Male Female

Good morning. This was an interesting question. I really like and enjoy reading books because I find them very informative, and I can step away from the modern technological life of using mobile phones or televisions. Moreover, reading gives me a lot of peace, and I like to gain as much information through doing things that are less technological or stressful for our minds, which we already indulge in our daily lives by using cell phones and laptops. I prefer Harry Potter or any sort of books that are mysterious.

Pronunciation

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

Task Response

The response is comprehensive and directly addresses the question. The candidate provides clear reasons for enjoying reading and specifies a preferred genre with a concrete example. The answer is well-articulated and demonstrates a strong command of English.

Fluency & Coherence

The response is generally fluent, but there are some hesitations ('um') that slightly disrupt the flow. The ideas are connected, but the structure could be more concise. Try to minimize filler words and organize your thoughts more clearly before speaking.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate and relevant to the topic. The phrase 'step away from the modern day technological life' is a bit wordy. Consider using more precise and varied vocabulary to enhance your response. For example, instead of 'any sort of MOOCs which are mysterious,' you could say 'books with mysterious themes'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is mostly accurate, but there are a few areas for improvement. For example, 'I like to gain as much as information' should be 'I like to gain as much information.' Also, 'doing things which are less technological or giving stress to our minds' could be rephrased for better clarity and grammatical correctness. Focus on using a wider range of sentence structures and ensuring accuracy in your grammar.
