From my perspective, I strongly believe I have a big interest in programming. After that, I decided to pursue my degree in college. After graduating, I felt empty, and during my gap year, I started to learn skills that matter for the future, which is artificial intelligence. By practicing many exams and analyzing research, I finally found that my job was to provide information and explanations about almost everything. As the years passed, artificial intelligence rapidly increased, day by day. In the call center, my friend was so happy that he chose to learn AI. At that time, I also had a strong interest in AI. My friend and I started to learn it in Central Asia because Chinese and Japanese people are known for their high IQ, and they have an intellectual horizon that can help us broaden our own.

Pronunciation

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

Task Response

The response touches on the topic of learning AI but lacks depth and clarity in several areas. To improve, provide more specific details about how you learned AI, the resources you used, and the challenges you faced. Also, clearly explain why you consider AI skills essential, providing concrete examples of its importance in your life or career. Focus on a more structured and coherent narrative to enhance the overall impact of your response.

Fluency & Coherence

The response has some coherence issues. There are instances of rambling and unclear connections between ideas. The phrase "break by break, by day by" is unclear and disrupts the flow. To improve, focus on structuring your answer more logically, using clear transitions, and avoiding unnecessary repetition. Practice organizing your thoughts before speaking to ensure a smoother delivery.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but lacks precision and variety. Phrases like "big interest" could be replaced with more sophisticated alternatives such as "keen interest" or "strong passion." The phrase "intellectual and horizon that can help us to horizon once" is awkward and unclear. To enhance your lexical resource, try to incorporate more specific and nuanced vocabulary related to the topic of AI and learning. Use a thesaurus to find synonyms and expand your range of expression.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical errors throughout the response. Examples include "Chinese and Japanese people is one of the smartest IQ" (should be 'are') and awkward phrasing in several sentences. The sentence structure is relatively simple, limiting the demonstration of grammatical range. To improve, focus on practicing more complex sentence structures and reviewing basic grammar rules, particularly subject-verb agreement and correct use of articles and prepositions. Consider recording yourself speaking and then transcribing and analyzing the transcript for errors.
