Male Female

I am going to talk about a friend of mine who is very good at gaming. I think his best skill is gaming because he struggles in school and always scores lower than 5. But he is really a good person. He is kind, and of course, he can also be quite kind to others. His skill is gaming; you know, PUBG is one of the favorite esports, and everyone tries to play it. But I think my friend is one of the best players in our country because he has won a lot of prizes from this game. Of course, he can earn money from social media like YouTube, Instagram, and others. I want to try to be like him, but I couldn't; he's better than me. I think he was born with this talent. I admire his talent because it shows everyone can find a way in this world. He may be bad at school, but he is good at gaming, and this helps him earn money. I think he has been playing PUBG since childhood, and he keeps going.

Pronunciation

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

Task Response

The response addresses all parts of the prompt, including identifying the person, the skill, and the reason for admiration. However, the development of certain points is somewhat limited. To improve, provide more specific details regarding how the person learned the skill; for example, mention if they practiced for many hours a day or joined a professional team. Additionally, while the connection between his academic performance and his gaming success is clear, the explanation of why you admire him could be expanded with more depth regarding his dedication or technical mastery. Ensure that the transition between discussing his personality and his gaming skills is smoother to maintain a cohesive narrative.

Fluency & Coherence

The speaker manages to keep talking, which is good for fluency, but there is significant repetition and a lack of cohesive devices. The structure is somewhat circular, and the connection between ideas is basic (using 'and', 'but', 'so'). To improve, use more sophisticated linking words such as 'Furthermore', 'In addition to this', or 'Consequently'. Avoid repeating the same ideas (e.g., mentioning he is bad at school multiple times) without adding new depth.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is quite limited and repetitive. Words like 'good', 'bad', 'kind', and 'money' are used frequently. While the topic is communicated, it lacks the precision required for higher bands. Instead of 'bad at school', you could use 'struggled academically'. Instead of 'good at gaming', try 'exceptionally skilled at esports' or 'a proficient gamer'. Try to use more topic-specific collocations related to gaming and success. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are frequent grammatical errors that occasionally impede clarity. Issues include subject-verb agreement ('he is best skill', 'he born with this talent'), incorrect word forms ('he is really good people'), and tense inconsistency ('he keep going' instead of 'he has been playing'). To reach a higher band, you must demonstrate a range of complex structures (e.g., relative clauses, conditional sentences) and ensure that basic tenses (past, present perfect, and continuous) are used accurately.
