In the future, I would like to learn cooking skills because for me, it is an essential life skill. My mom can't cook or make dishes for me for the rest of my life because she needs to retire and spend her time on vacation and relax after a long time taking care of her joints. These days, we have a variety of ways to learn something, including online classes, offline classes, YouTube videos, and so on. However, I prefer online classes for several reasons. I want to interact directly with professionals who can teach me cooking skills in the future. I want to learn this skill because I need to prepare my meals just for myself. When I have an independent life as I grow up, I need to know cooking skills because it can help me make delicious meals that taste like my mom's. My mom is the best feature in my heart because she always has done so much for me.

Pronunciation

6
Your pronunciation is above average. However, you may find complexity in certain words challenging. Regular practice should aid in improvement.

Task Response

7
The response addresses the prompt by describing a new skill the speaker would like to learn. The answer is generally clear and coherent, providing reasons for wanting to learn the skill and a preferred method of learning. To improve, consider adding more specific details about the types of cooking skills you want to learn or the specific dishes you'd like to master. Also, try to elaborate further on the benefits of learning this skill beyond just preparing meals.

Fluency & Coherence

6
The answer is generally understandable, but there are some noticeable hesitations and repetitions ('and,' 'because'). The structure is present, but could be improved with more signposting and linking phrases to guide the listener. Consider using more varied cohesive devices to connect ideas smoothly.

Lexical Resource

6
The vocabulary is adequate for the topic, but it lacks precision and variety. There are some instances of using less common vocabulary ('best features in my heart') which are not entirely appropriate. Focus on expanding your vocabulary related to cooking and learning new skills, and ensure you use words accurately.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

6
There are several grammatical errors throughout the response, including incorrect verb tenses ('she need to retire'), incorrect pronoun usage ('for me is'), and awkward sentence structures. While the meaning is generally clear, these errors impact the overall quality of the response. Practice using a wider range of grammatical structures with greater accuracy.
