Male Female

I do not fully agree that money can always bring happiness. While in some circumstances, money can bring happiness, especially if we're looking for something we like, it has always been our dream to get one. When we have the money to buy that, it can be such a pleasure for us to have the good things we've been looking for. However, money cannot bring happiness when it comes to health or relationships with loved ones. The quality of time and health is just invaluable compared to the money we have.

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 and presents a clear viewpoint. It would benefit from expanding on the reasons why money cannot buy happiness in terms of health and relationships, and by providing more general examples instead of personal experiences.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is generally fluent with some minor hesitations and repetitions. Try to use discourse markers to enhance coherence and flow.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate and conveys the message effectively. However, some words are not used precisely, such as 'good sort of happy things.' Consider using more sophisticated vocabulary to express your ideas more precisely. For example, instead of 'good things,' you could use 'desired possessions' or 'coveted items.'

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are a few grammatical errors, such as the use of 'infallible' instead of 'invaluable.' While the grammatical range is adequate for conveying the message, using more complex sentence structures and grammatical forms would enhance your score. For example, you could use conditional sentences like 'If we have the financial means to acquire something we deeply desire, it can undoubtedly bring us joy.'
