Actually, I'm not the type of person who plans my weekends or my Fridays. I don't say, 'Oh, on Friday I will go to this mountain' or 'On Friday, I will go with this person.' Instead, on weekends or in my free time, I take my bike and go with my best friends to see people, discover new spots, and have adventures to enjoy fresh air in the forest. That's it.

Pronunciation

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

Task Response

The response addresses the question directly and provides a clear preference for spontaneity. The answer includes details about weekend activities, offering a good level of elaboration. To improve, consider adding more specific examples or reasons to further support your preference.

Fluency & Coherence

The response is somewhat coherent, but there are noticeable hesitations and repetitions ('in my Friday'). The organization of ideas could be improved for better flow. Try to avoid unnecessary repetition and use cohesive devices to link your ideas more smoothly. For example, you could use 'Instead of planning, I prefer...' to contrast your approach.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but lacks precision and variety. Phrases like 'discover some spots' and 'take an adventure' are quite general. Try to use more specific and descriptive words to enhance your response. For example, instead of 'discover some spots,' you could say 'explore hidden gems' or 'find scenic overlooks.' Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical errors, such as 'I plan to my weekends' and incorrect use of prepositions ('in my Friday'). The range of sentence structures is limited. Focus on using correct grammar and try to incorporate a wider variety of sentence structures to improve your score. For example, use compound or complex sentences to express more nuanced ideas.

All public transport should be free

I believe that public transportation should be, or at least, much cheaper. There are several reasons for this. First of all, free public transport would help people save money, especially students and people with low incomes. Secondly, if passes and trains were free, people would probably use them instead of provide cars. As a result, […]
