Polished transcript:

Male Female

One of the most memorable things in my life that I have ever seen is helping other people. One of the most admirable people that I have always admired significantly is my cousin named M.D. Rakibu Hasan. Since my childhood, I have been observing that Mr. Rakibu Hasan always used to serve people as much as possible. He always thinks that helping people is one of the biggest successes in life. I admire him most because he collects a lot of money from people; he is trusted by others, and I try to follow him in my life. There was a moment during our winter season when some poor people were suffering in the cold weather, and he gave a lot of blankets and distributed them. He also gave many other things to people. I would say it is hard to find someone as kind and professional as he is. His dedication to helping others is truly inspiring, and it motivates me to be a better person and contribute to my community.

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 by identifying a specific person and providing examples of their helpful nature. The inclusion of a specific anecdote regarding the distribution of blankets during winter adds necessary detail and personal connection. To improve the score, the response could be expanded by providing more specific details about the 'other things' he gave or describing the impact his actions had on the community. Additionally, elaborating more on the personal influence he has had on your own character would help in providing a more fully developed answer.

Fluency & Coherence

The speaker demonstrates the ability to keep talking, but there is significant hesitation and frequent self-correction (e.g., 'he used to, he used to, serving people'). The coherence is somewhat disrupted by these repetitions and a lack of smooth transitions between ideas. To improve, work on using cohesive devices (like 'Furthermore,' 'For instance,' or 'In addition') to link your thoughts more naturally and practice speaking in longer, continuous phrases to reduce the frequency of restarts.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is sufficient to convey the basic meaning, but it is quite repetitive (e.g., using 'helping people' and 'admire' multiple times). There are also some word choice errors and awkward expressions, such as 'kind-fessional hard person,' which is unclear. To reach a higher band, try to use more varied synonyms. Instead of 'helping people,' you could use 'philanthropy,' 'charitable acts,' or 'altruism.' Instead of 'big success,' try 'fulfilling achievement.'

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical inaccuracies that affect the flow. Issues include subject-verb agreement ('one of the most memorable thing' should be 'things'), tense inconsistency (mixing present and past tense when describing a specific event), and incorrect preposition usage ('suffering into the cold'). You also used a double superlative ('most biggest'), which is grammatically incorrect. Focus on mastering basic tense consistency and the correct formation of superlatives to improve your score.
