Task Response

The student answered the question directly and provided a specific example. However, the answer could be more detailed. For example, the student could have explained what the academic problem was and how their family helped them. The response could be expanded as it currently feels quite brief.

Fluency & Coherence

The student's speech is slightly hesitant, with some filler words like "uh." The answer is organized logically, but could be more fluent and natural.

Lexical Resource

The student uses a good range of vocabulary, but there are some minor inaccuracies, such as "asked for him" instead of "asked for help." The student could also use more specific vocabulary to describe the academic problem.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The student makes a few grammatical errors, such as "help me to solve" instead of "help me solve." The student could also use more complex grammatical structures to make their answer more sophisticated.
