I usually don't read books in the same way as children. One of the tips I like is to select a book because it relates to tips about self-improvement. Besides, books written in English can help me improve my language skills. This section is inspired by books. It's often so interesting, in addition to novels, because the development of the relationship between the main characters is somewhat engaging.

Task Response

The answer is relevant to the question and provides sufficient detail. Consider structuring your response more clearly to improve the flow and coherence. You could also expand on specific examples of books or self-improvement tips to further enhance your answer.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is understandable but lacks a clear structure. The connection between liking self-improvement books and reading books in English to improve English is a bit unclear. Try to organize your thoughts more logically and use clearer transitions between ideas. For example, instead of "Besides the books that are written in English," try "Additionally, reading books in English..." Also, the ending is abrupt and doesn't fully answer the question.

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is adequate but could be more precise. Words like "sell a book" and "equates with the tips" are not quite accurate. Consider using more precise vocabulary such as "select a book" or "is relevant to self-improvement tips." The phrase "somewhat" is a bit vague; try to be more specific.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical errors. "I usually don't know how to read the books" is grammatically incorrect. The sentence structure is often awkward and unclear. Work on sentence structure and grammar accuracy. For example, "This section is written because of the books" is unclear; try rephrasing it. Practice using a wider range of grammatical structures.
