Pronunciation

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

Task Response

The answer addresses the topic by mentioning who gave the advice (big brother) and when it was received (2021). However, it lacks specific details about the advice itself and does not clearly explain how it changed the speaker's perspective. The response is brief and underdeveloped, missing opportunities to elaborate on the content of the advice and its impact. To improve, provide a clear description of the advice, include personal experiences or examples, and explain the transformation in perspective with specific outcomes. The response could be expanded as it currently feels quite brief.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer lacks coherence and organization. The student does not clearly address the prompt, failing to describe the advice, who gave it, when it was received, or how it changed their perspective. There is no logical progression of ideas, and the response ends abruptly without completing the task. To improve, the student should structure the answer by addressing each bullet point in the prompt and using cohesive devices to link ideas.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is very limited and repetitive. The student uses basic words like 'advice', 'lazy', 'correctly', and 'actively' without any variety or precision. There is no use of idiomatic language or advanced vocabulary. To improve, the student should learn and practice topic-specific vocabulary (e.g., 'transformative', 'insight', 'motivation') and use synonyms to avoid repetition. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar contains several errors, such as 'describe about' (incorrect preposition), 'I have gave' (incorrect tense), and 'in the last in this year' (incorrect phrasing). The sentence structures are simple and often incomplete. To improve, the student should practice using correct tenses (e.g., past simple for past events), prepositions, and more complex structures like relative clauses or conditionals.
