To pursue computer science as my undergraduate major was an important decision which I made with the help of my father. Well, after my HSE exam, like others, I was also confused about which subject I should choose for my further studies. As I had selected computer science and English literature, I was too much in dilemma because both are most popular and demanding subjects. At first, my parents told me whatever I want I can do. Then when I didn't find any conclusion, I asked my father. Then my father told me as he knew

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

Task Response

The answer stays on topic and addresses the key requirement of describing an important decision made with the help of others. It includes personal experience and some specific details, such as the dilemma between computer science and English literature after the HSE exam. However, the response could be more fully developed by elaborating on the father's reasoning or advice, and by providing more specific details about how the decision impacted the speaker. Expanding on the outcome or feelings after the decision would also strengthen the response. The response could be expanded as it currently feels quite brief.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is somewhat coherent but lacks organization and development. There is some repetition and self-correction (e.g., 'I also confused' and 'I was too much in Delhi now' which seems like a misstatement). The response is incomplete, ending abruptly. To improve, structure the answer with a clear introduction, body, and conclusion, and use cohesive devices to link ideas smoothly.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but limited. There are some errors in word choice and collocation (e.g., 'confused which subject' should be 'confused about which subject', 'too much in Delhi' likely meant 'in a dilemma'). The refined answer shows better lexical choices like 'dilemma' and 'further studies'. To improve, use a wider range of precise vocabulary and avoid repetition.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical errors, including missing prepositions ('confused which' -> 'confused about which'), incorrect verb forms ('I also confused' -> 'I was also confused'), and awkward phrasing ('I was too much in Delhi now' -> 'I was in a dilemma'). The refined answer corrects these issues. To improve, practice using a variety of sentence structures and ensure grammatical accuracy.
