I hate that I have a good reputation in the teacher's eyes, because she often says to me that you are playing in the school play, or you are participating in the competition. And that time it was like an hour before it starts, she just came to me and says you have a certain minutes to do a whole dance and you are dancing in the school competition. There was bosses and other classes and of course it was terrible to know that you didn't have a custom, you didn't have your makeup done, you didn't have everything, just nothing. I felt ridiculous and boring during the protests because I didn't know what to do, what I'm going to do first, do a plan that I dance, don't make up, where can I get the costumes and other cores that I need to just not split up in the eyes and it was terrible.

Pronunciation

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

Task Response

The response addresses the topic by describing a situation where the student had to adapt to an unexpected performance, but it lacks clarity and development. The answer does not fully cover all parts of the topic, particularly the explanation of what was learned from the experience. The description of feelings is present but limited, and the response would benefit from more specific details and a clearer structure. To improve, ensure all aspects of the topic are addressed, provide a more coherent narrative, and elaborate on the personal growth or insights gained from the experience.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer lacks a clear structure and coherent organization. The speaker jumps between ideas without clear progression, and there is no clear introduction, development, or conclusion. The response is repetitive and contains self-corrections, which disrupts fluency. To improve, the speaker should outline their answer before speaking, use cohesive devices to link ideas, and ensure they address all parts of the topic (what, why, how, what learned).

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is limited and imprecise. There are errors such as 'custom' instead of 'costume', 'cores' instead of 'things' or 'items', and 'split up in the eyes' which is unclear. The speaker uses basic words and phrases, and there is little variety or flexibility. To improve, the speaker should expand their vocabulary, use more precise and descriptive language, and practice using synonyms and idiomatic expressions.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is often inaccurate and limited in range. There are errors in verb tense ('she just came to me and says'), subject-verb agreement, and sentence structure. The speaker uses simple and repetitive structures, and there are frequent errors that affect clarity. To improve, the speaker should practice using a variety of sentence structures, ensure subject-verb agreement, and review past tense usage for narrating past events.
