Personally, I'm not into giving gifts, but I believe that in my country, people do not love to give flowers to each other because they think it's a waste of money. They would rather buy something like food or drinks, something that's very useful for them in the future, or something that can satisfy their hunger. That would be much better for people because they can't eat flowers. For example, if they meet each other, they would go on a date but not just give flowers because they think it's unnecessary.

Personally, I’m not into giving gifts as a person, but as I believe that in my countries, people do not love to give a flower to each other because they think it’s a waste of money. They would just buy something like food or drinks, something that’s very useful for them in the future, or something that they eat that can feel the hunger, that would be much more better for people because they can’t get eat or something.

Pronunciation

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

Task Response

The response addresses the question but could benefit from more specific examples of special occasions. The answer focuses more on why people don't give flowers rather than when they do. Providing a more balanced perspective would improve the response.

Fluency & Coherence

The response is somewhat coherent, but there are noticeable hesitations and repetitions ('something that...'). The ideas are presented, but the flow could be smoother. Try to organize your thoughts more clearly before speaking to avoid unnecessary pauses and repetitions. Using cohesive devices like 'therefore,' 'however,' or 'in addition' can also improve coherence.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but lacks precision and variety. The phrase 'not into giving gifts' is appropriate, but the rest of the response uses simple vocabulary. To improve, try to use more specific and varied vocabulary related to occasions and gift-giving. For example, instead of 'something that's very useful,' you could say 'practical items' or 'essential goods.'

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammatical range is limited, and there are some errors that affect clarity ('people do not love to give a flower,' 'can't get eat'). The sentence structure is also quite simple. To improve, focus on using a wider range of grammatical structures, such as complex sentences with relative clauses or conditional sentences. Pay attention to subject-verb agreement and correct article usage.

Well, I prefer to cook at home because I am a very picky eater. I am really particular about the kind of food I eat. Like I sell it a lot. For example, I don’t use palm oil to cook. I use granulated oil. So I come by stew outside because I don’t eat palm […]

Do you prefer sending emails or text messages

That’s really a good question. To be really honest, it depends on the environment where I am in. If it’s a professional environment where it is required everyone to communicate on email, do Slack, then I would go with the route where everyone is sending emails because just bugging into someone’s text box might seem […]
