I want to talk about a decision I made about three months ago. I tried to persuade my parents to go to the touch camps for studying. My mother and father didn't agree to go because they didn't want to study in faraway places. So, I tried to persuade them, and they agreed to study in another place. At that moment, I felt very happy, and my father said, 'Yes, you should study.' So, I agreed to study elsewhere. You should study hard and achieve your goals in the future. You should be a successful person. So, you should always try to pursue your ambitions. I was very happy and excited at that moment.

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 touches on the topic but lacks detail and clarity. To improve, provide more specific information about the methods used to persuade your parents and elaborate on your feelings after successfully convincing them. Adding more descriptive language and structuring the response more clearly would also be beneficial. The response could be expanded as it currently feels quite brief.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is somewhat coherent but contains noticeable hesitations and repetitions ('So,' 'You should study'). The structure is present but could be clearer with better linking phrases to connect ideas more smoothly. Try to avoid starting multiple sentences with 'So.' Focus on using a wider range of cohesive devices to improve the flow of your speech.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but lacks precision and variety. The word 'pursue' is used repeatedly. Try to use synonyms and more descriptive language to enhance your response. For example, instead of just saying 'study,' you could describe the type of study or the benefits of it. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar contains several errors that affect clarity ('touch camps for studying,' 'didn't agree to go to study,' 'put agree'). There's a limited range of sentence structures. Work on using more complex sentences and ensuring correct grammar, especially with verb tenses and prepositions. Practice constructing sentences with varied structures to improve your grammatical range.
