Male Female

The person that I would like to talk about is my aunt. She is a very successful brownie business owner. She decided to start this business because she has always loved to bake sweet treats and she really liked something sweet like brownies and macarons, also tiramisu. So she just wanted to turn her passion into a good way to earn some money. At first she started everything from zero right in her small kitchen with her mother. She baked brownies every day and sold them to her classmates, her family, and also her neighbors. Because her brownies were so delicious and of high quality, more and more people started ordering from her. After saving enough money, she was finally able to open her own bakery shop that was called Aunty Kitchen. I really admire her hard work and passion. I think her story is very inspiring to me, and in the future I would love to have my own business just like her.

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 effectively addresses all parts of the topic, describing the person, the business, the reason for starting it, and the speaker's own inclination. It includes personal experience and specific details, such as the aunt's initial operations from her kitchen and the eventual opening of a shop. To achieve a higher score, consider elaborating on the challenges faced and the broader impact of the business, which would add depth and further demonstrate a full and appropriate response.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is generally coherent and follows a logical structure, but there are noticeable issues with fluency. There are several instances of self-correction and repetition (e.g., 'she really liked something sweet like Bronis and Makaroni also, Kiramisu' and 'her class friends, her family also her neck boards'). The refined answer shows clearer organization, but the raw answer lacks smooth transitions and has some awkward phrasing. To improve, practice speaking more smoothly, avoid unnecessary repetition, and use cohesive devices like 'firstly', 'subsequently', and 'finally' to guide the listener.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is basic and contains several errors, such as 'brony business' instead of 'brownie business', 'bakeies' instead of 'baked goods', 'Makaroni' instead of 'macarons', 'Kiramisu' instead of 'tiramisu', 'patient' instead of 'passion', 'smile kitchen' instead of 'small kitchen', and 'neck boards' instead of 'neighbors'. These errors significantly affect precision. The refined answer demonstrates better word choice, but the raw answer needs improvement in using accurate and varied vocabulary. To improve, expand your vocabulary related to business and baking, and practice using precise terms.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is mostly understandable but contains several errors. For example, 'She is a very successful brony business' should be 'She is a very successful brownie business owner'. 'She just want to turn' should be 'She just wanted to turn'. 'it has a high quality' should be 'it was of high quality'. 'that called' should be 'that was called'. 'her story is very inspiring me' should be 'her story is very inspiring to me'. The answer uses simple sentence structures with limited range. To improve, practice using a variety of sentence structures, including complex sentences, and ensure subject-verb agreement and correct tense usage.
