Let me think about that question. I would say it's better to discuss future plans with family instead of friends because family has... My parents may have more experience in society. They have worked more years than my friends. But even my friends may have more knowledge about current trends. But yeah, I think family suggestions may be more valuable to hear about.

Pronunciation

Your pronunciation is quite good. Working on consistency and tackling difficult sounds may enhance clarity.

Task Response

The response addresses the question but could benefit from further development and clarity. While the speaker provides a reason for preferring family, elaborating on the specific types of advice or experiences that make family input more valuable would strengthen the answer. Additionally, expanding on the potential benefits of discussing plans with friends, beyond just current trends, could offer a more balanced perspective.

Fluency & Coherence

The response is generally coherent, but there are some hesitations and fillers ('like', 'yeah') that affect the flow. The organization is clear, but could be improved with more cohesive devices to link ideas smoothly. Try to minimize pauses and use linking words to connect your thoughts more effectively.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but lacks precision and variety. Words like 'worthy' are used, but the range could be expanded. Focus on using more specific and nuanced vocabulary to express your ideas more accurately. For example, instead of 'worthy,' consider 'valuable,' 'insightful,' or 'reliable.'

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is mostly accurate, but there are some errors and simplifications ('family have' instead of 'family has'). The range of structures is limited. Work on using a wider variety of grammatical structures and ensuring subject-verb agreement. Pay attention to using correct verb tenses and articles.
