Male Female

I am a great fan of TV. When I was younger, my brother, my sister, and I used to sit in front of the TV for maybe two or three hours after we came back from school. We would stay there playing, listening to music, watching new series, and new movies. We were so happy. Nowadays, I don't watch TV that much because the internet is more popular in my generation. I work more than nine hours a day, especially while preparing for exams and getting into a new university. So I don't have time for TV, but I wish I could in the future.

Task Response

7.5

This is an excellent response. The answer directly addresses the question and provides a detailed and engaging account of the candidate's relationship with television, both past and present. The candidate effectively uses past and present tenses to describe their viewing habits and provides context for their current limited viewing time. The response is natural and fluent.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent and well-structured. The narrative flows smoothly, transitioning effectively between past and present habits. Minor repetition ('listening') could be avoided for improved fluency. Consider using more sophisticated linking words to enhance the flow, such as 'however,' 'moreover,' or 'in contrast'.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate and appropriate for the topic. The speaker uses a range of vocabulary related to TV viewing and leisure activities. More precise vocabulary could be used in places; for example, instead of 'popular thing,' consider 'prevalent' or 'dominant'. The phrase 'a new university' could be improved to 'university admission' or 'university entrance'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammar is mostly accurate, with only minor errors. The sentence 'me and my brother and my sister, we used to sit...' is grammatically incorrect; it should be 'My brother, my sister, and I...' The tense usage is mostly consistent and appropriate. The use of 'use to' instead of 'used to' is a minor error. More complex grammatical structures could be incorporated to demonstrate a wider range.
