Well, speaking in front of people is a valuable experience because it not only helps us share knowledge but also builds our confidence and communication skills. Today, I am going to discuss a talk I gave to my teachers and students in a college assembly last year. The talk was about the importance of time management. My teacher selected me because I was quite good at public speaking, and he encouraged me to prepare this useful topic. To be honest, I was quite nervous in the beginning of the talk.

Pronunciation

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

Task Response

The response addresses the prompt by describing a talk given to teachers and students about time management. While it touches on who the talk was given to, what it was about, and why, the explanation of feelings could be more detailed. Expanding on the initial nervousness and describing the overall experience more vividly would enhance the response.

Fluency & Coherence

The response is generally coherent, but there are some hesitations and instances of self-correction that affect the flow. For example, the repetition of 'in college' could be avoided. To improve, practice speaking more smoothly and avoid unnecessary pauses. Focus on connecting your ideas with appropriate linking words.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but not particularly varied or precise. Words like 'valuable,' 'knowledge,' 'confidence,' and 'communication skills' are used appropriately, but the range could be expanded. Try to incorporate more specific and descriptive vocabulary related to public speaking and time management. For instance, instead of 'quite good,' you could use 'proficient' or 'adept.'

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical errors that impact clarity. Examples include 'help us to share knowledge but is also build' (should be 'helps us to share knowledge but also builds') and 'importers of time management' (should be 'importance of time management'). Also, 'encouraged to me prepared' should be 'encouraged me to prepare'. Focus on using correct verb tenses, subject-verb agreement, and prepositions. Review basic grammar rules and practice constructing more complex sentences accurately.

Do you like rainy days? Why or why not?

I prefer going through sunny days compared to rainy ones. I believe that when you’re already lethargic enough to start your day, it’s always nice to wake up to a bright environment. And I feel like sunlight could lighten up our mood and also encourage us to go outside and enjoy the weather and then […]

Do you like online shopping or conventional shopping?

I’m quite passionate about online shopping because you can relax at home or sit on your couch and spend about like two hours of your time and look into what you really need to buy. However, conventional shopping I find it a bit stressful because whenever I go to purchase anything I feel like I […]

Do you like weekends?

I would definitely say I prefer weekends. Those two days give me a much needed break to catch up on household chores. For example, doing the laundry or meal prepping and really unwinding at home. During the week, my schedule is pretty packed with work, commitments and long commutes, which leaves me with hardly any […]

What is more important to you: money or happiness?

From my point of view it depends on personal preferences. Many people prefer money over happiness. They want to make a successful life and become a very important member in their family. On the other hand many people prefer happiness over money.

Yes, I definitely quit attached to my hometown because I’ve spent most of my life there. So I naturally feel a strong sense of belonging there.
