I used to buy my clothes in an open market like Lagos Island, Oshuti, or even Yaba. That was when I was much younger, when I had time to go shopping. But these days, I'm not able to buy goods in the market because there's a lot for me to do as a mother, and I also work. So I do more shopping online. What I basically do is if I buy from one online vendor, I get some clothes, and the clothes are good and well-sized and all that, and it's real. There are so many fraudulent vendors, so once I find one that is real, I just stick with it.

Task Response

7.5

This is a well-developed and detailed response that directly addresses the question. The answer flows naturally and provides a clear explanation of the speaker's clothing shopping habits, past and present. Consider exploring the reasons behind your preference for online shopping in more depth for even greater detail.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent and mostly fluent. There are a few minor hesitations and repetitions ('and all that'), but the overall flow is good. Consider pausing slightly more between sentences for better clarity and pacing. The structure is logical, moving from past habits to current practices.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate and appropriate for the topic. Words like 'fraudulent vendors' show a good range. However, more precise language could be used in places. For example, instead of 'a lot of me to do,' consider 'a lot to do' or 'many responsibilities.'

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are some grammatical inaccuracies, such as 'there's a lot of me to do' and the slightly awkward phrasing in the second half of the response. While the message is understandable, more precise grammar would improve the score. Focus on subject-verb agreement and sentence structure.
