Male Female

The person I want to talk about is my mother. It happened during the COVID-19 pandemic, so she started trying to make an online shop. She used to sell jars, containers, and food to have extra money and help the family. But she stopped the online shop because she had to take care of my younger siblings who are growing up. And I think she's inspired me because she worked hard and tried something new. And that makes me learn that business needs time and patience. So in the future, I hope to start my own business, become independent and manage my wealth. And I also plan to build a cafe together with my mother. So I hope that dream comes true in the future.

Pronunciation

Your pronunciation is quite good. Working on consistency and tackling difficult sounds may enhance clarity.

Task Response

The response addresses the topic by describing the person (mother), the business (online shop), and the reason for starting it (extra money during the pandemic). It also includes a personal opinion about future plans. However, the answer lacks depth and specific details, such as the types of products sold, challenges faced, or how the business was managed. The explanation of why the person decided to start the business is brief, and the final part about personal aspirations could be more developed. To improve, expand on each bullet point with concrete examples and elaborate on the personal connection to the business.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent and follows a logical structure, but it lacks cohesive devices and has some abrupt transitions. The response is relatively short and could be more developed. To improve, use linking words (e.g., 'however', 'therefore', 'in addition') and expand on each point with more detail and examples.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but limited. There is some good use of phrases like 'extra money' and 'inspired me', but the range is narrow. To improve, use more precise and varied vocabulary (e.g., 'entrepreneurial venture', 'financial stability', 'resilience') and avoid repetition. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is mostly accurate, but there are some errors and limited range. For example, 'It happens when there's COVID-19 pandemic' should be 'It happened during the COVID-19 pandemic'. Also, 'manage mining wealth' is unclear and likely a misstatement. To improve, use a wider range of sentence structures (e.g., complex sentences) and ensure accuracy in tense and word choice.
