worker' -> 'diligent') and use more precise terms. Avoid literal translations. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammar contains several errors: 'no one just like is my father' (missing verb), 'he do not waste time' (subject-verb agreement), 'he is doing hard working' (incorrect verb form), 'when I become an adult' (tense inconsistency). The range of structures is limited, mostly simple sentences. To improve, practice using past and present tenses correctly, and incorporate complex sentences (e.g., 'My father, who is a hard worker, inspires me because...').

Why do people get up early?

Well, I’m not entirely sure, but I think most people in my country get up early because of work and study. For instance, schools and most workplaces start at 8am, therefore people have to get ready early and arrive on time. I think this is one of the million reasons why getting up early is […]

Do you believe that the rise of remote work has fundamentally changed people's social skills?

To be honest I thought a lot about that. I suppose you know working you know so far from their house for example on the edge of the city has significantly changed our social skills. For example, I can give my life. I have been commuting for many years and I have so many things, […]

Do you think it's better to rent or to buy a place to live

I’d say renting is generally a better option, especially for young people who are just starting out. It gives them greater flexibility because they can move to another city or change their accommodation without being tied to a long term financial commitment. However, buying a property can be more beneficial in their own run as […]

Band 7+

how easy is it to find a place to leave in your country

I’d say it’s relatively easy to find a place to live in my country. There is a wide range of accommodation available, so people usually have several options to choose from. However, the main challenge is affordability rather than availability, as housing prices have increased in recent years. Therefore, also finding a place isn’t particularly […]

How can educational institutions better prepare students for careers that don't yet exist?

I think it’s quite hard to actually predict what future careers there will be. But I guess there’s not much you can actually do to prepare children since even we don’t know of some specific careers that will appear. It’s something that’s not really predictable. So we can’t really create, let’s say, lessons, classes, and […]
