The technological device I use often is my smartphone. I have had it for one year. This phone is always in my hands, but not always used. I only use it when I need it. This is my old story. It was a Sunday. I lost my friends on a big road. I couldn't find them. I wanted to contact one of my old friends. I had forgotten to use my phone to reach one of my friends. I felt worried and excited. I learned a lesson: you should always carry your phone with you. Carrying my phone helps me chat with friends, learn with some AI like ChatGPT, Google, and stay updated on news. It is very convenient for me to use it.

Pronunciation

5.5

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 answer is relevant to the prompt and includes some personal experience. However, more details and specific examples are needed to fully address each part of the question and to demonstrate a higher level of fluency and coherence. Consider expanding on the uses of your smartphone, providing more specific examples of how you use it for communication, learning, and staying updated on news. Elaborate on the frequency of use with more concrete examples rather than general statements.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is somewhat coherent, but the narrative is a bit disjointed. The story about losing friends feels somewhat tangential and could be better integrated or removed. Work on smoother transitions between ideas. Practice speaking more fluently and reducing hesitations and repetitions.

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is adequate but not particularly sophisticated. The phrase 'always in my hands, but not always used' is a bit contradictory. Try to use more precise and varied vocabulary to describe the functions of your smartphone. Consider using synonyms for 'use' and 'convenient'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammar contains several errors. 'I have had it one year ago' is incorrect. 'I wanted to contact with one of my old friends' is also grammatically incorrect. 'Carrying my phone with me always helps me chatting' is not grammatically correct. Focus on improving grammatical accuracy, particularly tense consistency and preposition usage. Practice using a wider range of grammatical structures.
