Yes, I enjoyed singing when I was a teenager because it is my profession, and I really emotionally connect with a song. I participated in several programs, such as at my school and in family events. When I sing, I gain better energy and confidence, which is really important for our lives. However, when I completed my thesis, I used to sing for my teacher and friends, and they appreciated me for being a good singer.

Pronunciation

Your pronunciation is above average. However, you may find complexity in certain words challenging. Regular practice should aid in improvement.

Task Response

The answer directly addresses the question and provides relevant details regarding the user's past experiences with singing. There is a good level of elaboration, moving from personal feelings to specific instances like school programs and family events. To improve, ensure that the verb tenses remain consistent when discussing the past; for example, 'it is my profession' could be adjusted to 'it was my passion' or 'I was pursuing it as a profession' to better align with the past tense context of the question. Additionally, the transition to the mention of the thesis could be smoother to maintain a logical flow of ideas.

Fluency & Coherence

The speaker manages to keep talking, but there is a lack of logical flow and coherence. The transition using 'However' is used incorrectly; 'however' is for contrast, but the student used it to introduce a supporting detail about singing for teachers. To improve, use cohesive devices like 'Furthermore', 'In addition', or 'For instance' to link related ideas. There is also some repetition of ideas regarding energy and confidence.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is quite limited and there are significant errors in word choice and formation. For example, 'emotionally intersweeping' is not a standard English expression (the refined version suggests 'connect with'), and 'family program' is awkward (better to use 'family events'). The student attempts to use more complex words but fails to use them accurately, which obscures meaning.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are frequent grammatical errors that occasionally impede communication. Issues include tense inconsistency (mixing present 'it is my profession' with past 'I enjoyed'), incorrect preposition usage, and awkward sentence structures ('they were appreciating me that I am a good singer'). To reach a higher band, focus on mastering past tense narratives and ensuring subject-verb agreement.
