A couple of days ago, I was rushing to get to school. I was running late because of heavy traffic. I was waiting for a while at the crosswalk before crossing the road. Suddenly, a motorcycle hit my bike and I fell off. I was shocked and scared. I was screaming in pain. I realized I had a few scrapes and a bleeding injury. Afterwards, a woman got off her motorcycle and apologized to me for her reckless driving. She checked to see if my injury was serious. Seeing her sincere concern, I no longer felt angry. I decided to forgive her mistake.

Your pronunciation is below average and may be understood with some effort. Pay attention to common phonemes that are challenging for you.

Task Response

4.5

The student provides a clear description of the event and the apology, but lacks specific details about the apology itself. For example, what did the woman say? How did she express her apology? Adding more details would make the story more engaging and demonstrate a better understanding of the topic. The response could be expanded as it currently feels quite brief.

Fluency & Coherence

4.5

The student's speech is somewhat hesitant and contains several filler words (e.g., 'uh', 'ah'). The story is generally coherent, but the flow is disrupted by some repetition and self-correction. Practice speaking more smoothly and confidently.

The student uses a range of vocabulary, but some words are not used accurately (e.g., 'latee', 'bumble to bumble', 'fif', 'studden', 'multi', 'gusted', 'crises', 'motly', 'restless', 'serared', 'apologyize'). Focus on using vocabulary correctly and expanding your vocabulary with more precise and sophisticated words.
