Polished transcript:

Male Female

Okay, the one person that I know who is very good at making me comfortable, not others, is my girlfriend. She is the one who makes me comfortable in every difficult situation. She is my girlfriend, and I am thinking of marrying her. Back then, during my college admission time, I went to KOPO Secondary School, where I saw her for the first time, and my heart skipped a beat. From that day, I couldn't stop thinking about her, and coincidentally, we went to the same school for our plus two. What she does is provide a different type of comfort for me. Whenever I am exhausted or something like that happens, she always calls me and makes me feel comfortable, no matter what the time is; she will always be there for me. I admire Shumon's heart because since she came into my life, my life has begun to be so good. I have a type of personality that is quite introverted, but due to her, my introverted nature is slowly fading away. I hope to be with her in the future, and I hope to be forever loved by her.

Try using synonyms for the above words

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 the prompt but deviates significantly from the specific requirements. The topic asks for a person who makes 'others' feel comfortable, whereas the response focuses almost exclusively on how the person makes the speaker feel comfortable. To improve, ensure the answer addresses the general social aspect of the prompt (how they interact with a group or strangers) rather than just a personal relationship. Additionally, while personal details are provided, the explanation of 'what they do' to make people feel at ease is somewhat repetitive and lacks specific examples of social interactions. Try to include more varied details about their behavior in different social settings to fully satisfy the prompt's requirements.

Fluency & Coherence

The speaker's fluency is limited by frequent hesitations and a lack of logical progression between ideas. While the story is personal and engaging, the connection between the prompt (making *others* feel comfortable) and the answer (making the *speaker* feel comfortable) is a bit of a deviation. To improve, use more cohesive devices (e.g., 'Furthermore,' 'As a result,' 'In terms of how she does this') to link your personal anecdotes to the specific requirements of the prompt. Avoid repetitive phrasing like 'She is my girlfriend' which was used twice in quick succession.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is quite basic and repetitive (e.g., using 'comfortable' multiple times). There were also some errors in word choice and idiom usage, such as 'my heart skipped for a second' instead of the correct idiom 'my heart skipped a beat,' and 'forever logged by her' instead of 'loved.' To reach a higher band, try to use synonyms for 'comfortable' such as 'at ease,' 'relaxed,' 'soothed,' or 'reassured.' Instead of saying 'my life has begun to be so good,' you could say 'she has had a profound positive impact on my life.'

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are significant grammatical issues, particularly with tense consistency and subject-verb agreement. For example, 'she always called me and make me' should be 'she always calls me and makes me.' There is also confusion with gender pronouns in the raw transcript ('since he came into my life' when referring to a girlfriend). You should practice using a wider range of complex structures, such as conditional sentences (e.g., 'If she weren't in my life, I would still be a very shy person') and relative clauses, to demonstrate higher-level proficiency.
