Male Female

I would say I decided to let people go or let people leave me, because about myself, I mean, I cannot change myself because of someone close to me. I mean, if he wants to make me different, it can't be like that, because I want to be by myself. I want to express myself without others' expectations. And I decided this because I cannot really make what they want, and how the expectation will be. So it's very affected on my life, so I can be by myself, do what I want, and I can do anything. And yeah, this small change has changed significantly in my life.

Pronunciation

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

Task Response

The response addresses the topic but lacks clarity and development. It mentions a change (letting people go or not changing for others) but does not clearly explain what the change was, why it was made, or how it specifically affected the daily routine. The answer is brief and repetitive, with limited specific details or personal experiences. To improve, structure the response to cover all parts of the topic: clearly state the change, provide a reason for making it, describe concrete effects on your daily life, and explain its significance with examples. The response could be expanded as it currently feels quite brief.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer lacks clear organization and coherence. The speaker does not explicitly address the topic's prompts (what the change was, why, how it affected, and why significant). There is excessive repetition and self-correction, which disrupts fluency. To improve, structure the response with clear paragraphs or signposting, and avoid repeating the same ideas. Practice speaking in complete, connected sentences without backtracking.

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is limited and imprecise. Phrases like 'let people go or let people live me' are unclear, and 'it's very affected on my life' shows incorrect word choice. There is little flexibility or precision. To improve, expand vocabulary for describing changes and their impacts, and use more specific terms (e.g., 'emotional independence,' 'self-acceptance'). Avoid vague language and ensure word forms are correct.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammar is often inaccurate and repetitive. There are errors in verb tense ('I decide' instead of 'I decided'), incorrect prepositions ('affected on my life'), and awkward phrasing ('I can I can being by myself'). The range of structures is limited, with frequent simple sentences. To improve, practice using past tenses consistently, correct preposition usage, and a variety of complex structures (e.g., conditional sentences, relative clauses).
