Only on Valentine's Day do people see this as a romantic gesture or a way to express their feelings of love. The rest of the year, it is not very common, maybe because the prices of flowers are high in my country, especially natural ones, so people tend to save money to purchase flowers only for Valentine's Day.

Task Response

The answer is well-organized and coherent, directly addressing the question with relevant details. Consider expanding on the reasons behind the high flower prices or providing further examples of occasions when flowers might be given, even if infrequent, to enrich the response.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent and well-structured. The slight grammatical issue with the initial clause ('Only on Valentine's Day where...') could be improved by rephrasing, as shown in the refined answer. Otherwise, the pacing is natural and the ideas flow smoothly.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is appropriate and accurate. Words like 'romantic gesture' and 'express their love feelings' are used effectively. More sophisticated vocabulary could be explored to enhance the response, but the current choices are perfectly adequate.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammar is mostly accurate. The main issue is the slightly awkward phrasing of the opening clause. The use of simple and complex sentence structures is good, but more variety and complexity could be demonstrated for a higher score. Consider using more advanced grammatical structures such as participial phrases or relative clauses.
