I think in what ordinary people cook, celebrity or TV chefs have a greater influence than they realize. When they see celebrities or TV chefs on the big screen, especially if those celebrities and TV chefs are favorites of ordinary people, they will have a positive opinion about that certain food. They will think that the recipe is out of this world and will try to make it at home as well. Here, ordinary people might not realize it, but in cooking that food, the celebrity or TV chef definitely has a strong influence.

Pronunciation

Your pronunciation is above average. However, you may find complexity in certain words challenging. Regular practice should aid in improvement.

Task Response

The answer is well-organized and coherent, directly addressing the question. Consider expanding on the types of influence, perhaps discussing how chefs might impact food choices beyond specific recipes (e.g., promoting certain ingredients or cooking techniques).

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent and mostly fluent. Minor repetition and slight awkward phrasing ('a great influence than they think') could be improved for greater fluency. Consider using more sophisticated linking words to enhance the flow.

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is adequate and mostly accurate. While the speaker uses words like 'positive opinion' and 'out of the world,' more precise and nuanced vocabulary could elevate the response. For example, instead of 'out of the world,' consider 'exceptional' or 'remarkable'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammar is mostly accurate, but there are a few minor errors. The sentence 'When they say celebrities or TV chefs on big screen...' is grammatically incorrect. The speaker also uses 'have a strong influence' repeatedly. More varied grammatical structures would improve the score. Consider using more complex sentence structures and passive voice where appropriate.
