Task Response

The student correctly identifies the type of building most people live in, but the answer lacks detail. They could have elaborated on the types of houses or the reasons why people choose to build their own homes. For example, they could have mentioned if the houses are detached, semi-detached, or terraced, or if there are any specific architectural styles popular in their hometown.

Fluency & Coherence

The student's speech is somewhat hesitant, with frequent fillers like 'um' and 'ah'. The answer is generally coherent, but the structure could be improved by using more connecting words and phrases to link ideas together. For example, they could have used 'for example' or 'in addition' to introduce specific examples.

Lexical Resource

The student uses a good range of vocabulary, including 'tour buildings', 'build their house themselves', 'designers', 'dream', and 'hobbies'. However, they could have used more precise vocabulary to describe the types of houses and the process of building them. For example, they could have used 'detached houses', 'semi-detached houses', or 'terraced houses' instead of just 'houses'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The student makes a few grammatical errors, such as using 'often' instead of 'usually' and 'depends on' instead of 'depending on'. They also use some awkward phrasing, such as 'ask, ah, for many, uh, um, designers'. The student could improve their grammar by paying attention to verb tenses and using more concise and natural language.
