Each stage of life brings unique experiences that help you grow. Some of them are small but important, and some are big and unforgettable. Today I want to talk about one experience that really made a difference in my life. This happened when I achieved an important success. At the time, I felt a bit nervous and unsure, but I also wanted to do the right thing. I had two options: follow the usual way or take a risk and follow my heart. In the end, I chose what I believed was right, and I'm really happy I did. Thanks to this experience, I became more confident and responsible. Myself and Gumi's courage helped me keep going.

Pronunciation

Your pronunciation is above average. However, you may find complexity in certain words challenging. Regular practice should aid in improvement.

Task Response

The response is a good start but lacks detail and specific examples to fully address the prompt's requirements. Consider elaborating on the specific achievement, the challenges faced, and the impact on your life and others. Adding concrete details and examples will significantly strengthen your response. The response could be expanded as it currently feels quite brief.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is understandable but lacks a clear structure and smooth flow. There are some hesitations and unclear phrasing. Improving the narrative structure and practicing smoother transitions between ideas would significantly enhance fluency and coherence. Consider using more sophisticated linking words and phrases to connect your thoughts.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is adequate but not particularly sophisticated or precise. While the message is conveyed, using more specific and descriptive language would enrich the answer. Consider replacing general words like "important success" with more detailed descriptions of the achievement. The inclusion of "Gumi" is unclear and needs further explanation or removal.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar contains some errors, particularly in tense consistency and sentence structure. While the overall meaning is clear, improving grammatical accuracy and using a wider range of grammatical structures would improve the score. Pay attention to subject-verb agreement and correct tense usage. Practice using more complex sentence structures to demonstrate a wider grammatical range.
