I would like to describe the time when I helped someone. It happened last year. A student at school, my friend, was facing problems with her studies. I understood she needed help, so I gave her advice and information about her studies. We discussed various subjects for our presentation, and I helped her find some details and search for more data. Although she felt very stressed about her upcoming exams, I decided to support her. I didn't worry because I was clear about what she needed, and I was glad to assist her in overcoming her challenges.

Try using synonyms for the above words

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 and provides relevant information about who was helped, how they were helped, and the result. The explanation of feelings could be more detailed to further enhance the response. The response could be expanded as it currently feels quite brief.

Fluency & Coherence

The response is somewhat coherent but contains noticeable hesitations and repetitions ('and and'). The organization of ideas is present but could be clearer. To improve, practice speaking more smoothly and use linking words to connect ideas more effectively. Focus on reducing pauses and repetitions.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is basic and lacks precision. There are some inaccuracies in word choice ('fights it to problem'). To enhance lexical resource, try to use a wider range of vocabulary related to helping and studying. Learn synonyms and practice using them in context.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammatical range is limited, and there are frequent errors in sentence structure and verb tense ('student is school,' 'I needed her help and I gave'). Accuracy is compromised by these errors. To improve, focus on mastering basic grammar rules, especially verb tenses, articles, and sentence construction. Practice writing and speaking with attention to grammatical correctness.
