Male Female

These days I have worked with older people, specifically an older woman. Actually, I have to work with her because she is my head teacher. However, I really don't like working with her; I don't enjoy it because our ideas don't match. Sometimes we have to do teamwork during school, which can make it really challenging to build a good team.

Pronunciation

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

Task Response

The response is relevant and provides a clear answer to the question. The candidate elaborates on their experience and explains the challenges they face. To improve, the candidate could provide more specific examples or details to further illustrate their points.

Fluency & Coherence

The response is generally understandable, but there are some hesitations and a lack of smooth flow. The ideas are presented, but the connections between them could be clearer. Using cohesive devices like 'however' or 'therefore' more effectively could improve coherence. Practice speaking more smoothly and connecting your ideas logically.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate for the task, but it lacks precision and variety. The phrase 'all the people, older person who is a woman' is a bit awkward. Try to use more specific and varied vocabulary to express your ideas more clearly. For example, instead of 'ideas don't match,' you could say 'we have conflicting perspectives.'

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical errors in the response, such as 'older person who is a woman' and 'which can make really challenging.' These errors affect the clarity of the message. Focus on using correct grammar and sentence structure. Practice using a variety of sentence structures to improve your grammatical range.

All public transport should be free

I believe that public transportation should be, or at least, much cheaper. There are several reasons for this.
