Task Response

The student answered the first part of the question well, but then seemed to lose track of the question and didn't answer the 'why' part. They also didn't answer the next question about how often they watch history programmes. They need to listen carefully to the questions and make sure they answer all parts.

Fluency & Coherence

The student's speech was quite hesitant and they used a lot of fillers ('um', 'uh'). They also repeated themselves a few times. They need to practice speaking more fluently and confidently.

Lexical Resource

The student used some good vocabulary, such as 'characterize' and 'particular'. However, they also used some less precise language, such as 'new things' and 'every period'. They need to work on using more specific and sophisticated vocabulary.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The student made a few grammatical errors, such as 'there isn't a favorite period for me' (should be 'there is no favorite period for me'). They also used some awkward phrasing, such as 'every period has new things which characteristic it'. They need to work on their grammar and sentence structure.
