Male Female

I would like to talk about a teacher who influenced me in my education. His name is Mr. Pathy Ranan, and he was a university teacher when I was studying in my university education. He was a tourism teacher and taught us the module on the principles of tourism in our first year. At that time, I didn't know anything related to that subject, but because of him, I made up my mind to study further about it. My interest in the subject came from his teaching. He is a very humorous person and always guided students toward the industry with his extensive experience. That guidance, along with his engaging lessons, influenced me to pursue my higher education in tourism and hospitality management. I graduated in that specific field with a master's degree. Currently, I have the chance to work as a teacher in the same field because I believe I had a great start due to this teacher. I am very grateful for his influence.

Task Response

The response is well-organized and addresses all parts of the prompt. Specific details about the teacher and the impact on the speaker are provided. To achieve a higher score, consider expanding on the specific examples of the teacher's humor or teaching methods that made the lessons engaging. Adding more detail about the speaker's current career path and how it directly relates to the teacher's influence would further strengthen the response.

The answer is coherent and well-structured. The speaker's fluency is good, with only minor hesitations. Minor improvements could be made by using more sophisticated linking words and phrases to enhance the flow of ideas.

Lexical Resource

6.5

The vocabulary used is adequate and mostly accurate. The speaker uses some more sophisticated vocabulary such as "principles of tourism" and "higher education." However, more precise and varied vocabulary could be used to enhance the description of the teacher's personality and teaching style. For example, instead of "humorous," the speaker could use words like "witty," "charismatic," or "engaging." Instead of "interesting lessons," the speaker could use "stimulating," "innovative," or "thought-provoking." Pay attention to vocabulary repetition to improve the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is mostly accurate, with only a few minor errors. The speaker uses a range of grammatical structures, including complex sentences. However, some sentences could be improved for greater precision and clarity. For example, the phrase "I made up my mind to study further about that subject" could be improved to "I decided to pursue further studies in that subject." The sentence "And currently I had a chance to work as a teacher in the same field" should be corrected to "And currently, I have the opportunity to work as a teacher in the same field."
