Male Female

One day I was sitting and decided to pay some money for advertising and attracting some students so that I can teach English. At the beginning, it was acceptable since everything had been prepared and I didn't need anything except this step. So when I posed this idea to my brothers, they started blaming me and saying, 'You haven't finished your job yet, and you want to gain and do another thing. It's just escaping from reality. You're escaping from your current job, and you're doing this just because of laziness. You do this to say to yourself that you can't commit to an available job. So finish your job, and it's up to you whether you want to complete it or stop.' They really exaggerate. I know that I'm wrong and I have this mistake. I understand this, but since I'm so polite and good with them, they start to think that showing their claws and teeth will make me angry and annoyed. I'm not annoyed by the advice they provided, but I'm so angry at their way of talking. I hope that reached you.

Pronunciation

Your pronunciation is quite good. Working on consistency and tackling difficult sounds may enhance clarity.

Task Response

The response addresses the core elements of the topic by describing a specific discussion with brothers regarding a career decision. The candidate provides relevant details about the conflict and the emotional reaction to the way the brothers spoke. However, to improve the score, the response should aim for greater depth in describing the 'discussion' itself - for example, by detailing the specific arguments used or the atmosphere of the conversation. Additionally, while the personal experience is clear, the narrative structure could be more cohesive. Ensure that all parts of the prompt (if any sub-questions were implied) are addressed with more descriptive language and a more formal conclusion rather than a direct address to the examiner.

Fluency & Coherence

The speaker maintains a relatively steady flow, but the coherence suffers from some logical jumps and repetitive structures. While the narrative follows a chronological order, the transition between the decision to advertise and the brothers' reaction could be smoother. To improve, use more sophisticated cohesive devices (e.g., 'Consequently,' 'In response to my proposal,' 'Despite my attempts to remain calm') rather than relying heavily on 'So' and 'And'. Additionally, ensure the conclusion ties back to the prompt more effectively.

Lexical Resource

There is an attempt to use idiomatic language, such as 'showing their claws and teeth' and 'escaping from reality,' which is good. However, some word choices are slightly imprecise or awkward (e.g., 'an available job' instead of 'a steady job' or 'a permanent position', and 'the device they provided' which was likely a transcription error for 'advice'). To reach a higher band, aim for more precise collocations and a wider range of academic or descriptive vocabulary to express emotions and motivations.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The response contains several grammatical errors that affect the precision of the meaning. There are issues with subject-verb agreement ('everything have been prepared' should be 'had been prepared'), tense consistency, and preposition usage ('angry from' instead of 'angry at/with'). The sentence structures are somewhat repetitive and mostly simple or compound. To improve, practice using complex sentence structures (relative clauses, conditional sentences) and pay close attention to past tense consistency when telling a story.
