Well, to be honest, I don't usually help people because I don't feel the need to. However, I remember one time when I helped a stranger, a girl in the subway. She was having trouble carrying her bags. As soon as I saw her, I rushed to help and picked up her bags. I carried them to the road. To be honest, I'm glad I could help.

Pronunciation

7
Your pronunciation is quite good. Working on consistency and tackling difficult sounds may enhance clarity.

Task Response

6
The answer is quite short and lacks detail. Consider expanding on the situation, describing the girl's reaction, and elaborating on your feelings and motivations. Adding more descriptive language would improve the response.

Fluency & Coherence

6
The answer is coherent, but the fluency could be improved. There are a few instances of unnatural phrasing and hesitations. Try to speak more smoothly and naturally, and avoid filler words like "to be honest" which are overused here. Practice speaking more spontaneously.

Lexical Resource

6
Vocabulary is adequate but lacks precision and range. Words like "rushed" could be replaced with more descriptive verbs. Try to incorporate more sophisticated vocabulary to showcase your range.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

6
Grammar is mostly accurate, with one minor error ("pick it up her bags"). The sentence structure is simple. Try to incorporate more complex grammatical structures to demonstrate a wider range, such as using passive voice or relative clauses.

I would say chemistry is simply because I detest physics and biology. They are not only flat but also both physically and mentally demanding. Therefore chemistry is quite an easier option. And I do not have to analyze bodies and maybe do some mathematics.

All public transport should be free

I believe that public transportation should be, or at least, much cheaper. There are several reasons for this. First of all, free public transport would help people save money, especially students and people with low incomes. Secondly, if passes and trains were free, people would probably use them instead of provide cars. As a result, […]
