Now I'd like to describe a time when I saw a child behave badly in public. The time was last summer, and the situation happened at a supermarket. One young boy was persuading his parents to buy an expensive toy, like a car. But his father didn't allow him to buy this toy because its price was not affordable for them. People were very frustrated by this situation, and a lot of people commented on this toy because his behavior was very bad. His mother was ashamed of these people because there were many people around them. I was upset by this situation because I didn't want to face this type of situation in the future.

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 is a good start, but it lacks detail and depth. Consider expanding on the child's behavior, the reactions of others, and your own feelings with more specific examples and sensory details. Adding more descriptive language will make the story more engaging and improve the overall response. The response could be expanded as it currently feels quite brief.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent and easy to follow. However, there are a few instances of unnatural phrasing and slight hesitations, indicated by the use of "like" and the slightly awkward sentence structure. Improving fluency would involve smoother transitions and more natural sentence structures. Practice speaking more spontaneously and avoid filler words.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is adequate, but not particularly sophisticated. Words like "persuading" and "affordable" are well-chosen, but the answer could benefit from more precise and varied vocabulary. Try to incorporate more descriptive language and avoid repetition of similar words (e.g., using synonyms for "bad").

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical errors, such as incorrect preposition usage ("ashamed from", "upset from") and the slightly awkward phrasing of some sentences. While the overall message is clear, improving grammatical accuracy would significantly enhance the score. Focus on practicing correct preposition usage and sentence structure.
