I usually read some pages, around 10 pages, before the story. I like this activity because I want to improve my personality and my understanding, and I want to see another world. When I read a book, I feel like a new person. I think about the characters in the books, and I feel like the main character. I make choices and decisions like they do. I feel good because I think it's important for a person to reflect on their thoughts. However, sometimes I feel discomfort because my back hurts.

Actual audio transcript (What native speakers are likely to hear):

I really perform on some page, some page, around 10 pages before the story. I like this activity because I want to improve my personality, my things, and I want to see another world. When I read a book, I know I am a new person. And then I just think about the characters in books. And I feel like the main character. And then I choose the other, I choose the decision. I feel like, I feel good because I think it’s too important for a person who wants to think about… your head. So I feel possibly my back hurts.

Pronunciation

Your pronunciation is average. It is understandable but not always accurate. Focusing on the rhythm and stress patterns of English could prove beneficial.

Task Response

The response addresses the prompt, but could benefit from more elaboration and specific details. For example, mentioning the types of books you read or providing a specific example of a book and how it makes you feel would strengthen the answer. Also, expanding on how often you read and the circumstances surrounding your reading sessions would be beneficial. The response could be expanded as it currently feels quite brief.

Fluency & Coherence

The response is somewhat coherent, but there are noticeable hesitations and repetitions ('some page, some page'). The organization of ideas is generally understandable, but could be smoother with better use of cohesive devices. Try to minimize pauses and repetitions by practicing speaking more continuously on a variety of topics.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but lacks precision and variety. The phrase 'my things' is vague. The candidate could benefit from using more specific and descriptive words to enhance the clarity and impact of their descriptions. For example, instead of 'my things,' the candidate could say 'my understanding' or 'my perspective'. Focus on learning synonyms and more precise vocabulary to express your ideas more effectively.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammatical range is limited, and there are some errors that affect clarity (e.g., 'I really perform on some page'). Sentence structures are simple, and there's a lack of complex sentence formation. Work on using a wider range of grammatical structures, including complex sentences, and focus on accuracy in verb tenses and sentence construction. Review basic grammar rules and practice constructing more complex sentences.
