I have one memory about this. My brother wanted to study genetic engineering, but he didn't get enough points on his university exam, and he was very upset. I encouraged him because I believed in him, so he studied again for the exam. He studied for one year, and the next year he took the exam again and was really successful. He got into university and studied genetic engineering. I am very happy for him now, and he is very happy with his subjects. My whole family believed in him, and that's all.

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 prompt by describing a time the speaker persuaded their brother to retake an exam. More details could be added to fully explain the methods used to persuade the brother and to elaborate on the speaker's feelings about the outcome. Consider providing a more detailed narrative to fully meet the requirements of the prompt. The response could be expanded as it currently feels quite brief.

Fluency & Coherence

The response is somewhat coherent, but there are noticeable pauses and some repetition. The narrative is understandable, but the flow could be improved with better use of linking words and phrases. To improve, focus on connecting ideas more smoothly and avoiding unnecessary pauses.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate for the task, but it lacks precision and variety. The candidate uses simple words and phrases. To enhance the lexical resource, try to incorporate more specific and descriptive vocabulary related to the topic of persuasion and academic achievement. Pay attention to vocabulary repetition to improve the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammatical range is limited, and there are several errors in sentence structure and verb tense usage. For example, 'he can't take enough points' and 'he go to university' contain grammatical errors. To improve, focus on using a wider range of grammatical structures accurately and paying attention to verb tenses and subject-verb agreement.
