Task Response

The student understands the importance of free time but struggles to express their thoughts clearly. They could benefit from using more specific examples and elaborating on their points. For example, instead of saying "everyone needs time for themselves," they could mention specific activities like spending time with family, pursuing hobbies, or simply relaxing.

Fluency & Coherence

The student's speech is hesitant and contains several fillers like "uh" and "so." They also repeat themselves, saying "very important" twice. The student could improve their fluency by practicing speaking more naturally and avoiding unnecessary repetitions.

Lexical Resource

The student uses some appropriate vocabulary, such as "recharge" and "beloved one." However, they also use some less precise words like "another persons" and "get hard working." The student could expand their vocabulary by reading more and learning new words related to leisure activities and personal time.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The student makes several grammatical errors, including incorrect verb tenses and subject-verb agreement. For example, they say "everyone wanted" instead of "everyone wants" and "they need to free" instead of "they need to be free." The student could improve their grammar by reviewing basic grammar rules and practicing sentence structure.
