English teaching and learning in Vietnam have improved a lot in recent years. Schools are starting to offer more lessons. Sometimes as early as kindergarten, teachers focus more on communication skills instead of just grammar and translation. Technology is a key learning preference, and digital tools are also being used to support language learning. However, students in rural areas still face difficulties due to climate disasters, access to qualified teachers, and resources.

Your pronunciation is average. It is understandable but not always accurate. Focusing on the rhythm and stress patterns of English could prove beneficial.

Task Response

The answer is well-organized and covers key aspects of the changes in English teaching and learning in Vietnam. Consider expanding on the use of technology and providing specific examples. Addressing the challenges in rural areas with more detail would further strengthen the response.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is understandable, but there are some unusual phrases and a lack of smooth transitions. The structure is mostly coherent, but could benefit from more sophisticated linking words and a more logical flow of ideas. For example, the phrase "Endless teaching and learning" is unclear and should be replaced with something like "English language teaching and learning." The sudden insertion of "A liar" is completely out of place and needs to be removed. Work on smoother transitions between ideas and more precise language.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is adequate, but not particularly sophisticated. The candidate uses some appropriate terms like "communication skills" and "digital tools." However, there's room for improvement in word choice and precision. For example, instead of 'climate disaster,' a more precise term like 'natural disasters' or specific examples would be better. Expanding vocabulary with more nuanced terms will improve the score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical errors, including subject-verb agreement issues and incorrect word order. The sentence "Schools are starting endless lessons" is grammatically incorrect. The phrase "study students" is also incorrect. The candidate needs to focus on improving grammatical accuracy and sentence structure. More attention to subject-verb agreement and correct use of articles will significantly improve the score.

Do you think it is better for children to have a few close friends or many casual friends?

I think it’s one of the most popular questions of our society and in my opinion, I would go for a few close friends. That’s mainly because close friends try to help them in difficult situations and give unconditional advice to get them to get over problems. And this thing is quite important especially at […]
