I am going to talk about a skill that was quite difficult for me, and the skill was learning a new language, English. I wanted to improve my English because it is so important nowadays. English is an international language, and after completing my Mplus2 level, I would like to go abroad for my father's story. That's why English is so important in every country. It is quite challenging to learn English because it is very different from my own language. It is hard, but I am consistent and dedicated to my work. That's why I have learned a little bit of English, and I want to continue improving my English.

Pronunciation

Your pronunciation is average. It is understandable but not always accurate. Focusing on the rhythm and stress patterns of English could prove beneficial.

Task Response

The response addresses the topic and attempts to cover all the bullet points. However, the development of each point could be more detailed. Consider elaborating on the specific methods used to learn English and providing more specific reasons why it was difficult beyond just saying it's different from your native language. Adding more personal experiences would also enhance the response. The response could be expanded as it currently feels quite brief.

Fluency & Coherence

The response is somewhat coherent, but there are noticeable pauses and some repetition. The structure follows the prompt, but the flow could be smoother. To improve, focus on connecting ideas more seamlessly and avoiding unnecessary repetition of phrases like 'English language'.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but lacks precision and variety. The candidate uses basic words and phrases. To enhance the lexical resource, try to incorporate more specific and varied vocabulary related to language learning and its challenges. For example, instead of just saying 'important,' use words like 'essential,' 'crucial,' or 'indispensable.'

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammatical range is limited, and there are several grammatical errors throughout the response. Errors include incorrect verb tenses ('I want to English language'), incorrect word order, and some awkward phrasing. To improve, focus on mastering basic grammatical structures and practicing sentence construction. Pay attention to verb tenses, articles, and prepositions.
