Male Female

A public place that I used to visit a lot was a walking street in Ha Noi. Whenever I felt happy or had a special occasion in my life, I would always invite my friends or family to go there. Back then, this was one of the most popular places in the city. However, in recent times, the street has become too crowded. More and more people from other districts come to visit, and the quality of the service has decreased over time. I think that in the future it might not be as enjoyable as it used to be. I like that it had two closest because I have some reports about the, uh, quality of the food stalls having decreased with more and more people coming to the district every year. It's hard to imagine the situation improving, but I hope that the quality of the service will change so I can come back and enjoy it again.

Task Response

The student provides a clear description of the place and explains why they used to visit it frequently. However, the explanation of why they no longer visit is a bit vague. They mention overcrowding and a decrease in service quality, but they could have elaborated on these points with more specific details. For example, they could have mentioned specific examples of how the service has declined or how the overcrowding has impacted their experience.

Fluency & Coherence

The student speaks with a generally good flow, but there are some instances of hesitation and repetition, particularly when discussing the decline in service quality. The overall structure of the response is clear, but the student could benefit from using more cohesive devices to connect their ideas. For example, they could use phrases like "as a result" or "because of this" to show the relationship between the overcrowding and the decline in service quality.

Lexical Resource

The student uses a range of vocabulary, but there are some instances of imprecise language. For example, they use the phrase "exploit" instead of "visit" and "food store" instead of "food stalls." They also struggle to find the right word for "quality" at one point. Overall, the vocabulary is adequate, but the student could benefit from expanding their vocabulary and using more precise language.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The student makes several grammatical errors throughout the response. For example, they use the incorrect tense in "I would always invite my friends of family" and "the quality of the service have decreases." They also use the incorrect preposition in "I like that it had two closest." The student demonstrates a basic understanding of grammar, but they need to improve their accuracy and range of structures.
