Task Response

The student provides a clear preference for both big companies and small businesses, but the explanation is a bit vague. They mention prioritizing quality, but don't elaborate on why they prefer both options. A stronger answer would provide specific examples or reasons for their preference.

Fluency & Coherence

The student struggles with fluency, using a lot of fillers like "um" and "uh." The answer is somewhat coherent, but the explanation lacks clarity and could be more organized. Encouraging the student to pause and think before speaking, and to use connecting words like "because" and "for example" would improve coherence.

Lexical Resource

The student uses basic vocabulary effectively, but could expand their range. They use phrases like "good qualities" and "quality items" which are acceptable, but more specific and descriptive language would be beneficial. Encouraging the student to use synonyms and more precise vocabulary would improve their score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The student demonstrates basic grammatical accuracy, but there are some minor errors. For example, they use "it's" instead of "they are" when referring to big companies and small businesses. Encouraging the student to practice using a wider range of grammatical structures and to pay attention to subject-verb agreement would improve their score.
