I want to talk about one important memory from my internship. Last year, I did an internship at Surpurge Armenian Hospital. I helped an important girl. I can explain how I helped her. She was crying, and I asked, "Why are you crying?" She told me everything. She had a psychological condition, borderline personality disorder, and she experienced mood disorders. I learned about therapeutic techniques and skills. I shaped our communication, and she felt better. This experience made me feel more productive and helpful.

Pronunciation

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

Task Response

The response addresses the prompt by describing a time when the speaker helped someone during an internship. It identifies who was helped, how the help was provided, and why. To improve, the response could include more specific details about the situation and the impact of the help provided. Expanding on the feelings experienced would also strengthen the answer. The response could be expanded as it currently feels quite brief.

Fluency & Coherence

The response is somewhat coherent, but there are noticeable pauses and hesitations ('I can talk about it'). The organization is generally present, but could be improved by using more cohesive devices to link ideas smoothly. Try to avoid unnecessary repetition and aim for a more natural flow.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but lacks precision and variety. The phrase 'high mood disorders' is not entirely accurate; 'mood swings' or 'mood instability' would be more appropriate. Expand your vocabulary related to emotions, mental health, and helping professions to enhance your descriptions.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical errors, such as 'She was a cry' (should be 'She was crying') and 'experienced make me feel' (should be 'experience made me feel'). The range of sentence structures is limited. Focus on using correct verb tenses, articles, and sentence structures to improve accuracy and demonstrate a wider grammatical range.
