I'm going to talk about an interesting building that I saw during the trip to Ho Chi Minh City, which is Landmark 81. If my memory serves me right, it was during the trip to Ho Chi Minh City with my father two years ago. From outside, the building is very tall and modern, with a lot of glass. I went there to go shopping as well. Then we also went to the next floor to see the city from above. What interested me the most was the view of the city, especially at sunset when all the lights turned on. It's very beautiful and modern. I also saw how my country is developing. I hope in the future I will have a chance to go there. It's one of my most unforgettable memories.

Task Response

The response addresses the topic and provides relevant information about Landmark 81. More specific details about the building's architecture or unique features could enhance the description. Expanding on the personal experience and the impact of the view would further strengthen the answer.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is generally coherent and follows a logical structure, describing the building and the experience. However, there are some pauses and hesitations that slightly affect the fluency. To improve, try to minimize pauses by practicing speaking more continuously on a variety of topics. Using linking words more effectively can also enhance coherence.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate for describing the building and the experience, but it could be more precise and varied. For example, instead of just saying 'very beautiful,' you could use more descriptive adjectives like 'stunning,' 'breathtaking,' or 'picturesque.' To improve, focus on learning synonyms and more specific vocabulary related to architecture and cityscapes. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is mostly accurate, but there are a few minor errors (e.g., 'I showed' instead of 'I saw,' 'What interesting me'). The range of structures is somewhat limited. To improve, focus on practicing a wider range of grammatical structures and reviewing basic grammar rules to eliminate common errors. Pay attention to verb tense consistency.
