When it comes to a successful business person that I admire, I would like to mention my father, who is one of the most inspiring and important people to me. He is now 40 years old. He has a sturdy build and always keeps it, and he is always energetic and calm. He also tries his best to earn money and help out my family. He used to be a construction worker, and three years ago, after years of working for others, he decided to start an estate agency where he introduces and sells land and homes for others. At first, it was not easy for him to run the business smoothly because of financial limitations, but he never gave up. He kept working day and night, faced many difficulties, and gradually his business became successful and attained a steady stream of customers. His journey has had a really significant impact on me because it shows me the importance of patience and hard work. His experiences are the motivation for me to pursue my dream job in the future.

Pronunciation

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

Task Response

The response addresses all aspects of the topic effectively. The speaker identifies a specific person, explains their professional background, describes the challenges faced during the establishment of the business, and explains the reasons for admiration. The inclusion of personal details regarding the individual's transition from a construction worker to an estate agent provides the necessary depth and specificity required for a high-level response. To further enhance the response, more specific examples of the 'difficulties' faced or the specific 'successes' achieved could be included to add even more descriptive richness.

Fluency & Coherence

You maintained a good flow and were able to tell a coherent story from his past as a worker to his current success. However, there was noticeable repetition in the raw transcript (e.g., 'to run the business smoothly' was repeated multiple times), which is a sign of hesitation or searching for words. To improve, work on using cohesive devices (like 'Furthermore', 'Despite these challenges', or 'Consequently') to link your ideas more smoothly rather than relying on simple conjunctions like 'and' or 'but'.

Lexical Resource

You used some appropriate vocabulary such as 'inspiring', 'financial limitation', and 'steady stream of customers'. However, there were some inaccuracies in word choice and form, such as 'success business person' instead of 'successful' and 'study build' instead of 'sturdy build'. To reach a higher band, try to use more idiomatic expressions and precise collocations related to business, such as 'entrepreneurial spirit', 'overcoming adversity', or 'financial constraints'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

This is the area that needs the most improvement. There were several errors in subject-verb agreement (e.g., 'important person' instead of 'people', 'his experiences is' instead of 'are') and tense consistency (switching between present and past tense inconsistently). You also struggled with some noun forms (e.g., 'sell lands' instead of 'sell land'). Focus on mastering basic grammar rules, particularly singular/plural agreement and the correct use of past vs. present tense when describing a life story.
