We all have to make decisions from time to time in our lives. Some decisions may be small, and some may be big. Here, I would like to talk about a decision my dad made. He decided to send my brother abroad to pursue his studies and settle in Canada. In India, my brother was a national-level shooter and won many medals. However, my dad decided to have my brother quit shooting in India. It was hard to send him away from home, but he thought about his future and told my brother that if he wanted to have a good future, he should go abroad. Now, he's living a comfortable life and is independent. He also receives training from world-class coaches and has improved his skills significantly. I admire my dad for his decision. That was the decision my dad made, which I think was a good one.

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

Task Response

You provided a good description of the decision and the person who made it. You also explained why it was a good decision and how you felt about it. However, you could have provided more specific details about your brother's life in Canada and how he has improved his shooting skills. For example, you could mention what kind of training he receives or what competitions he has participated in. You could also mention how your brother feels about the decision and how it has impacted his life. The response could be expanded as it currently feels quite brief.

Fluency & Coherence

You spoke fluently and coherently for the most part. However, there were a few instances where you stumbled over your words, such as when you said "at his independent." You could also improve the flow of your speech by using more transition words and phrases, such as "for example" or "in addition." You could also try to avoid repeating yourself, such as when you said "That was the decision my dad made, which I think is good." You could simply say "That was a good decision."

You used a good range of vocabulary, but you could have used more precise and sophisticated language. For example, instead of saying "luxurious life," you could have said "comfortable life." Instead of saying "get training," you could have said "receive training." You could also use more idiomatic expressions, such as "to make a go of it" or "to make a success of something." Pay attention to vocabulary repetition to improve the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

You used a good range of grammatical structures, but there were a few errors. For example, you said "send him a broad away from his eyes." You should have said "send him abroad away from his eyes." You also said "He also get training for shooting from white level coaches." You should have said "He also receives training from world-class coaches." You could also improve your grammar by using more complex sentence structures, such as using relative clauses or participial phrases.
