To be honest, I didn't often use perfume in my school years because I was focused on my subjects. However, after graduating from school and entering university, I began to use it more frequently. I think that by smelling good, I present myself well in my profession and to others. My friend assists me in choosing the most suitable scent when we go out or when we go to university. It also depends on my one or two years of experience. I think that French perfume is the best in the world.

The answer is quite good and covers the topic well. However, to improve, try to provide more specific details and examples to support your points. For example, instead of saying "French perfume is the best in the world," you could mention specific brands or types of French perfume that you like and explain why you prefer them. Elaborating on your friend's role in choosing perfumes and providing more details about your experiences with different scents would also enhance your response. The response could be expanded as it currently feels quite brief.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent, but the fluency could be improved. There are a few instances of unnatural phrasing and hesitations. Focus on smoother transitions between ideas and a more natural flow of speech. Practice speaking at a consistent pace.

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is adequate but not highly sophisticated. While the speaker uses words like 'frequently' and 'suitable,' more precise and nuanced vocabulary could elevate the response. Consider using synonyms and more descriptive language to enrich your vocabulary.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical errors, including incorrect use of articles and prepositions. The sentence 'My friend assistants me how can you choose...' is grammatically incorrect. Work on improving accuracy in sentence structure and grammar rules. Pay attention to subject-verb agreement and correct preposition usage.
