Well, now I would like to talk about Agayam. When I shifted my perspective to another option, it was two months ago. I entered university. Firstly, I pursued an economics major, but my mother and my parents wanted me to study English literature. Then I changed my opinion. I felt very nervous, but now I really enjoy my studies more than my previous major because English literature has more opportunities to thrive in a modern area. Nowadays, everyone wants to study English literature.

Pronunciation

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

Task Response

The response addresses the core components of the prompt, such as when the change occurred and what the situation was. However, the development of the answer is quite limited. To improve, the response should expand on the specific reasons why the change in opinion occurred and provide more depth regarding the transition from economics to English literature. Including more specific details about the decision-making process and a more thorough explanation of the feelings experienced during and after the change would help in meeting the requirements for a higher score. Additionally, ensuring that the narrative flows logically with more descriptive language would enhance the overall quality of the response. The response could be expanded as it currently feels quite brief.

Fluency & Coherence

The response is quite short and lacks the development required for a Part 2 long turn. There is significant repetition (e.g., 'Then I changed my opinion' is repeated), and the flow is disjointed. To improve, you should use more cohesive devices (e.g., 'Initially,' 'However,' 'As a result') and expand on your points to ensure you speak for the full 1-2 minutes. Try to tell a story with a beginning, middle, and end.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is very basic and, in the raw transcript, contains several errors that impede meaning (e.g., 'economic failure' instead of 'economics major', 'enjoy my tongue' instead of 'enjoy my studies'). While you attempted to use a higher-level phrase like 'shifted my perspective,' the rest of the vocabulary is insufficient to convey complex ideas. Focus on learning collocations related to education and decision-making.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are frequent grammatical errors, particularly with verb tenses and sentence structure (e.g., 'I entered as a university', 'my parents want to enter an English literature'). There is a lack of complex sentence structures; most sentences are simple and repetitive. Work on subject-verb agreement and using relative clauses (e.g., 'which is a field that...') to increase your grammatical range.
