Today I would like to talk about a skill that I learned from my family members. It's respecting older people. I learned this skill from my dad and from my brother. They taught me that every person should respect older people, elderly persons, because of their age and we have to respect them. If we are on a bus we must give them places to sit because they might have some disabilities or they have pain in their legs or on their backs.

Pronunciation

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

Task Response

The answer addresses the topic but lacks specific details about the learning process and personal experience. To improve, describe a concrete skill (e.g., cooking, carpentry) with clear steps of how you learned it, and explain its usefulness with specific examples from your life. The response could be expanded as it currently feels quite brief.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is somewhat coherent but lacks smooth transitions and has noticeable pauses and repetitions. The student repeats 'type of skill' and 'older people' unnecessarily. To improve, use linking words like 'firstly', 'moreover', and avoid filler phrases. Practice speaking without self-correction.

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is basic and repetitive (e.g., 'skill', 'respect', 'older people'). There is some attempt at paraphrasing ('elderly persons') but limited range. To improve, learn synonyms (e.g., 'acquired', 'value', 'senior citizens') and use more precise terms like 'etiquette' or 'deference'. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Several grammatical errors: 'must to give' (should be 'must give'), 'because of their and we have to' (incomplete), 'they have pain on their legs' (should be 'in their legs'). Sentence structures are simple and often incorrect. To improve, practice using modals correctly and forming complex sentences with 'because' and 'although'.
