I remember when I helped someone I didn't know. It was a rainy day and I went to the university and I found a small kid who didn't wear his shoes and it was very sensible, it touched me emotionally and I decided to help him and buy new shoes for him two years ago on this rainy day. I felt proud of myself when I helped someone I didn't know and he was very happy. He hugged me and cried and said thank you, you are so gentle.

Pronunciation

Your pronunciation is above average. However, you may find complexity in certain words challenging. Regular practice should aid in improvement.

Task Response

The answer addresses the topic and includes the required elements: when and where it happened, who the person was, how you helped, and your feelings. However, it lacks detail and development. To improve, expand on the context (e.g., why the child was alone, the environment), describe the interaction more vividly, and elaborate on your feelings and the impact of the help. Include more specific personal experiences and sensory details to make the response more engaging and comprehensive. The response could be expanded as it currently feels quite brief.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is somewhat coherent but lacks logical progression and cohesive devices. The timeline is confusing ('two years in this rainy day'), and there is some repetition ('I helped someone I didn't know'). To improve, use linking words like 'firstly', 'then', 'after that', and clarify the time frame. Practice structuring your answer with a clear beginning, middle, and end.

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is basic and imprecise. Words like 'sensible' are misused (likely meant 'sensitive' or 'touching'), and 'gentle' is not the best choice for describing a person's kindness. Expand your vocabulary with synonyms for 'help' (e.g., 'assist', 'support') and emotions (e.g., 'compassion', 'gratitude'). Avoid repetition by using varied expressions.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical errors: 'I find' should be 'I found', 'they didn't wear' should be 'who didn't wear', 'it was very sensible' is incorrect, and 'I feel' should be 'I felt'. Tenses are inconsistent. Practice using past tense consistently and check subject-verb agreement. Work on forming complex sentences with relative clauses.
