Now I'm going to describe a time when I had to change a plan that I had made. If I'm not mistaken, it was two years ago when I was 14 years old. After coming to school, I planned to complete my unfinished tasks. But unfortunately, I forgot I had to participate in a competition that was for a group of people. Luckily, I won first place, and after coming home, I completed all my tasks by burning the midnight oil. It caused me a sleepless night. I felt really pleased about my first place and the effort I made.

Pronunciation

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

Task Response

The response addresses the topic and provides a relevant experience. To improve, elaborate more on the original plan, the reasons for changing it, and the details of the new plan. Additionally, expand on your feelings about changing the plan to provide a more comprehensive answer. The response could be expanded as it currently feels quite brief.

Fluency & Coherence

The response is generally coherent and follows a logical structure, addressing all parts of the prompt. However, there are some minor hesitations and a slight lack of natural flow. To improve, focus on smoother transitions between ideas and reducing pauses.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate and appropriate for the topic, with some good phrases like 'burning the midnight oil.' However, the range could be expanded to demonstrate more flexibility and precision. Try to incorporate more varied and less common vocabulary related to planning, changes, and feelings. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is mostly accurate, but there are a few errors that slightly impact clarity ('complete all my tasks,' 'causes my sleepless night,' 'I felt myself really pleasant'). Focus on using correct verb tenses and sentence structures. Review common grammatical errors and practice constructing more complex sentences accurately.
