Now, I would like to talk about a significant decision that I made with the help of other people. I'll start by explaining what the decision was. I made a commitment to one of my favorite habits: reading. I decided to read every single night before sleeping, and I thought it would be great if I did this. At that time, I was struggling with only studying, along with my household chores. I was focused solely on studying, and I told myself that I should add one activity to my daily routine. That is why I chose this habit. Actually, one of my best friends, Mubina, helped me make this decision. She recommended that I read every single day before sleeping, as I mentioned. Her encouragement played a significant role in my commitment to this new habit, and it has positively impacted my life.

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 topic but could benefit from more elaboration on the decision-making process and the specific ways in which others helped. Providing more details about the challenges you faced and how your friend's advice specifically guided you would strengthen the answer.

Fluency & Coherence

The response is somewhat coherent, but there are noticeable hesitations and self-corrections that disrupt the flow. The organization is basic, and while the introduction is clear, the development of the idea could be smoother. To improve, practice speaking more continuously and use linking phrases to connect ideas more effectively. For example, use phrases like 'Furthermore,' 'In addition to,' or 'As a result' to create a more cohesive narrative.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but lacks precision and variety. There are instances of repetitive word choice (e.g., 'studying and studying'). To enhance lexical resource, try to incorporate synonyms and more descriptive language. For example, instead of 'struggling with only studying,' you could say 'I was overwhelmed by my studies.' Also, try to use more idiomatic expressions where appropriate. Pay attention to vocabulary repetition to improve the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammatical range is limited, and there are several errors that affect clarity (e.g., 'I made commitment,' 'except my household, house works,' 'gave a favor for making a decision'). To improve, focus on using a wider range of grammatical structures and review basic grammar rules, particularly verb tenses and article usage. Practice constructing more complex sentences to demonstrate a greater command of grammar.
