To be honest, I'm not a huge fan of science, but I was interested in it when I was in 8th grade. At that time, it captured my attention because it seemed really fascinating, and I was eager to search for information about how it was going and what science was like nowadays. But now, I can say that I hate science, mainly because of a strict teacher, and because of her, I started to dislike this subject.

Actual audio transcript (What native speakers are likely to hear):

To be honest, I’m not a huge fan of science, but I was interested in it when I was at 8th grade. At this time, it captures my attention just because it seems to me really fascinating and I was just on the top to just search some information about how it’s going, what about the science nowadays. But nowadays I’m able to say that I hate science, just because there was a school street teacher and because of her I started to hate this subject.

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 question directly and provides a clear explanation of the student's changing attitude towards science. The answer includes specific reasons for both initial interest and later dislike. To improve, the response could benefit from a more detailed elaboration on the specific aspects of science that were initially fascinating or the specific behaviors of the teacher that led to the change in attitude.

Fluency & Coherence

The response is generally coherent, but there are some hesitations and slight reformulations. The use of 'just' is a bit repetitive. Try to vary your linking words and phrases to improve coherence. For example, instead of repeating 'just because,' use alternatives like 'mainly because,' 'due to,' or 'as a result of.'

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but could be more precise. 'Captures my attention' and 'fascinating' are good, but the description of searching for information could be more specific. Consider using more descriptive words related to science, such as 'research,' 'discoveries,' or specific scientific fields that interested you. Also, 'school street teacher' is unclear; consider using 'strict teacher' or 'demanding teacher' instead.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is mostly accurate, but there are a few errors. 'When I was at 8th grade' should be 'when I was in 8th grade.' 'It captures my attention' is grammatically correct but sounds slightly unnatural; 'it captured my attention' would be better in the context of past interest. Focus on using correct prepositions and verb tenses to improve accuracy.
