Task Response

The student answered the question directly, but the answer is a bit vague. They could have elaborated on why they prefer spending holidays with family. For example, they could have mentioned specific activities they enjoy doing together or the importance of family bonding.

The student uses basic vocabulary effectively, but there is room for improvement in terms of range and precision. For example, instead of saying "busy with work," they could have used a more specific phrase like "swamped with work" or "tied up with work." They could also use more descriptive language to express their feelings about spending time with family.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The student makes a few grammatical errors, such as "I was bus with my time time." They also struggle with sentence structure, particularly in the second sentence. The student could benefit from practicing their grammar and sentence construction.
