Honestly, I have a close circle of four friends, but most of them have hectic schedules. So, we usually only get to meet during the weekends. We prefer to hang out together on Sundays, as it's easier to get everyone together then. We can chat and catch up about everything.

Task Response

The student provides a clear and relevant answer to the question, explaining their preference for meeting friends on weekends due to their busy schedules. However, the answer could be more detailed by elaborating on the specific activities they do together on Sundays. For example, they could mention going to the cinema, having dinner, or playing sports.

Fluency & Coherence

The student's speech is generally fluent, but there are some hesitations and repetitions, particularly at the beginning of the answer. The structure of the answer is clear, but could be improved by using more cohesive devices, such as conjunctions and transition words, to connect the ideas more smoothly.

Lexical Resource

The student uses a good range of vocabulary, including words like 'hectic', 'hang out', and 'catch up'. However, there are some instances of less precise language, such as 'last circle' instead of 'close circle' and 'pre preferably' instead of 'preferably'. The student could also use more specific vocabulary to describe their activities with friends.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The student demonstrates a good grasp of grammar, but there are some errors, such as 'almost of them' instead of 'most of them' and 'will will hang out' instead of 'we will hang out'. The student also uses the incorrect tense in 'It's got some time' instead of 'It has some time'. These errors could be avoided with more careful attention to grammar.
