It happened when I asked my tutor for help with my English speaking skills, as I had very poor speaking skills. She gave me this advice: I need to practice frequently and daily to enhance my fluency and correct my grammar. She also said that I need to be more confident and creative with my words. Finally, since the tutor is very proficient in English examinations, especially IELTS, I trust her completely, and I will definitely follow her advice.

Pronunciation

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

Task Response

The response adequately addresses all parts of the question. However, more detail and specific examples would strengthen the answer. Elaborating on how you are incorporating the advice into your daily routine and providing specific examples of how you've become more confident and creative would improve the response. The response could be expanded as it currently feels quite brief.

Fluency & Coherence

6.5

The response is coherent and mostly fluent. There is some repetition and slightly unnatural phrasing (e.g., "Since I had had a very terrible speaking skills"). Minor improvements in sentence structure would enhance fluency.

Lexical Resource

5.5

Vocabulary is adequate but not highly sophisticated. Words like "proficient" are well-used, but more precise and varied vocabulary would improve the score. The phrase "eat her advice" is inappropriate and should be replaced with something like "follow her advice".

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

5.5

Grammar is mostly accurate, but there are some errors (e.g., "Since I had had..."). More complex grammatical structures and consistent accuracy would improve the score. The use of the past perfect tense in the first sentence is slightly awkward.
