In my opinion, it's actually important for children to learn how to cook. From an early age, a lot of children are involved in cooking. They see how their mom or grandma cooks, and then they become interested in it. When children get older, they need to know how to cook for themselves. In the future, they will go to university and leave home, so it's important for them to know how to cook. But if children are not involved in it, you shouldn't force them. Because in the future, they will learn it themselves.

Your pronunciation is above average. However, you may find complexity in certain words challenging. Regular practice should aid in improvement.

Task Response

The answer is well-organized and coherent, covering the importance of cooking skills for children's independence and future needs. Consider expanding on the benefits beyond practicality, such as understanding nutrition and cultural aspects of food. The concluding sentence could be strengthened by offering a more conclusive thought instead of simply stating that children will learn eventually.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent and mostly fluent. There are a few minor hesitations and a slightly awkward phrasing ("But if children are not involved in it you haven't forced him"), but the overall flow is good. Improving the smoothness of transitions between ideas would enhance fluency.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate and appropriate for the task. The speaker uses words like "involved," "supply to the university," and "forced" effectively. More precise vocabulary choices could elevate the response. For example, instead of "supply to the university," "go to university" or "attend university" would be more natural.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are some grammatical inaccuracies, such as the use of "he" instead of "they" in a couple of instances and the slightly ungrammatical sentence "But if children are not involved in it you haven't forced him." While the overall message is clear, more attention to subject-verb agreement and sentence structure would improve accuracy. The use of simple sentence structures is prevalent; incorporating more complex structures would demonstrate a wider grammatical range.
