I think building design can have a lot of impact on people's moods. In ancient China, there was something called Feng Shui. Feng Shui, putting furniture and appliances in different places, means something. For example, if you put your armchair in a corner of your house, it can block the flow of money to your house, or if you have a specific plant, it might affect your happiness or sadness. That's why I strongly believe that the design of your home can make your day and boost your mood.

Task Response

The response addresses the question and provides relevant information. The example of Feng Shui is used to support the argument. To improve, consider expanding on the specific ways building design elements (e.g., light, space, color) influence mood, and providing a more detailed explanation.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is generally coherent, presenting a clear viewpoint and supporting it with the example of Feng Shui. However, there are some minor hesitations and reformulations that slightly affect the flow. To improve, focus on maintaining a consistent pace and minimizing pauses. Practice structuring your thoughts before speaking to enhance coherence.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate for the topic, with some specific terms like 'Feng Shui,' 'furniture,' and 'appliances' being used appropriately. However, the range could be expanded to demonstrate greater flexibility. Try to incorporate more varied and precise vocabulary related to design and its psychological effects. For example, instead of 'putting furniture in different places,' you could use 'strategic placement of furnishings.'

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is mostly accurate, but there are a few errors that detract from the overall impression. For example, 'feng shi' should be 'Feng Shui,' and 'extremely believe' should be 'strongly believe.' Pay attention to subject-verb agreement and correct word choice. Review common grammatical errors and practice using a wider range of sentence structures to improve accuracy and complexity.
