Well, from my perspective, I think that talent is quite important in sports, but it's not everything. Without talent, everyone can still be resilient and practice every day. For example, I have seen many people who don't have any talent but still achieve many goals in their lives. However, people with talent can progress faster because they already have the ability to do things more quickly. So, if people have talent, I think they will be more successful.

Task Response

The response addresses the question directly and provides a clear perspective. The answer could be strengthened by providing a wider range of examples and exploring the interplay between talent and other factors like training, strategy, and mental fortitude in sports. Consider expanding on the idea that talent is not the only determinant of success.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is generally coherent and easy to follow. The use of 'well' and 'for example' helps to structure the response. However, there are some minor hesitations and repetitions ('they can have workings and practice every day') that slightly affect the fluency. To improve, focus on reducing unnecessary repetition and pausing.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate and appropriate for the topic. Words like 'resilient' and 'achieve' are used correctly. However, the range could be expanded to include more sophisticated vocabulary related to sports and talent. For example, instead of 'do everything faster,' you could use 'master skills more efficiently.'

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is mostly accurate, but there are a few errors ('everyone can still stay resilient,' 'people that they don't have any talents'). The sentence structure is relatively simple. To improve, focus on using a wider range of grammatical structures and ensuring accuracy in subject-verb agreement and pronoun usage. For example, use conditional sentences or more complex clauses.
