Yes, there was a lot to do in terms of activities, but today I want to talk about a situation that was a great achievement for us regarding Japan immigration. Two months ago, we received 1,000 CVs from Japan immigration. My head teacher told me that I had to make a plan to arrange a party. I also decided to create a plan that would involve entertainment and serve as an advertisement for our agency. I decided to go to Cox's Bazaar, and I had a plan to organize a football match because all of our students like to play football. I decided to make T-shirts with our agency logos, and the entire plan was approved by my agency head teacher. He told me my plan was excellent, and we decided to engage for about five days. All of our students were very happy, and after that, we felt very happy as well. It was a very short time, but it was a memorable situation for everyone.

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 topic of making a plan for a group activity, but the connection between the initial context (Japan immigration and CVs) and the actual activity (a football match in Cox's Bazar) is somewhat unclear. To improve, ensure that the narrative flows logically so the listener understands how the task of managing CVs led to organizing a sports event. Additionally, the response would benefit from more specific details regarding the planning process, such as how many people were involved, how logistics were handled, or specific challenges faced during the planning stage. Expanding on these details would help in meeting the requirement of answering the topic at length and providing a fully developed response.

Fluency & Coherence

The speaker manages to convey the main idea, but there is significant hesitation and repetition (e.g., '100, 1000 CV'). The flow is disrupted by fragmented sentences and a lack of sophisticated cohesive devices. To improve, you should use more varied linking words (e.g., 'Consequently,' 'Furthermore,' 'As a result') instead of relying heavily on 'So' to start every sentence. Work on maintaining a steady pace without frequent self-correction.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is quite basic and repetitive (e.g., using 'happy' and 'plan' multiple times). There are also some word choice errors where the meaning is slightly obscured, such as 'lots of land to do' (likely meaning 'lots of things to do') and 'involve with the rhythm' (which is unclear in context). To reach a higher band, try to use more precise collocations and idiomatic expressions, such as 'organizing a large-scale event,' 'boosting agency visibility,' or 'a rewarding experience.'

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are frequent grammatical errors, particularly with verb tenses and subject-verb agreement. For example, 'all of our students are making very happy' should be 'all of our students were very happy,' and 'we become very happy' should be 'we became very happy.' The speaker struggles to maintain a consistent past tense, which is essential for a 'Describe a time...' prompt. Focus on mastering the simple past and past continuous tenses to describe completed actions in the past.
