Once my group decided that everybody likes spending money, and I agree with them because we are people. If we go shopping, we always find something we really like and want to buy; it's impossible not to like anything. I also love spending my money. I enjoy buying new clothes, new shoes, and especially spending my money on food to have delicious meals in different restaurants, and so on.

Pronunciation

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

Task Response

The response addresses the question directly and provides clear reasons for preferring to spend money. The answer includes personal examples such as buying clothes, shoes, and enjoying meals at restaurants, which adds a personal touch. To improve, consider providing a more balanced perspective or acknowledging potential benefits of saving money, even if you prefer spending.

Fluency & Coherence

The response is generally understandable, but there are some hesitations and a lack of smooth flow. The ideas are connected, but the connections could be clearer. Try to use more cohesive devices to link your ideas together more smoothly. For example, use phrases like 'In addition to that' or 'Furthermore' to add more information.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but not particularly varied or precise. The speaker uses common words like 'delicious' and 'new.' To improve, try to incorporate more specific and descriptive vocabulary related to shopping and dining experiences. For example, instead of 'delicious meal,' you could say 'exquisite culinary experience.'

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical errors, such as 'Once my group made it that everybody likes spending money' and 'it's impossible to don't like anything.' These errors affect clarity. Focus on using correct sentence structures and avoiding double negatives. Practice using a variety of sentence structures to improve grammatical range.
