I'm a person who loves to use my own things. I'm not a person who loves to borrow from others. Recently, two months ago, I had to meet my friend on her wedding day. I didn't remember that they had a dress code. When I got there, I saw that everyone was wearing black clothes, but I didn't have any. I was very confused about what to do. She helped me at that time and gave me a black dress. She was so kind to me. I felt like this was a special moment.

Pronunciation

6.5

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

Task Response

The response is relevant to the prompt and provides a clear narrative. However, some aspects of the question were not fully addressed. Consider expanding on the details of the situation and providing more specific information to enhance the response.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is understandable but lacks fluency. There are many hesitations and repetitions ("But", "uh", "I mean"). The narrative jumps around a bit; a more linear structure would improve coherence. Work on smoother transitions between ideas and reduce filler words.

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is adequate but not particularly sophisticated. While the speaker conveys the meaning, more precise and varied vocabulary would enhance the response. For example, instead of 'hard cloth,' using 'black dress' would be more accurate and descriptive. Consider using more descriptive adjectives and verbs.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammar is inconsistent. There are several grammatical errors, such as incorrect verb tenses ("I have to meet", "I see that everyone wear") and subject-verb agreement issues. Focus on improving accuracy and expanding the range of grammatical structures used. Practice using more complex sentence structures.
